Your current collection in one picture + watch talk

[Notepad12]

Mine as follows:

Omega Seamaster 300m, Speedmaster Hesalite, Black Bay 54 and Datejust 36mm

I might sell my Seamaster and replace for another watch but I'm currently undecided on the replacement, I much prefer slimmer/smaller watches... I don't have any use for a formal dress watch and won't find the GMT function useful.

Not really a fan of the current OP's but might consider an 124270 unless anyone else has any recommendations (open to various brands but within a sensible budget)

So, what's your current collection and your thoughts about it?

OP, what size is your wrist. Would be nice to hear how the BB54 and Seamaster compare. Always been on the fence about the 300 diver.

These are my Tudor and Rolex watches. Some are very old and don't have all the original equipment. I like old stuff and I like bargains and the only person I have to please is myself. This is not all the watches I have, but most of the others are not worthy of a luxury watch forum. The picture isn't that great, either.

I like the 16570 polar on leather with end links.

But I always like seeing this lineup. Do you have a current favourite, Grady?

Great collections all round. There's something cool about the focused, smaller collections, as well as the big sprawling ones.

Good thread OP, and love your choices. I'd keep that Seamaster, personally.

[GradyPhilpott]

Thanks, that's an Everest Strap and the end-links are part of the strap. That strap does look sharp, but the white stitching got soiled in one spot, so I took some brown shoe polish to the whole thing and now it definitely looks like an adventurer's watch.

I did buy a brown Everest strap with brown stitching, but the leather is a bit too smooth for the general look that I prefer. I think I may put that strap on my Turn-o-Graph, while I send the bracelet out to be serviced because of the almost unbelievable stretch. The bracelet is extremely comfortable, but it makes me nervous to wear it.

Here you go! 7 cases. All full. That’s most of them. This is the only way to get them in one pic.

Wow Kat! And here I thought I had a problem..........

[Heavy_D]

This is my first and sole luxury watch purchased a couple weeks ago. Omega Speedmaster sapphire sandwich. 310.30.42.50.01.002.

I bought this when I put my name down for a Batman, Sprite, and Daytona. I asked the AD if it would help kick start my wait time. He said, “We have clients who have spent anywhere between $20,000 and $2 million with us. They get priority. I expect your wait time will be a year or two.” I appreciated the honesty. Is it bad that my wife might be getting diamonds for Christmas?

Anyway, the Speedy will hold me over until I can get a Rolex. It is the first luxury watch I wanted and is not a decision I regret. I feel like it can be my daily beater. Of course, I can never wait, so I may have to buy gray market for a GMT if the prices continue inching down.

I think it's quite obvious that we HAVE TO see the other 6 drawers!

Per your request. A lot of mid tier stuff. I do wear them. And I do have favorites! Oh, and I do have another 20, or thereabouts.

We both have the ice blue Tissot and the latest model OP, though mine is the silver, not one of the bright colors. Tissot finally released the Powermatic 80 in 35 mm.

I wouldn’t like to see what you spend in a year on servicing and repairs…

I’d be thrown out my own house if I had over 100!

Then I guess I picked the right guy to marry. HE just bought me the silver dial Rolex OP, knowing I already had 100 watches. As for money spent on servicing, it’s the vintage pieces that are expensive. I send them to a Seiko specialist, in the UK, for restoration, and a complete tear down and service. Do to them being 50 years old, they usually need serious work done.

It does, and Kat needs a therapist. My collection is very varied, includes perhaps 50 Seikos, both modern and vintage., various Micro brands, various Swiss brands, Some Citizens , etc. Now that I have rediscovered Rolex, I will likely sell off a lot of what is in these boxes, As I estimate the total resale value, at about $30,000.00. That could buy me two more Rolexes, which would make a lot more sense. I’ve noticed that I do grab the Rolex, to wear, more days , than not.

Hahaha, this is the best way to display them all. I’m hesitant to put all mine on here in a photo. Such a different environment in the world today and I worry determined individuals might be able to find us! Hope not…

[Krash]

Here is my current collection. I’m happy at this point, but I do want a Bluesy. I’m even thinking about the possibility of trading in my Sub and Seamaster for one. So I would still have a blue dial watch, a Sub, DJ41 and a Speedmaster.

No Rolex or Tudor in my collection, so i'll spare you the picture

Wouldnt mind a couple more Panerais (currently have 2)
Then maybe an IWC BP or a Polar Ex2 (which is the only Rolex i have much interest in)
If i see a Black Bay Bronze come up for cheap, I may grab that in the future too
Nothing is going at this point in time (i'm a hoarder)

[time_and_cars]

Here is mine

Waiting for a SS panda in the near future… also have some plastic swatch/omega cool plastic watch IMO
