Plus an Ebel 1911 BTR Chronograph, a TAG Heuer, Oris Big Crown Complication Moon phase.!
    Nice collection!

    I have the Sarb017 myself, having skinny wrists it's the perfect size for me.
    Also bagged the US limited edition, the SPB089. Love that one.

    Guilty Pleasures

    Seiko watches are like chocolate, one piece is never enough

    I also have a 013 but have to admit I haven’t worn it in ages. I also have an skx031 which I think now needs a service and also have a sarb and a spirit plus a few others.

    My 007 is also modded

    Cars

    It's not like I have many, but with the recent addition of a baby and dog I bought a "sensible" estate and told the wife I'd sell the coupe

    I didn't sell the coupe, nor do I intend to, love driving it too much!

    Start it! But until then, I suggest something based in a Cree XP-L. I have an Astrolux A6 which was cheap from some Chinese website. Works great for the walk-around.

    Re: Guilty Pleasures

    I had not replied until now because I couldn't think of anything I would consider a guilty pleasure, but now I have seen the following:

    That'll have to be mine too. I still believe that I'll get around to them some day, but it is unknown when that will be.

    The amount of games in my Steam library at latest count currently exceeds 1500. I'm not sure how many of them I have actually played, but I would suspect it to be less than 10%.

    Indeed, with most being gained over the years via Humble Bundles and similar rather than directly purchased from Steam (although there are still a number of those, it certainly isn't many in comparison).

    Re: Guilty Pleasures

    Just when the Caterpillar thought the world was over, It became a Butterfly.
    Butterfly wall paper
    Butterfly Painting
    Butterfly pillow
    Butterfly Toys
    Butterfly quotes

    " We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty "
    And
    " Your Wings already exist, All you have to do is FLY "

    its amazing what you heart/mind gets attached too, you develop thoughts & feelings to these things
    they become deeply sentimental to you, price, value or annoyance to others goes out of the window
    As long as they are there your happy, you have a smile on your face.
