April - June 2024 Q2 review

As you can see from Q1, I have really put in efforts to slow down my watch collection. For Q2 where I have sold or traded away 17 non core watches in order to bring in only 8 new addition. I am refocusing back on vintage Bubbleback watches as key plus one or two unique watches.

For Q2, the first watch that I have found a watch that I have been looking for a long time. For the coming months, I have decided to stop collecting so that I can help JJ with his down payment for his apartment.

 This is a Vacheron & Constantin ref 6694 with Batman lugs and nice gold caliber 1072 automatic rotor. It fits my requirement of having the gold rotor, screw back case and big watch.

Rolex Bubbleback ref 2940 from 1946 with a nice history and all original conditions 

Rolex Bubbleback ref 5010 with nice overall case condition.

Traded Avia Watch and telephone dial watch for a nice Longines Tonneau from the 1920s, brining back nice memories of my time with Longines.

Traded a Roger Debuis ass tray for this watch

Rolex ref  4645 square Bubbleback 

Rolex Bubbleback with subsidiary seconds ref 2764, from 1942 

Traded Omega Seamaster 168.005 & Rolex Steel BB 2940 for a Vacheron & Constantin Ref 4996 (Special Gift from JJ)

During my early years of watch collecting, I collect all sorts of watches. I have started my process of streamlining seriously and are determined to keep the total number of watches under 200.
