My little collection.

Hi guys.

Wanted to share my little collection that I am very proud of. I got into this hobby around, maybe 3 years ago.

I love each watch equally, regardless of price. The Seiko SKX was the watch that got me into the hobby. A little while ago, I researched how to mod the watch myself. So that watch is unique for me now. The Seamaster, I bought that in the same month as buying my first house. I've had some brilliant memories with the Omega including the house purchase, holidays to Malta and Sorrento and passing a few important training courses.The Casio "Royale", I bought last week and to be fair, I love it! I've been wearing it non stop since I got it. Its cool to set the alarms and check on the different time zones etc.

I have done a bit of travelling a few years ago including far places like the Cook Islands and I have lived in Australia (Im from the UK). My love of travelling and the water has shaped my watch collection it seems.

I am currently saving for a Rolex Explorer which hopefully i"ll have by the end of the year. Cant wait to welcome her into the collection. Think the 214270 will fit right in.

My grail is a BLNR or a BLRO. Yep, does seem all of the watches have something in common.

Thanks for reading.

Nice collection

Also got the Casio / skx007 / seamaster in my collection too

The Casio - for me - I just saw it & thought what a great looking watch.
Just goes to show that doesn’t have to be about rolex etc

I agree the Explorer will serve your collection well. That's a great little trio you have.

I have that very seamaster and despite having multiple other rolexes, omegas and IWCs I can tell you the seamaster and my Batman are the two I will never sell...

Nice collection you have.. I've been passing over Seamasters for quite awhile before finally just picking up a Bond. It's one of the most comfy pieces with a surprisingly nice but not too much amount of heft to it. Enjoy those Beauties and happy hunting on your Explorer and Blnr/Blro grail as well.

Cheers guys. Thanks for the good comments about my little collection! I'm trying to quote and reply to different messages on this thread? Does anyone know how to do that please?

Today, I wore the Casio to work again, just something I love about the digital dial, world map and I can set various alarms for coffee breaks! :)
