Scrolling thru my photobucket and Winter Storm outside so I have some time this AM. Thought I would post my watch journey to date. This was inspired by Gus (Subtona). I remember him with a similar post a few months back.

My first "nice" watch the Tag 2000 Professional

Then upgraded to Omega Speedy Professional

Added the Oris Diver BC3

Sold Omega Speedy for my first Rolex:

Sprinkled in a little Panerai and IWC for a short time:

Tried a couple of American brands too....Red Sea and Lum-Tec ( no LT pics)

SOld the Explorer II and purchased the 16610 Sub

Then my love for Tudor started:

Then back to Rolex...............the final frontier:

Thanks for viewing my crazy journey.

What a journey. Great pics and what a diverse collection

sickened1 · 6 February 2016, 03:09 AM

Nice collection Steve. I also started off with a few Tags. It's like a gateway drug for watches.

Rowlf · 6 February 2016, 03:22 AM

Nice photo-documentation of an often nutty journey. If you'd only come back to the Speedmaster 12 times, it would look a lot like my own.

Which one is the favorite?

Cheers,

Ben

Ravager135 · 6 February 2016, 03:44 AM

No offense to the other brands, but as I see it your collection got better and better looking.

I only regret selling one of those watches....the Omega Speedy Pro. I wore that watch as my daily for almost 12 years. As for what is my favorite I would say I am a GMT guy. I currently own BLNR, 16710 with all 3 inserts, Zenith Daytona & Tudor Blue Snowflake Sub. I am quite content for now.

sgmgolf · 6 February 2016, 04:13 AM

Thanks for all the kind comments All. Was nice to revisit all those watches I once owned and where my taste and likes are currently.

djemmtee · 6 February 2016, 04:22 AM

great progression!

rolex_DateJust · 6 February 2016, 04:32 AM

Awesome! I'll probably do something like that too in the near future. Keep it up

HogwldFLTR · 6 February 2016, 04:47 AM

Great documentation of a wild ride!!! I love it. Wish you were able to keep them all. Great results after all.

Danny83 · 6 February 2016, 05:29 AM

Nice

sensui · 6 February 2016, 05:39 AM

Bad@$$ journey OP. I've always been a big Omega fan and still am, so I'd get that Speedy back in your collection despite the Daytona if you can...it's just a timeless classic. After my 1st self bought Rolex.....I am starting to appreciate the brand more and am looking forward to picking up a couple more down the road. Thanks for sharing.

rolexnub · 6 February 2016, 05:43 AM
