After a few deals the family went from this:

To this:

I do miss the Sub LV but 5 digit reference bracelets never fit me right...

The FOIS is also missed, but I wanted something I could swim with...

So, here it is!

I’d like to add a Nautilus, but at current prices the chances are slim to none.

Good collection. All bases covered. If it was me I would have kept the speedy and the Kermit. Nevertheless it is very cool. Enjoy them in great health

Like the swap on the AP. Definitely should have kept the Kermit.

brandrea · 22 April 2018, 03:58 AM

Nice collection

liuk3 · 22 April 2018, 04:01 AM

Nice collection. Looked good before and after.

But I like the “before” little better....

Yes, either of those collections are great.

Congrats on the new additions.

very nice collection

TheRolexKingofLV · 22 April 2018, 04:30 AM

Nice collection!

glamorama · 22 April 2018, 04:40 AM

Very nice collection!! Seems well thought out. Like that you have something for every occasion. I would perhaps have kept the Kermit instead of Omega though (ok fit is perhaps a problem..) or changed to a JLC Polaris Date (too similar to Aquanaut..).. no it's perfect.

How are you thinking regarding what pieces you have in your collection? Do you have one-brand-one-watch rule or?

How come you got rid of the two chronographs? Don't like the complication anymore?

watchwatcher · 22 April 2018, 05:11 AM

Very nice.

yannis · 22 April 2018, 05:47 AM

Beautiful collection!

zjd168 · 22 April 2018, 05:52 AM

excellent collection. Like your new version more.

Urosfan · 22 April 2018, 05:54 AM

Nice collection

j-watch · 22 April 2018, 06:33 AM

Nice collection, but I'm curious why you felt you "couldn't swim" with the FOIS Speedy? Was it the strap? I understand they only have a 50M water rating, but that's more then enough for a casual swim here and there. I've never worried about any of the speedy's (admittedly mostly speedy pro's) over the years.

Anyway, love the AP and AL&S, they are stunning!

lucevan le stelle · 22 April 2018, 06:38 AM

Well thought out. But the question is what will you buy next?

wisguy · 22 April 2018, 07:00 AM

Thanks for the comments.

Loved the Kermit but never wore it.. didn’t like the fit.

Loved the FOIS but was apprehensive about swimming with it, despite having bought a vintage bracelet for it.

Chronos, never timed anything. GMT is more useful for me.

Someone mentioned Polaris, yes... the Omega will probably make room for one someday.

What’s next? Not much, only thing I really want at this point is a Nautilus and a Polaris, I’ve flipped so many...

Seems like you and me have very similar taste! I'm far behind you on the watch budget though but expect my collection to look similar like yours one day.

ap1 · 22 April 2018, 07:39 AM

swap, omega for Kermit then

sensui · 22 April 2018, 07:55 AM

Pretty nice looking collection!

Keptone · 22 April 2018, 08:01 AM

very nice and precise collection.

oldman2005 · 22 April 2018, 08:04 AM

wisguy · 22 April 2018, 09:44 AM

It’s not that I have a one Watch per brand rule, but I like variety.

Plus I’m lazy and don’t rotate much, so having more watches is not an option (no safe queens here).

Where I live you can’t wear a Rolex at all times, that’s where the Omega comes in.

HL65 · 22 April 2018, 09:52 AM

Nice collection!

Boba Fett · 22 April 2018, 10:30 AM

I think if you swapped the omega for a VC and added a Seiko diver you'd have the perfect collection.

I had a VC Overseas once, previous version though, the new one with the straps would be a great choice, no doubt!
