You can see what I own in my signature.

Interested in Glashutte Originale, that may be the next stop for me.

Seiko and Omega, but I recently sold all my Omegas to pursue some more vintage Seiko divers. For me it's vintage Rolex and vintage Seiko from here on out.

Just got a mint 1974 6105-8110 :)

Lots, actually - all vintage but some Omega, Grand Seiko, Seiko... I'll be adding Zenith, Heuer and Breitling shortly, but nothing newer than the '70's for me.

Right now I have (and wear) a G-Shock and Tag Classic 2000 in addition to my Pepsi GMT. In the future I'd like a PP Calatrava and some sort of IWC.

Thanks! The cream dialed Lemania was a RAN issued watch with the engravings still on the back. There are a lot of variations of the lemania chronos. I would like to pick up an issued black dial one as well. I like UK military pieces, The designs are simple, and they are great functional watches.

The french issued type XX chronos are quite cool as well and were made by brueget, vixa, dodane and a few others..I would love to get one of these too....one at a time..
