    This might be it, am I home now?

    Many many years with buying, selling, trying... etc. I think I've found the perfect tripple for me.

    So, what do you think??




    And no, I didn't scratch them.. I have a very gentle touch :)



    Cheers

    Don't be silly you have nothing on leather yet! 3 lovely pieces there that I would be very happy to own.

    I think the perfect trio for me would be the Corr's ... Starting with the fiddle player!

    Three very nice timepieces as nobody could deny. But there's very nice, and then there's......

    Only kidding! They're lovely. And kudos to you for knowing when you're satisfied.

    Lovely watches there's no denying, but they are all very similar to me. Not sure if you have others in your collection but my personal choice would be to vary it more. Just my opinion and yes they're all beautiful in their own right. My preference is the AP by a long shot

    Very nice indeed, but stacking three scratch magnets like that in the palm of your hand?

    Stunning trip and great variety tucked in there.

    Three fantastic watches. I like the point that they are in many ways similar. Which is your favourite?

    VCO 47040 kills the other two for me – although prefer the Deepstream version the most.
    As for lack of leather – that’s what AL&S/Moser/Minerva Villeret is for, if you can’t be bothered to swap the strap onto the Overseas!

    3 crackers but I think you have room for something more svelte and dressy, something gold and something v tooly....

    I'm with PJ S -- your trinity is absolutely gorgeous, and you can have your Lange on leather.

    Lovely trio, guess you have no use for a NATO strap.

    I'm sure this photo came up on my Instagram suggestions today! Beautiful watches and photo. That AP really appeals

    Fantastic three watches, well done!

    As others have said they might be a bit 'samey' but if that's the style of watch you like, why not? Not everyone's a wannabe diver.

    All 3 piled on top of each other does bother me I like the AP and PP but if I was ever in a position to own a trio like this the 3rd would be something else, maybe a dressy gold JLC..

    What an amazing trio. You could certainly stick at those. Personally I'd choose a gold watch in one of those, maybe swap one for a Patek Calatrava - ideally a perpetual calendar.

    Great Trio, really nice selection, thanks for posting.

    Pretty amazing.

    Thanks guys,

    I'm pretty sure this isn't the end, but for the first time I'm calm and feel at ease.

    And to answer some:
    Rolex, been there done that.. wouldn't be any room in the rotation right now.
    Gold, tried, several times.. maybe when I grow old, steel are more inline with my age :)
    IF I decide I need a watch on leather, it would be the JLC MUTPC with a white dial, but me and leather aint no friends :(

    This might be it, am I home now?

    And regarding they are all the same, just my style.
    Like having all blue shirts, wouldn't use a red even if I got one :)

    3 lovely pieces but are very much interchangeable IMO.

    Yes, you're done, perhaps you should start looking for a new hobby now! Though I know I would probably just end up wondering what dress watch on leather or beater to add, there's no escape in the end. Stunning trio anyway, I wonder which gets the most wear?

    Nautilus has seen most light, AP and VC second.
    To me Nautilus is the best watch ever when comes to feel on the wrist.

    I'd hate to be you when you realise that all 3 are too similar and you feel like you need to mix things up a bit. That will happen trust me. Nice pieces BTW, the VC is the most original out of the 3.

    That's the perfect trio for me. Genta and trinity goodness.

    Although to be difficult I'd probably switch the overseas for the overseas world time for some added and colour :)

    (Apologies for playing desert island disks with your watches )

    I bought those because they where similar. This is me, my style. Love every bit of them.

    The day I feel sick of them, I buy a Rolex Sub and change hobby :D

    Stunning pieces! At home? It depends on how you feel.
    If you are content with them and you don't consider adding other watches to this fantastic collection - then you are at home!

    Which one is the 'beater'? ;)

    Right now I feel at home, warm and nice here :)

    Overseas act as a beater, much better wr and way more scratch resistant.. and a bit sturdier compare to the other two primadonnas :)

    Good on you!

    I'd happily wear any of them - thats one of the few PP "sports" models ld want, though the AP would be my favourite. - you're fortunate enough to have all three.
