Looks like the Speedmaster is the most popular watch here as in featured in the most collections....good going!!
Phone camera picture with unskilled operator, but this is all of mine for now. I think this will be it for quite a while now, I haven't seen anything (that I can afford) to take my fancy recently. My favorite this week is the Orient Star, I just love that dome!
Afternoon everyone.
Here is an update showing the 13 watches with which I will now see out 2016...
Across the top:
Bulova 96B251 Chronograph Special Edition Moon Watch
Top row left to right:
Certina DS Action Titanium
Seiko Prospex SRPA21K1 PADI 'turtle re-issue'
CJR Airspeed Pilot Regulator
Panerai Luminor 00156 GMT Regatta Laureus Special Edition
Seiko Prospex SRP641K1 'Baby Tuna'
Maranez Layan Limited Edition
Bottom row left to right:
Steinhart Ocean 44
Breitling Avenger Skyland
Steinhart Marine Chronometer II
Breitling Avenger Seawolf II
Orient Mako XL
Breitling Navitimer World
This is really beginning to feel like the collection that covers all the bases for me - no desire for a Rolex and I don't 'do' dress watches. If I was going to upgrade it at some point I think the no. 1 change would be to replace the Orient with a Doxa Sub 1500t Professional; that, however, would take an injection of cash I certainly don't have right now.
Apart from that I just need to do something about the awful strap on the Baby Tuna...

This is my collection as it currently stands.
Need a bigger safe!
About 2 thirds rarely ever get worn, so looking forward to a bit of spare time away from the dissertation to get some sold. I'm at the point where I'd like to consolidate the collection down to something like 8. Still can't work out which though, but 8 speedmasters is too much, especially when 5 are the same model, damn my indecisive nature.

Guido-K - Which model is that square Girard Perregaux please?
Hi Progressive
I believe the collection is called "damier" and the number inside the case is 7400.

Here's mine as I recently added the Black Bay and photographed the lot
This photo formed part of my recent forum introduction (along with reasoning behind each purchase):
Hello all!
my humble collection, an Omega MOTM as sportswatch, a JLC Reverso as weekendwatch and a Longines 994 6397 as dresswatch.
I inherited the last one from my father so although it looks kind of old fashioned it means a lot to me.
What should the next be? Any recommendations?
A Blancpain fifty fathoms.

Damasko is the quintessential tool watch. Quality wise is top notch, German minimalistic and austere design with no concessions to redundant and unnecessary frills. It's like you love it or you hate it.
It's like Sinn.....but even more teutonic. I use my Da36 as my most quality under the radar watch at office (if I had to go and ask for a pay rise I would wear this :) ).
Wowser.... congrats on a great collection!

Sure can.
Ir was my grandfather's watch that was gifted to him from his brother in law who, I believe, bought it new.
Dates from 1954 cal. 266. I believe it's model ref ck2800. Stainless case, press in back.
Recently serviced and dial refinished (I know, I know - it's my watch and not for sale, plus one man's patina is another man's crud!).
Here's another couple of pics...
