    My first SOTC in a while with my latest additions...

    Yesterday, in case you don't know, I picked up an SD50. Today? A D-Blue, so it's about time I did an SOTC of my core collection. The Swatch was my grandmothers and is probably the most sentimental of the lot, with the rest being worn in rotation.

    Great collection. Does the Aerospace get much of a look in - being the most accurate?

    Absolutely. It's a great watch. I wear it for business when I want something classy but not over the top. It's very light but well balanced, and great for traveling as well of course.

    Yes sir. The new ones haven't been worn yet but this weekend will be a busy one and my GMT will be better for the occasions I think; bit more dressy.

    I think it's just the angle. I just compared the two watches side by side and there's a decent difference in the sizes of those two; the SD50 being shorter lug to lug and less tall.

    That is my work Casio, but it's rare somebody doesn't say to me "ooh I love your tag!" lol

    Great set. A Good selection too. For all occasions.
    Wear them in good health and EnJoY them.

    Nice group of watches Wayne ...
    How about something with a white dial to add a touch more colour?

    Nice collection. I like the Tuna, the casio doesnt look out of place, and the Swatch looks quite trendy considering it must be fairly old?

    I really like your collection Wayne. If I had to pick one, it would be the TT GMT. I've always liked the colour mix of steel, black gold and green.

    I was looking for an Explorer II for a while (previous generation) but to no avail. I would like a white dial watch though. I actually don't mind the gold version of the Omega Commander (I know!!) but it'll be silly money and there's only 7 of them to be made.

    The Tuna is actually a SUN019 and the Swatch only a year or so old :-)

    I was considering doing a shot like that as a pi$$take but ran out of time lol

    Wearing it now. Never thought I'd like the bi-metal but it's a watch I wear regularly and adore now.

    Great watches, I have always been a fan of the range but the Evo took it to the level I wanted. It could easily be my only watch TBH.

    It's surpassing what a varied collection of Rolexes you've amassed. Really impressive. Don't like wearing your posh watches to work??

    Lovely collection. Having just trawled through the "other" thread, all I can say is well done for getting back on horse, so to speak.

    Great collection there Sir.

    The GMT still seems to be wearing it's stickers..... Shame, get 'em off. If you're not gelling I'll happily swap a SD-c for it, to further your SD collection ;)

  27. #27
    A great line up, a watch for any occasion there Wayne.. 👍 Enjoy them all.

    I do more than I used to, but as I work with computers I risk scratching my watches so it's good to have Casios etc

    I didn't see any point in removing the stickers TBH and they've really helped to protect the watch. I'm a bit OCD like that and quite well known for looking after my things.

    I don't know what Rolex use for glue but I quite often leave some of the stickers on, and in the past, I've been swimming in the sea and all sorts with no signs of them pealing off.

    Lovely collection, that deepsea is something else. Not really a fan of the two tone, but as per your comment, I might take a further look

    Some nice new additions there mate.
    I reckon a RubberB for the D-Blue and you've got a smashing summer watch.
    I reckon you need a 36mm GMT watch in that lot ;)

    As much as the new Rolex's look as lovely as they do that Heuer just has so much character and really jumps out from your collection.

    Great collection, I'd happily wear most of them and understand the sentimentality with the swatch. Your most important pieces don't have to be the "best" in terms of capability and quality.

    A nice collection you have there Wayne.
    How old is that Daytona?
    No Omega in your collection. I thought you had a Tintin?

    Not a Rolex fan then? ;)

    Nice set - the Heuer is my favourite.

    Seeing the DeepBlue and SD50 together, the new SD looks much better proportioned imo.
