OK, what are you guys buying yourselves for Christmas?

Unfortunately, windows. Lots and lots of windows - my spouse's patience has run out.

I have way too many watches (approx. 50) and decided not to purchase anymore. I've only bought one in the past 5 years, a cheap Invicta Tag Huer Monte Carlo clone. I'm doing my best to resist buying the watch below. I have quite a few pocket knives too.

Hehe, that's one busy watch!
 
my first computer was a zx80, then a spectrum a couple of years later - was amazing and infuriating at the same time
I had an Acorn Electron as my first which was a poor man's BBC at the time, I loved that thing! Still buying/building PC's and gaming, one of my other hobbies!

Yeah but it's a Blue Angels inspired watch! :)

The Blue Angels are the Navy's elite flight demonstration squadron renowned for their precision and grace showcased in each of their flight maneuvers. This precision and grace is exhibited in the CITIZEN Promaster Blue Angels Skyhawk A-T with precise atomic timekeeping in 43 cities. Other features include a chronograph, perpetual calendar, dual time, alarms, countdown timer, digital backlight and UTC display, power reserve and pilot's rotating slide rule bezel. This model appears in a stainless steel case, indigo blue italian leather strap with yellow contrast stitching, yellow accented dark blue dial and bezel with the Blue Angel's insignia replicated on the caseback. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery.

This is a good investment if the old ones are in crap shape. Ours are very bad and leaky thus we deal with a lot of mold and it's tough to control the temp in the house. I'm tempted to pay someone to replace one and I'll just watch and learn and do the rest myself. I hope it goes well for you.
 
Rather go on a trip than buying stuff!
Going to visit this region

Ha, precision I'm sure, grace maybe not so much, just talking the watch here! It's personal preference though.
 
A new camera. The old one it's supposed to replace is only 7 y/o but like everything "digital" that's a long time ... plus I'm a bit self-indulgent unfortunately. :cool:

The new camera, (FWIW), is Fujifilm X-T30 II; it's got a APS-C 26 megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor. The old one is a Fujifilm X-T10, simply a older version but with "only" a 16 megapixel sensor.

I'm buying a camera body only; as in the picture I already have the Fuji FX 18-55mm lens that I bought with the X-T10.
