My small collection.

Hello everyone,
I'd like to share with you my small collection, I've been working on it for the last 6 years trading and selling different watches.

- speedmaster straight writing 1973
- submariner 5513 maxi dial mark2 1978
- explorer 2 1655 mark1 1972
- explorer 2 16570 1989 (my vacation watch)

I think I'm going to face a stop for a while and maybe in the future I'll start looking for a 1016 or trade the speedmaster straight writing for an Ed White one.
What do you think?
Thank you very much
Warm regards

T.

What draws you to the predominantly vintage?

1655 is one of my favourites - lots of thought has obviously gone into putting this group together. Makes a nice change from the numerous collections of hard-to-get Rolex sports watches that are shared on an almost daily basis. Thanks for sharing.

Dude, all those watches are fantastic even that speedmaster. Really digging the old Explorer.
That Sub really pops with that Nylon Strap.

Very nice. I agree that a 1016 would add to the collection.

Thank you everyone,
I really appreciate every single message of yours... since you like my collection maybe you can consider to donate me some money to make it even better

Busyboy I just realize over time that my eyes tend to spend more time on a plexy.

2001jesper I do have the bracelets but a couple of years ago a GMT just felt from my wrist... ever since I value more a nato, and I like the look.

Thank you again.
