My humble collection...

Hi TRF,

I have been meaning to send out a pic of my collection in my 1120 pelican case

(Sorry for the low quality pic, promise to take better ones later)

Here is the line up:
1) Speedy on Nato (work)
2) Explorer I 39mm (everyday, outside of work)
3) Planet Ocean on rubber (leisure, beach, scuba)
4) ROC (fancy)

I have been contemplating maybe changing things up or reducing my collection. I am more sentimental about the Omega's and the Rolex as I bought these brand new from the AD.

Let me know what you think!

I love your collection! Very well done. In fact, if that Explorer was a GMTIIC, it would be my idea of perfection. You have all the bases covered and you have some iconic watches from each brand. I love the Planet Ocean, I love the Speemaster Pro and I love the AP ROC. The Explorer is also a very strong choice. Welcome to TRF!!!

You know what??? Alot of guys on TRF have more Rolexes and more "bigger names" (i.e. the haute brands) but I say that's very very close to a perfect collection. Your taste really stands out!!

I love the Omegas and the Explorer. If your AP was a non-chrono , I'd say it was perfect. ( that's only because the only chrono I really love is the Speedy and you already have one)

Overall, very high quality and timeless pieces without the gaudy pretention. Impressive indeed.

Nice collection! If you're looking for another watch, I would consider something with a complication like a moonphase or complete calendar to round it out.
