I have been buying too many pretty watches in the past.
Since joining TRF, I have found my direction towards classic masculine pieces.
I thank members here for inspiring me

Thank you

Finished!

Ofcourse this is not any less perfect at all.
Nicely done bro!

Funny you should mention that as my screen saver is currently a 5512
Were I able to get my hands on a mint, untampered & unmolested example, I would surely add it to this small collection.

For me, life is just to effin' short to not be IN LOVE with either 1) what I own, or 2) the story behind why I own it.

For a good few years my entire collection was the one Sub I inherited from my Dad. I wouldn't trade it for any other collection on Earth.

Just my opinion and probably worth every penny you're paying for it, ;)

It was a joke. Saved for a long time to buy them. My watch account is now empty.

timlaw · 1 December 2015, 08:59 AM

my theme is generally stainless steel sports watches or "what can I get next" - I thought I had it licked but no - 4 watches in the last 2 months - but at least I did sell 3 of the more unloved pieces in the collection so it has been more challenging than catastrophic to my wallet.

current assembly

LuminousMaximus · 1 December 2015, 09:06 AM

Yes...My collection has a theme..."I'm lucky to have what I have...lol!"

jrs146 · 1 December 2015, 09:22 AM

My theme is spend too much money!

Changes all the time. Generally wanted a collection that went with my attire and my lifestyle. So different colored dials and bezel inserts to go with different outfits and occasions. As I get older the theme has really changed to vintage and much less concerned about matching it all up.

springer · 1 December 2015, 10:21 AM

While my collection consists mostly of vintage GMTs, I buy what I like when something nice or unusual comes along.

MitchSteel · 1 December 2015, 10:26 AM

My collection has more of a purpose, rather than a theme.Quality,versatility and variety.A nice Chrono, a GMT, a pseudo dress watch, a do it all sports watch, so on....

Jfullm42 · 1 December 2015, 10:35 AM

My Theme would be no matter what the flip, I always end up with a Sea-Dweller or GMT on my wrist

tkerrmd · 1 December 2015, 10:38 AM

Gotta admit my watch theme is Rolex

Gus probably has the best idea, I just however, find myself strangely drawn only to Rolex

Rt0203 · 1 December 2015, 10:42 AM

I wouldn't say a theme. But I do like to collect a good example of some of my more admired brands. Along with some diversity in function and appearance!

Wcdhtwn · 1 December 2015, 10:47 AM

^^ Dr. Tom. Outstanding!

jhe888 · 1 December 2015, 10:52 AM

Telling time.

In other words, no. I like to have watches that are different.

very diversified group, nicely chosen

Angrypuppy · 1 December 2015, 12:06 PM

My theme has been black dial, SS, with oyster bracelet watches.

I think that is about to drastically change.

Edit: I resized the picture I think. I hope it fixes the page.

I actualy think I know where I will find it, but this was a process I had to go through. More watches is not the answer for me.

sea-dweller · 1 December 2015, 12:42 PM

SS Sports Watches, would be my theme...

Gus your collection is stunning and reflects a true watch enthusiasts insight and wisdom

ernie2 · 1 December 2015, 01:02 PM

My theme is : low key watches my wife wouldn't notice. So I can add one here and there and she will not know

OPExp · 1 December 2015, 01:14 PM

I don't know if it qualifies as a "theme" but for the last few months I have been acquiring watches that I have admired and desired since childhood.
Sub, Datejust, Explorer, and most recently an Omega Speedmaster.

GB-man · 1 December 2015, 01:16 PM

SS, water tight, comfortable

HogwldFLTR · 1 December 2015, 01:23 PM

Simple theme...own the watches I love!!!

dominic.warren · 1 December 2015, 01:27 PM

My theme is "things that tell time and go on my wrist".

Dr.Smellody · 1 December 2015, 01:28 PM

Yes, they all have oyster cases and most are subs.

Mick P · 1 December 2015, 07:56 PM

Chaps

I only have 3 Rolex plus an Omega and JLC gathered over the years, so it hardly merits the word collection.

The only thing I have disciplined myself on is never ever ever buy a gold or TT Rolex because the chunky bracelet makes it looks a bit loud.

So the theme for Rolex is that it must be SS.
