My 5 Avengers and End Game

Chronograph collection journey "End Game" stops here with these 5 beauts.

When it comes to chronographs within Rolex and Omega, Daytona and Speedmasters are both very well defined models that are very popular among collectors. After nearly 2 decades of trying different variations and figuring out what works for me, this is sort of where I want to be.

Each piece here gives me a different yet special feeling/smile when I put them on the wrist... sort of what this journey is all about... I only wish I have more wrists

Hope you find joy in your collection journey as much as I have.. and boy... it's been so much fun

I’m interested to know where the CK2998 ranks in your chrono collection, and how ‘expendable’ do you consider it to be? Im asking this only because I’m going back and forth about letting my own CK2998 black panda go, so your post comes at a good time.
Regardless, this is an excellently curated range of chronos, congratulations on winning the end game.

I think the OP responded but there is also a 40mm Speedmaster Racing reverse panda. Which I believe is terribly underrated. You can get them cheap!

If interested at all it’s reference 326.30.40.50.01.002

Thanks again guys for the kind words.

They all have their own charm. Black ceramic is Uber sexy and Snoopy a ton of fun but I somehow wear the white Daytona the most

Beautiful Daytona and speedmaster collection. Enjoy in good health.

You can't go wrong with any dial color steel or ceramic Daytona. I too have a dream Rolex and Omega chronograph collection which I aspire to get, some may not materialise of course. 8 total.

1. White dial ceramic Daytona
2. Black dial steel bezel Daytona
3. 50th Anniversary Speedmaster 1957 (limited to 1957, F. Piguet movement).
4. 60th Anniversary Speedmaster 1957, Cal 1861
5. 50th Anniversary Apollo 11 Speedmaster Professional (limited to 6969, Cal 3861)
6. Speedmaster 321, Cal 321
7. Snoopy, Cal 3861, Blue Bezel
8. Tokyo 2020 (limited to 2020, Cal 1861) Red Bezel

I'm more of a Speedmaster movement, milestone anniversary , bezel color collector. Panda or reverse Panda Rolex look not important to me.
