Since it is the end of the year, I thought I should do a little stocktake of my collection. I take a slow approach to collecting. Since joining the forum in late 2013, I have only gathered 8 watches. But I have enjoyed each one of them immensely, and is unlikely to sell any away.



The other reason I wanted to share this is to highlight OF's contribution. All 3 omegas, the UG, and the Bulova were purchased either from members or through members' recommendations. There is a very good reason why we always suggest to newcomers that they pay attention to the private sales or eBay recommendations threads. The forum has helped so many of us avoid a great many of landmines on the market.

There are a few watches that I hope to land in the future:
Polaris palladium (Found out about this after reading @dsio's article on the Polaris range)
Chronostop
2499 Centenary (still one of my grails)
A rose gold 320 dress chronograph (2 register chronos are )
Rolex explorer 1
Something with a salmon/blue dial to add some colour to the collection

Happy new year everyone! Stay healthy, safe, happy, and keep the watches coming

 

You've a nice collection.

 

Nice! You have a wide range of various watches, dress, sports, steel, gold, round, square...

 

Only 8 watches since 2013? I admire your restraint!

 

Yea…

 

5 more years it might grow to 10

 

I think I averaged more than 8 watches a month last year ... I need to learn your restraint. The title said tiny watch collection and I had this pic all ready to go

 

This is my tiny watch collection all 31mm or less

 

A little bad mood in the lamp in the evening. Seiko needs serviced...

 

Great collection. Enjoy

 

I don't yet 'qualify' to look in the OF Sales section yet. But I did get a watch case for Christmas. Looks fancy with all of the watches exposed. I used to keep each of them in a Crown Royal bag. I certainly do appreciate 'the collection' more since I can now see them all. HNY!

 

Not really a collection, more a gathering of watches that wasn't lost or broken.
Seamaster 2254, Citizen Hyper Aqualand, Vostok Komanderskie, Geneve, Casio, Lorus.

 

You forgot to add something on it's original bracelet. You got too much leather goin on

 

It’s not the size that counts…at least that’s what I tell everybody

 

You cannot sell, but you can buy! Buying is not restricted!

 

Much appreciated...

 

I had half a mind to join @bradurani's thread and give the OP a stroke with my ostrich and stingray straps

Speaking of bracelets, that ribbon dial seamaster you guys sold was sublime, especially with the bor bracelet

 

Yeah I STILL can't sell yet, since 2013 . But I did buy those watches from kind, trusted members.
