I had a similar thread on the main Rolex forum that I started several months ago. Since then, I’m much lighter on Rolex in my collection, so I thought this would be a better place. Anyway, here’s where I am. I’m quite happy with my current lineup and while I have a couple on order for this year, I’m going to try to stay content with these!
- PP 5320g
- PP 5711/1a
- PP 5167a
- F.P. Journe Octa Automatique Reserve
- Grönefeld 1941 Remontoire
- Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary
- Rolex 116610LN
- Tudor Black Bay 58

I believe there is a forum rule where you are not allowed to post Grönefeld without a shot of the movement? ;)

vandyologist · 30 May 2020, 02:42 AM

As requested!

Great collection with a nice mix of "classic" and "interesting" pieces (if that makes sense).

ap1 · 30 May 2020, 03:04 AM

Outstanding

uscmatt99 · 30 May 2020, 03:23 AM

Really a great collection, you've got excellent taste

Any particular reason you don't currently own an AP?

BigAppleBill · 30 May 2020, 03:30 AM

Excellent collection! I’m curious to know how you find the 5320 in terms of daily wearability and where you would rank it in your collection? Has it lived up to your initial impressions? Thanks!

Because I don’t have a relationship to get a 15202st!

I LOVE it. The size and legibility make it a terrific daily wearer for the office. It’s my favorite of the bunch currently.

Bearxj86 · 30 May 2020, 03:53 AM

All stunning pieces. My only critique is you need a bigger watch box. Preferably one with room for growth :)

Great addition with the 5320G PC.

I see the Lange 1815 didn’t last long?

scarlet knight · 30 May 2020, 04:07 AM

Great collection! Enjoy them all!

WatchEater666 · 30 May 2020, 05:05 AM

How would you compare the finishing on the Gronefeld to Lange or Patek?

Ha! I have two identical ones so I have room for 12 now. This is the only size that fits into my safe.

I was not in compliance with this rule when I first post. Never again....

Awesome collection! All of them are very cool, but that 5320 is the best. Congrats!

alpharulez · 30 May 2020, 08:10 AM

Nice set. That 5320G has been on my list for sometime!

More like State of the Art... this is lovely. Nice collection.

golfinz · 30 May 2020, 11:35 AM

Lovely my friend! Excited to see what's next!

Side note: the OCD in me noticed that the Gronefeld and Omega aren't set to the same time as the others....

It’s not easy to keep all of them wound!

CB is next... I can wait for it, right?

Great set sir.

Dont like Germans or Japanese? :)

Dr Process · 30 May 2020, 08:49 PM

Fantastic. Enjoy them! What is the rotation? Which gets the most wrist time?

1William · 30 May 2020, 10:09 PM

Great collection and very well balanced. You check a lot of boxes with your watches.

Mondays and Tuesdays usually mean a watch on a strap (5320, FPJ, Grönefeld) unless I do SpeedyTuesday. Wednesdays and Thursdays are almost always 5711. Friday 5167. 5167, Submariner and BB58 on weekends and casual evenings and poolside. Overall I wear the 5711 and 5167 the most but all of them get worn.

And the Swiss were neutral. :)

The Dutch were occupied though. ;)

Quick update. Not much change in the past few months which is an improvement for me. Speedmaster out, BLNR in.
