    2015 Black SMPc on 1515 bracelet
    1965 Seamaster 300 (165.024) on 1171 bracelet
    1979 Seamster 120 (166.250) on mesh

    The chronographs:
    1998 Speedmaster Pro (3570.50) on JB Champion with Timely Wrist Calendar
    1977 Seiko Bullhead on fishbone bracelet.

    The state of my collection? Always changing! I have posted images of most of them before, on this message board. I collect Swiss and American wrist watches, and American railroad grade pocket watches, with a few Swiss (Brandt, Omega) railroad grade pocket watches included. All together ~ 120 watches. And "project" and "parts" watches by the bushel basket. And let's not forget, also clocks. A dozen or so of those.

    How hard did you try? :)
    As recurring thread themes go, this is a good one. Between new contributors and ever-changing collections, it's the ultimate "Ooh I Want One Of Those" threads!
    I'm expecting one to return from service, so I'll hold off on my modest contribution here. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the new collections and the updated collections!

    Hehe, I tried searching collection and going through the 28 pages of results. After that I gave up.

    I must admit I expected more takers. Maybe people will find some time over the weekend to take some pictures of their stables.

    Try search SOTC (State of The Collection) and you will get only 2 pages of result and here is worthy to look at:
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/eoy-sotc.296/
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/je-s-watch-chronicle-2013.8907/
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/sotc-2013-the-longines-wing.9408/
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-sotc-for-2013.9424/
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/sotvΩc.140/#post-957

    Unlike WRUW thread that keep alive (to the point I could not follow anymore......)
    SOTC thread tend to be short lived. There are reasons for that: cumbersome preparation works, logistics (several members here will need more than 5 pages for their collection), security, privacy etc.

    Maybe you should keep encouraging people to keep this thread alive.

    Déjà vu. Just posted on another thread. Here's the SOTC, otherwise known as a snapshot in time that will Shirley change in the near future.
    And don't call me Shirley.

    Natural light and camera phone equal loss of detail. If anyone wants a better picture of an individual watch, just ask. Happy to show off my small, eclectic collection!
    As you can see, half the collection are chronographs. Between a Patek Philippe and a Hamilton, I feel like I have the bookends. I just need to fill in the blanks. I already threw my dream list out there

    Okay just got one in so can post this now...not everything I have so leaving out beaters and some family pieces...

    [​IMG]

    Top row L-R:

    Bulova Snorkel 666, Omega bumper, PAM 104, 1680 Red Sub, 1971 Speedy

    Bottom row L_R:

    Nomos Tangente 35 mm, GO PanoReserve, SM300 modern build, Vintage Tudor Sub (military issued), JLC Master Compressor Memovox

    As you can see more of a "gathering" than a "collection" because I am not particularly focused on one thing as this illustrates. I just buy what I like, and that suits me fine.

    Cheers, Al

    It's been a busy couple of years for me. I'm an opportunistic buyer, so if the price and condition are right, I have no problems hoarding multiple examples of the same piece. Problem is, it's been happening quite often! I'd be willing to bet that this box will look very different in the next 12 months.

    Out of room on top: Tudor Sub 76100 Lollipop, Tudor Sub 7016/0
    Top row: Nomos Zurich Weltzeit, Ed White Speedy, UG Tri-Compax 881101/02, UG Polerouter Sub
    Bottom row: Zodiac Aerospace GMT, 105.012-66CB Speedy, UG Tri-Compax 881101/02, UG Polerouter Sub

    Cheers,
    CF
