Thank you [mention]Split-Time[/mention] and [mention]AndroidIsAwesome[/mention] for the mention.
Every year my collection goes through some changes. I had to give up a big boy but ended up with my current favorite.
Saw this on Toppers weekly preowned selection and pulled the trigger pretty quick (even after posting the deal here). Justified it as a birthday gift to myself.

Honorable Mentions:
Sinn 104 ST S A B E
I have always wanted a Sinn and got on this during their pre-orders.
I have a love and non-love for this watch. It gets very limited wrist time due to how highly polish it is and I always want to sell it - until I wear it again.
Seiko SLA021
Initially, I was going to buy my friends sbdx017 but he took too long to decide. I was able to snag this at Marquis Jewelers when they had their 35% off. I've yet to see another one on sale again.
It's a big boy and has handle all the abuse I can throw at it at the moment. I love this watch.
but I also hate the cheap bracelet and the bezel could've been better.
Eterna Bronze KonTiki
With the help of [mention]AndroidIsAwesome[/mention], I was able to grab this watch. Granted, it's a high price to pay but it has been on my radar ever since Ashford dumped them a while back and I snoozed out of the deal.
It's a HUGE BOY. It even has a dust under the crystal (
yes, you heard me. This one too.)
But I love it. It gets very little wrist time until I can find a proper strap to handle it.
BEST BARGIN DEALS HIGHLIGHT
Common, you had to know its non other than the Tjmaxx deals.
Victorinox Swiss Army Airboss Chrono
I was one of the first to find them after they were posted. Absolutely best deal for a 7750.
I really wanted to like it. But decided to let another member have it who may enjoy it more.
Citizen Quartz GMT
Brought this alongside with the VSX Airboss on impulse.
What's funny is that it cost as much as the Airboss, lol.
Pleased to say, I am very happy with the purchase. It's become part of my quick grab-n-go watches rotation.
Hamilton Khaki Quartz
Another pleasant impulse purchase from Shopworn. I thought it was so cool and had never seen this version posted before. It is also now part of my grab-n-go rotation.
