Your current collection in one picture + watch talk

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.

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.

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)

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.

My Collection In One Photo

This is my current collection. Three Rolex watches at this time. I don’t find myself lusting over other watches currently in the marketplace but who knows about the future.

Here is my current collection. I'm hoping to add a GMT to it soon and plan to sell the moonswatch and Mori because three feels like plenty.

Nice collections everyone

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.

Even a Seiko looks better , on a Jubilee. My other favorite bracelet is a Beads of Rice, as on my new Rado Captain Cook.

Here is my small collection. I like the diversity of colors. It’s probably the end of my journey into watch world. If I had the funds, I would add this last one…

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.
