Comment on my humble collection

So far, this is what I got after 8 months.



1) Rolex BLNR
2) Rolex Explorer 2 216570
3) Rolex 116610LV
4) Omega Speedmaster Pro Gemini IV
5) JLC Reverso Grande 976

Any comments? I hope to achieve certain balance in terms of looks and colours.

Cool collection. I would love to see more pics of your Gemini IV.

I shouldn't have sold mine...

Guys, thanks for your feedback so far. Appreciate it.

I will post up some pictures real soon. Problem is, I don't quite like those taken by my iphone (still using 4S.....waiting for iphone 6!). I will go find my digi cam for this.

Stay tuned.

Sure...will take some.

It's a lovely watch, and darn accurate. The hexalite crystal gives it a different look and feel as compared to the rolexes.

42mm is perfect for this. I wish the Daytona is at 42mm because at 40mm, I have legibility issues with it.

How about buying it back while the price is still acceptable? It is definitely creeping up for some of these unique speedy pro.

Nice collection - any real pics of it?
Imho there's nothing humble about any collection of luxury watches
