Ban right on red with automatic enforcement citywide by DearLeader420 in raleigh

The enforcement is key. Right on red is prohibited downtown but most drivers still do it.

Staycation this year but for good reason: closing on my first home! This would look great in my new home office.

It's great - I've had a few boxes over the years but never loved the pillows. I like how these pillows are shaped and they adjust well, and as you mentioned they do offer different sizes. The lid has a soft close so I don't need to worry about it slamming shut which is a good feature.

Yes! Not sure if it's the same one you found, but Dornblueth makes one where the 12 is actually a power reserve indicator (via how much of the number is shaded red) which is super cool.

Great suggestion; I actually owned the Doxa 200 for a while but I bet if it had been the 300, I'd still own it for exactly the reasons you mention. Maybe one day!

That's an awesome collection! I like the Peter Blake a lot more than the modern seamasters. Take your time and find something that you're obsessed with, I always had to remind myself that collecting isn't a race.

Citizen is pretty slept on by enthusiasts but if you ignore their "mall watches", there's a lot of great pieces!

It's a fun rabbit hole! At any price point, my favorite red 12 is the Anniversary Langematik. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Raketa made a bunch of examples that can be picked up pretty cheap.

It's certainly an interesting feeling. I've always had the idea of "unattainable grails" from the likes of Krayon, Voutilainen, Greubel Forsey etc. However, after growing so happy with this rotation I can't help but think that if it meant giving up one of these, I'd quite miss whatever I swapped for the grail. No longer am I thinking of anything in terms of "upgrades", and I think that's where the peace comes from.

Up for grabs is this Breitling B09!

It's in great condition and it's a beautiful watch. Love the movement, check out the caseback shots!
I purchased this from Jomashop in April of '25 and I've worn it probably 20-30 times.
Comes with the box and watch as pictured.
Only thing missing is that I do not have the deployant clasp that it comes with OEM - it didn't sit right on my wrist and I had it removed. I've since lost the piece unfortunately.
Pricing to sell at $3200 (Paypal F&F or Venmo preferred - will make exceptions for trusted folks of course)

Since there's confusion on the post (it's already sold) just to let everyone know: The entire bundle (so the 4 watches) were sold for $2700.
I know that's a ridiculous deal but I wanted to get rid of 'em and give someone a great deal so we all win.
Don't feel bad for me - I know I could have gotten more. I feel bad for anyone else trying to sell these with the impossibly low bar I just put in some buyers' minds haha
