As 2009 winds down I thought it might be nice to see what timepieces 3T members have added to their collection during the past year. With our diverse membership it should make for some interesting eye candy imho.yourock.gif I'm hoping you all take a little time to help make this image heavy so let's see what you've brought into your collection for 2009.:D

Here's what I added in 2009 in more or less chronological order.

Omega Aqua Terra 2502.33



Boschett Cave Dweller #4 Orange (now on BH NBR)



Parnis Chronoswiss Homage



Aristo Titanium Luminous Pilot



Glycine Lagunare 3819



Invicta 8926 (OB)



Orient CDB04001D "Marcus Gronholm LE"



Pirelli P-Zero Titanium Day/Date



Omega Seamaster 2254.50



Ernst Benz Chronosport



Precista PRS-3 LE

Hmmmm...I'm thinking I didn't get that much this year....I was hanging on fro the Debaufre NAV GMT (2008 was banner year).  I know I got a Cave Dweller and a Debaufre WOG Pilot, a Dievas Flieger Timer...and a whole buttload of straps from Paul (ORB), debaufre and Steve-O.

Great pick-ups gentlemen! ThumbsUp02.gif
This was the only addition to the family (so far) this year


However, I am very tempted to add a Seiko Black Frankenmonster to the collection before the year is out :D

Well Mark It was a great idea to start that thread and i thought it should be done every year but... it's too bad not more people are participating here, I feel sad...I like to see watch pictures, they make me do WIS DREAMS subtlelaugh.gif  I was sure we were a few Watchaholic around here.  I have seen so many nice watches from 3T members in 2009.  There must be more than that!!! 

Come on guys, don't be shy, you're wife is not looking...let's try one more time with a BTTT hand6.gif

Great thread!

New aquisitions

Dievas Aqualuna (LOVE this one, but it was just too heavy so I sold it.  Still miss lookin' at it though)



Halios Holotype (keeper for now!)



Doxa 750T GMT Caribbean (another keeper!)



Scubapro 700 foot titanium automatic (still have it, though it's taken a backseat to my Moray's now)



Hammy Below Zero all silver (this one looks good with anything so I wear it a lot)



Moray dart dial brushed (My current favorite black dial watch)



Moray Silver brushed (Loved the dart so much, I had to get another!)



To be continued...there are a couple waiting under the Christmas tree...toon1.gif

Well here is what i can remember and i am sure i will forget some or do not have photos of some. no order and my wife knows about all of them, and still ask "do you really need another watch?" every time a box is at the door!











As for what i sold the count is about 10 and i really do not think next year will be anywhere near as big as this year. It has been a great year and i have enjoyed hanging out with all of you here on 3T Happy Holidays!

I pretty much started this hobby this year with an Oris F1 chronograph.  Got a bit carried away for a while but have settled down a bit lately.  Here are the ones that are left from the buying and flipping (chronological order):

Oris F1 chrono '08



Sea-Gull M185



Casio G-Shock Riseman (No picsmistake.gif)

Breitling SuperOcean (circa 2007)



Seiko Monster



Benarus Sea Devil



Orient CFA05002B



Hamilton Khaki Action Sunset



Orient CFT00006W



TX Series 500



Debaufre Csar PVD



Benarus Moray



Seiko Ananta Spring Drive GMT



And hoping the polished Megalodon will make it in time for 2009!

Well...2009 was a crazy acquisition year for me (definitely a year of making up for lost time in a hobbie I have loved for years!!!).  I doubt I will ever see another year like this one in terms of the total numbers, but as you all know, this great site at 3T tends to "feed the disease" subtlelaugh.gif.

So to all the great enablers with whom must share some of the blame...

In chronological order:








The Blue Monstrum came in and went out (to Daniel here at 3T) in 2009
