I just recently filled the last spot in my case and felt like sharing. I buy watches to wear them so I’m not concerned about them being 100% original parts etc, I just enjoy them for what they are. This is almost a decade of collecting and when I think I have everything I like I inevitably end up discovering something new (to me)!

I can't say I share much of your taste to be honest, though we have a had a few pieces in common, but I do admire the fact you seem to have 2 super thin 712 movement watches.

I love the super thins! In my top 5 for sure.

As the saying goes "variety is the spice of life", buy what you like.

Im actually in the process of finding a new home for the still brand new China Explorers Seamaster on the far right. It is just a bit too big for my smallish wrist.

That’s a handsome family of Omegas! I’m especially happy to see that Manhattan, we don’t see enough of them here on the Forum.

Look at that gen2 dracula monster, very cool watch!
Yes, I know not everyone likes the seiko monster but they hold a special place in my heart. I ended up buying quite a few as the prices started going up and was able to finance about 75% of my watch collection by cleaning and reselling monsters.

That Manhattan has seen a lot of wrist time, followed by the 712s, seamasters and then speedmasters.

Wow... You got an amazing collection. I envy you for a minute there mate and at the same time I am motivated and dedicated to pursue more collection.Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

i felt the same way when I first got into this…. I would see a collection and think wow that is something who would have that many watches. It was a long process though. I made a deal with myself that most of the purchases had to be financed by buying and reselling watches online. That definitely helped as I don’t think I would have been able to invest so much money into the collection otherwise (especially without getting murdered by my wife)!

Nice selection of omega history there! The 1930s t17 looks cool in the top left, perhaps you can provide us a close up? I can’t help notice you’re missing some vital 1940s presence - in the form of my favourite of the omegas… a 30T2.. maybe that’s what you can look for next 😉

Better T17 photo…it’s always hard to cut the glare on some of these…. And yes 30T2 is probably coming….I like a lot of the styles from the 1940s just haven’t met the one yet.
