What do you think about my latest addition, the TG195? Lovely chocolate dial, no? One of your phrases I remember from your comment, and that's a good basis for developing my train of thought: "You are the master of your collection until your next discover...

Not quite sure what this refers to? The plan is to expand horizontally into vintage chronos. I want to sample as much as possible before going down a vertical. Next up is the Jaeger 4ATM Hope Junior is well!
