I’ve been thinking of cataloguing my watch history for some time and today I had a spare hour so thought I’d see if I could capture it in one picture!!

And now I’ve done it, I challenge you to do the same!

I didn’t realise how many watches I’ve managed to get through.

And hadn’t realised that 40% of the watches I’ve bought have been Rolex!

Over to you...

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing. Actually thought about doing something like this for a while, but I’d need more than an hour and a bigger spread sheet haha.

Chadridv · 29 November 2018, 06:05 AM

Oh, and amazing current collecting btw. Some of my all time favorites.

JSingh22 · 29 November 2018, 06:18 AM

Very nice to see a collection grow and improve over time. Great current line up btw!

Vince that's the first time I have seen something like this on here!

Have you never fancied a VC considering you have had others of the holy trinity?

Yes, I’ve thought about it, and will probably consider a VC when I finally take the plunge and get a dress watch. I need to grow up first!

Lol...I just made a list of all watches I’ve owned by year...just didn’t put pictures to it...very cool post! And awesome collection

brigadoonb · 29 November 2018, 08:10 AM

I like it....great passion list

travisb · 29 November 2018, 08:26 AM

Very cool, Vince! I wish I had taken more pictures in the past.

ian.thomas · 29 November 2018, 08:28 AM

A freaking Gantt Chart of your collection! I've seen it all!

I love it!

droptopman · 29 November 2018, 08:52 AM

Cool post and great collection. I have been collecting for 30 years. Do not have pictures and I am sure I cannot remember all of them, but I think I will try and do a timeline for fun.

SS Oyster · 29 November 2018, 09:04 AM

That's pretty cool what you put together there.

You might want to mention in your "Incoming" thread to TRF that you have done a lot of business with your AD (they didn't just call you because you put your name on a list last week). Or, unsuspecting members looking for their next watch may think they will get a similar "nice call from their AD today. So many are waiting years thinking it will be easy as it is for serious collectors who have invested a lot with their AD.

faimag · 29 November 2018, 08:51 PM

Very-very cool, but I am not nearly as technically inclined or equipped with photos of past watches to do the same!

Uh...yeah. x2 on that.

OP: Thanks for posting, great idea.

Boaters · 30 November 2018, 12:18 AM

I think it would take me longer than an hour. But wow what an awesome collection you have

ap1 · 30 November 2018, 01:06 AM

Cool idea / like some others, I’d need a super computer

toucan · 30 November 2018, 01:26 AM

AK797 · 30 November 2018, 01:48 AM

So you're the guy who bought a Baume? Always wondered.

I love the chart, nice collection.

Nick M · 30 November 2018, 03:49 AM

The current collection looks VERY different than it did in the beginning, cool to see the evolution!

I also noticed there are no blue lines on the chart. All keepers?

singe89 · 30 November 2018, 04:36 AM

Very cool! Would love to do one to try and remember all the watches I've had over the last 15 years of collecting but dont have pics of most of them.

Good spot...not all keepers, but not sure yet which ones are going! I had decided, but now I’m having second thoughts!! Will make a decision before the new year and update my chart!

Brilliant !! Haha great way to show the collection evolution over time.

Chiboy · 30 November 2018, 06:58 AM

Am I really the only one (besides OP) who took the time to research, find pictures of, and diagram a 30+ year history of Rolex watches???
