Over the last few months, I have been slowly realising that there was a lot of money tied up in just one watch - My Sub no-date.

So a week or so ago, I decided to sell it and see what was available on various fora that I could blow the money on  ThumbsUp02.gif

So in essence, I have traded my 1 watch and have 3 instead:

1st up is this Doxa 750t Sharkhunter







Love the big, chunkiness of this one and even though it is chunky, does not look rediculous even on my 7" wrist

2nd is this Breitling Avenger 3000M





Again, another chunky one, but is quite light, due to the fact it is Ti

And last, but by no means least is this:

Zinex Trimix 2000M GMT (previous owners pics!)



This one is still on it's way, so no comments from me as yet!

Thanks for looking

Mark

The Breitling is my favorite for the look.
From my side it's also 3 basic ETA mvts against an inhouse... Two 2824-2 and one 2836-2 with GMT: I don't need to explain you that the GMT feature on the 2836-2 don't belong to ETA but is rather an Asian conversion.
The real ETA version for a GMT is a 2893-2 but the price is higher.
I don't know: It's cool to have 3 watches instead of one, I agree, but it depend of what you exchange to what.
After it's a question of taste and search...
But if you are happy, all is in order!

Not a bad theory on the one for three exchange though if I had a sub I think I would be hard pressed to part with it due to Will's point on the ETA versus Rolex (in-house) movement. Nonetheless the Doxa and Breitling are visually striking and well built watches which I am certain will serve you well.thumbsup.gif

Do tell if you feel a certain longing for that sub!toon1.gif

I had the same feeling: I would had to be really hard pressed to sell it. But I have a little crush on inhouse and them price are keeping more value in time than others...
Also: I want a non-dated subsubtlelaugh.gif

Finding it hard to agree with your move, Sparkii.

I suspect many would do the reverse or trade 3 into 1...but that's just my opinion. Lesser watches mean less  complexitysubtlelaugh.gif

Enjoy your 3happy1.gif
