My modest collection.

Started in 1981 with the purchase of the Seiko 6309-7049 when I was 12. Saved a long time to get that watch. I'm glad I still have it. After that I wanted a Submariner (that I never bought). In between the Turtle and the Luminor Submersible (2003) were some Tags and other miscellaneous watches. There are a few Panerais that have come and gone as well. Bought my son a Tudor BB41 for his HS graduation (not pictured). The last is the Batman from an AD this past Saturday.

A collection without a Panerai has no future . (Quoting Coco Chanel out of context .)

Love the Panerai Sub

Great collection, but I LOVE that you kept your first Seiko all these years. My favorite brand after Rolex.

That's a great collection. Curious as to why you never picked up the sub?

It just never happened. When I was in the position to get one I was introduced to Panerai and had their Sub within weeks. Then a few years ago when I was in the market I ended up with the Yacht Master.

Thanks for all the replies. I never thought I'd have a collection like this. No safe queens here. I wear my watches. Maybe a Daytona next...
