Late-60s/early-70s Rolex trio. (I know, really needs a Daytona. 😲)

This thread has got legs now, but if @cristos71 posts another trilogy, I may have to prepare myself before I view his display.

I'm thinking of suiting up with these.

Note: Maximum Absorbency 😁.

Soviet-Russian Poljot 3133 and 31659 Shturmanskie versions... each could be bought for the price of an Omega NATO strap 😗
The Poljot 'Flight' 3133 version has been worn since September 1976 (Soyuz 22) to February 1987 (Soyuz TM-2 by Aleksandr Laveykin)
The Shturmanskie 'Navigator' 31659 version has been worn since February 1987 (TM-2 by Yuri Romanenko) to January 1993 (Soyuz TM-16)
As far as my notes go, about 44 cosmonauts have worn these versions during 30 spaceflight missions... in fact, the most recent photo I have is a March 1994 Euro-Mir Soyuz TM-20 winter Search-And-Rescue image showing Yuri Gidzenko wearing a 31659 chronograph

groupings from individual brands, emphasizing quality and variety instead of quantity. Feel free to interpret the three-watch collection concept creatively

Interesting that the proposal was for same-brand 3-watch “collections” of variety, but the response is instead overwhelmingly indicating a desire to confess to owning stockpiles of multiples 😁

It’s as though a car collector was asked, “if you could only own 3 Chevrolet vehicles, which would they be” and the collector’s hobby-hoarder mind re-interpreted the question as “for how many models of Chevrolet vehicles do you feel you need to own at least 3 examples?”

I think that the initial invitation was, “feel free to interpret ….’?

I didn’t mean to offend!

The point of intended comedy was exactly that despite being invited to interpret a 3 watch collection “creatively” the rather uniform - and seemingly instinctive - response was: triptych-of-nearly-identical-model

Hmmm…looking at this photo, and anticipating how they would look under a pair of jeans, I can see why they’re selling well…

Absolutely no offence given, none taken and no apology necessary. 😀
