Gus, your collection has truly changed! It is very impressive. I do not see very much need for consolidation, each piece is gorgeous and unique. Congrats!

Thank you, the 5940 case is really wonderful and typically seen on very limited releases. It is curious why there is not more buzz around it.

Thank you for a most fascinating story and the opportunity to see such a vast collection of beautiful watches.
One of the best I have enjoyed in my brief time on this forum. My modest collection consists of a Sub and Explorer 1, and I get great pleasure from them. Looking forward to watching the progress of your story. |

Very nice collection evolution. I think that the Explorer 2 is underrated.

I very much appreciate the Lange watches, though I have never owned one. the movements are absolutely fantastic and the precision of the mechanics are beyond compare. Quote:

Don't know how I've missed this thread until now. Great collection as it stands and I very much enjoyed reading some of the reasoning behind your decisions.

This is a very inspiring thread, especially for someone like me with a modest collection and only a few years into this hobby/addiction. I love seeing the evolution. Just wonderful.

Sometimes the 5711 Nautilus but for the way I was using it, the submariner was the better choice. Preferring no date was a big factor in the decision.
Even Pre price insanity, I found the msrp difficult to justify for a sports watch with a not particularly compelling movement.

You have a beautiful collection and had some other not less awesome watches. What are others grial watches for you, if any?
For me the A Lange 1815 time only is that kind of watch , the FP bleu is another. About consolidation, well is difficult but that Oris has to go (I have the blue diver 65 so nothing against it) it's the weakest link. As second, the Seiko has to go! Now that the Cintrée is in the Seiko is redundant. Of course that's just me. I will keep watching if you flip any. Thanks for sharing. |

Agree with you the oris and the Seiko don’t quite fit in. The oris was purchased purposely as a travel watch for places I might not feel comfortable wearing a rolex, that said I have not traveled without my rolex on since my first in 1991. The Grand Seiko is probably going to be in my collection for a long time, the closer you look at it the more amazing you realize it is. It satisfies my desire for a classic looking dress watch. Re the ALS 1815, that is probably my favorite choice for the brand. Nothing on the watch radar except a modern Pepsi at the moment. Actually I am have been dreaming about a Porshe 911 for a very long time ...

One of my favourite threads Gus and one I check from time to time to see how your collection is changing. It's been so enjoyable to see how your taste has evolved.
