So, probably Jib and Rob knows more than most of you guys, but it was discussed that I am decreasing my collection, exchanging, and re-modelling my line up.

After long considerations, several buy and sell, and trading, heres what I came up with. So ignore my signature, will change it later hehehe...

I now have 4 watches in the rolex family...

1. The yellow gold daytona on strap.

2. The zenith white gold daytona on strap.

3. The gold daydate.

4. The Tudor Heritage Chrono.

I also have 2 panerais that I cannot bear to lose, and I traded one of mine from a 352 to a 233.

1. The Panerai PAM 233.

2. The Radiomir PAM 287.

:)

I am now just waiting for a Polar ExpII, perhaps for a new release with the orange hand, if that may be true. Or maybe find a pre-loved one at a great price. :D

Very nice collection.

bodybump · 18 October 2010, 01:02 PM

Very SOLID Collection you have there Norman!!!

Shade · 18 October 2010, 01:04 PM

Thanks guys!

Oscar: You have a preloved Polar ExpII for sale buddy? :D

Lion · 18 October 2010, 01:09 PM

Norman, what a great group of watches you have there.....which one do you wear and use the most???

PHDX2 · 18 October 2010, 01:12 PM

Excellent collection!

Shade · 18 October 2010, 01:15 PM

Leo, now that is a hard question to answer. They tend to get worn just about the same. But the two Daytonas get the most wrist time, since I work monday to friday, and those two are the best for my working attire.

Second to that would be the Panerais, but the 233 gets more wrist time than the Radiomir. However, I think that will change once my new Radiomir straps comes in in 2 weeks time. :D

Last but not least would be the Tudor Heritage and the Daydate. I only wear the daydate when I'm with sleeved shirt, dinners, etc. While the heritage is purely a casual-jeans-tshirt watch. :D

dddrees · 18 October 2010, 01:17 PM

Outstanding Collection Norman.

Well Done!!!

Frogman4me · 18 October 2010, 01:18 PM

very nice

sleddog · 18 October 2010, 01:21 PM

Very nice Norman.....

So the Tudor was the latest??
Has the wife got you sleeping in the backyard yet??

Shade · 18 October 2010, 01:31 PM

Rob: LOL - no, fortunately, she was quite understanding. I had to let go quite a few, traded a few, and I promised I would only add the Heritage, and a Polax ExpII. So I got the Heritage, but not the ExpII yet... so one more! :D

And guys, thanks for the compliments! :D

As you can see, the day-date and the radiomir is the only two survivor.

I sold all those that didn't get enough wrist time and traded the ones to complement each other to my style. :D

travisb · 18 October 2010, 07:07 PM

The 233 is such a great watch! Looks like you have something for pretty much any situation.

HL65 · 18 October 2010, 08:08 PM

Nice collection Norman--solid!!!

TSW · 18 October 2010, 08:11 PM

Outstanding Collection

Shade · 18 October 2010, 08:20 PM

Thanks guys! Seems like I do have a watch for every situation. Just want one more - the polar expII, and I think I will make a nice set.

leannet2107 · 18 October 2010, 09:25 PM

Nice..... Collection

vukotab · 18 October 2010, 09:58 PM

Fantastic collection, YG Daytona and Tudor Heritage are great pair!

Puffy · 18 October 2010, 10:01 PM

great collection, thanks for sharing the pics

Shade · 18 October 2010, 10:35 PM

Well I have one more slot for a rolex. Which do you guys think I should add up? I've been thinking about the polar expII, but you guys have any idea as to what maybe the last piece of puzzle I should fit in there?

xjeeunitx · 18 October 2010, 10:42 PM

Very nice collection brother. I think the next watch I buy could be a Panerai. They look really sleek.

clum19 · 19 October 2010, 12:13 AM

Great collection... I love those gold daytonas

veidtadrian · 19 October 2010, 12:14 AM

Great collection....love the Newman gold strap daytona!

how many watches did u trade or sell to come up with ur latest collection?

Shade · 19 October 2010, 12:29 AM

Rolexgiant: quite a lot actually, I sold my zenith, AP royal oak, ym, speedy, etc etc. I end up with some extra cash in the account.

I traded my zenith daytona for the whitegold zenith daytona. I traded the ym, Pam 312 for a 233 plus cash.. And I sold my speedy away.. Then a few more.

Wife says I have one too many watches, and I'd have to agree.. So I'm toning it down a little.. And left with these. As I said, I just want one more, preferably a white dial, either a DJII or the polar expII..

Speed · 19 October 2010, 12:48 AM

Nice!!!

Daytonas on strap seem less common. Nice change. I have my Speedy Pro on shark / deployant and loving it!

mtrunner · 19 October 2010, 12:52 AM

Unreal collection. Gorgeous watches. Thanks for sharing.

sakuraba · 19 October 2010, 01:16 AM

That's an awesome collection, Norman!

The Explorer II would be a worthy addition! I would try to stretch my luck with the wife and get a Pepsi-C when (if?) it comes out as well!

ersnyder · 19 October 2010, 01:33 AM

Very nice collection Norman, congratulations and thanks for sharing!
