[SOTC] Acquired over a long time!

I’ve been into watches for well over a decade. My first big watch purchase was the Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle you see here.

I was fortunate that I acquired both my Pateks nearly 10 years ago when they were much easier to get from an AD. The aquanaut was in stock to purchase as a walk in customer and I only had a 6 month wait for the 5711 (with no purchase history).

The rest of the collection I have acquired over subsequent years all at retail from ADs - with the exception of the Daytona which was purchased new from a grey dealer (I decided I just wanted it and didn’t want play dealer games).

The most recent acquisitions in the past couple of years were the Lange White Gold Odysseus (my first Lange!) and the Green dial 15510 Royal Oak. Both amazing watches and I think with the 5711 my favourites.
