Wow ok now that was an interesting dinner!! Was that his collection? Or was there more? Love it when we are to find others randomly that understand the passion we share for watches.

Just been round to some new neighbours in my village and found a proper watch nerd. Really interesting collection. Loads of unusual watches including full set of Dirty Dozen. Am persuading him to come on here to post his full collection.....which would be a lot of posts. Apologies for crappy pics. Love these unexpected events!

Now that is an eclectic collection. Heresy, but part of me regrets not buying that particular B&R a few years back

Hi There apparently I've been a member for a While!
Thanks for last night, we both really enjoyed.
I'll get posting some of my collection over the next week.
They indeed have do have a decent number of kids. If this is the same wife she is a fine one to talk as she sported a Rolex GMT as her daily watch and now wants to buy a GS high beat GMT after seeing mine. 😁
Oh and it is amazing what tax credits must be worth these days!

thanks for message, yes, I realize I will be deeper into my watch obsession. Can't wait.
Nice things to collect , but prices now climbing there was a big military watch sale in Glasgow this week and some stuff was selling for crazy prices , think a grana went for 4K hammer price

Love the Dirty Dozen collection! That's fired my enthusiasm... ;-)
Hodinkee article here: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/di...litary-watches
And here's my full set, plus an extra Longines & a NATO dialed Record
I don't think there'll be many but likely to be more than 20. Who knows who has a full set but keeps it to themselves? There were 15 known sets listed on the now defunct Time514 website. Mine wasn't on it & I don't think the set shown in the OP was either. The stumbling block is likely to be the Grana. Plus they're getting expensive. Plenty show up on eBay, but you've got to be careful & know what the correct dials, case, hands, crown etc. should be. Time514 was a super resource for this
(Sorry to derail the thread)
Edit: some of the Time514 reference site is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20170320...m/BritishX.htm
