Very nice.....that could almost be my perfect 3wc.Originally Posted by leo1790
State of mine, there are others but I'm slowly getting rid of them and holding out for a GO Seventies Chrono

Ah nice, the Wolf watch rolls looked really good.
For traveling with watches I'd probably use the Wolf roll to be honest, as I wouldn't be expecting any big knocks. The Peli is going to be far more robust protection, so I like it for storage.
Not much change for some years now; in order of acquisition. (I have only ever sold one watch which was a Dornblüth to LTF on here and even that was a while ago.)
Rolex Day Date WG
Rolex Oysterquartz
JLC Master Tourbillon
JLC Duomètre Quantième Lunaire
Patek 3940R
ALS 1815 Chronograph
Atmos clock
GS GMT
GS High Beat
Voutilainen Vingt 8
OK, here's my SOTC for 2020, not much change from '19, but 4 additions, PRS-45, Douglas, Hamilton & B&M.
So,
Tudor Heritage chrono',
Tudor BB chrono',
Baume & Mercier Capeland chrono',
Breitling SuperOcean 44,
Breitling Chronospace,
Bremont Alt1P,
Glycine Airman 9 GMT chrono',
Fortis B42 Official Cosmonauts chrono',
Ball Engineer,
Steinhart Vintage Ocean GMT,
Tutima Grand Flieger 80th anni chrono'/Douglas(Wolbrook) skindiver world timer,
Hamilton Pilot GMT,
Precista PRS-45 Aerotimer.
I'm supposed to be receiving a package today from DHL a day early which contains a Bulova A-15 Pilot.
As you can see I do like my chronograph/GMT complications.
Since buying the Douglas from SC it has had very little wear, mainly due to size, I just can't get on with 40mm, too small for my taste. So that will probably find its way back to SC in the next week
or two.
Other than that, still very happy with the collection & apologies for the rubbish photo.
Cheers.
So here’s my current crop of watches. The Rolex GMT, Tudor GMT and the Zenith Chronograph came this year. An IWC pilot chronograph, Longines Legend Diver and Oris BC3 departed.
For the coming year I’m struggling to see what could improve my current collection. Maybe a Rolex Explorer 39mm could be an every day watch, with the Breitling Superocean leaving.....we’ll see how 2021 pans out !

No significant incomings this year as quite settled with what I've got, so much that I finally managed to sell a few. Would still like to reduce the numbers but in no rush to do so until something really catches my eye.
Looking through all the SOTCs on here, it's especially nice to see those with variety and that the vast majority are clearly purchased primarily for their inherent appeal rather than for investment or Instagram purposes (not that either is necessarily a bad thing!).

Take a good look at Blancpain - there really should be a top 'quartet', not just 'trilogy' ....
I have had AP Royal Oak 14790 and the 15300, VC Overseas 42042 and 47040 - and would choose BP any day.
Amazing stuff !
That's a cracking collection, miss seeing any Blancpains though .....Very fortunate to pick up a couple of unexpected watches this year. My first attempt at using a light box which then blew out so it’s gone back.
Super collection - nice variety.
My Omega collection has been made a bit slimmer this year (excuse the interloper):
Nice collection there Dave, what’s number 5 ?No significant incomings this year as quite settled with what I've got, so much that I finally managed to sell a few. Would still like to reduce the numbers but in no rush to do so until something really catches my eye.

Cheers, most have come via SC so I'm grateful to the forum and members. It's a Fortis 'West in Space' Stratoliner, limited edition of 200. I bought it a few years back from Howard and it's the watch featured in this article. Don't wear it loads but it's one that always raises a smile when I do. https://monochrome-watches.com/colle...r-chronograph/

Completely different designs. Blancpain aesthetics have never appealed to me tbh.
How did I miss this post? Nearly peed my pants (sorry that's rather infantile) - what a super set!Very fortunate to pick up a couple of unexpected watches this year. My first attempt at using a light box which then blew out so it’s gone back.

@deepreddave - What did you use to create the photo montage please & would you recommend it? Thanks

Mine looks a bit Noddy after some of these but not all get worn regularly.
Also forgot I needed to correct the direction of the brains on the DW5600e

Andy, I used the free app below. Only used it a few times but it's simple, intuitive and does the job (there are a few ads as you go through the process but I just close them after a few secs ago not an issue).
Mmmmm Spork

Current state.
Plans for 2021 are to upgrade the Panerai to another Panerai and perhaps move on the Dreadnought.

Thank you! A few more spaces to fill in the box - I’m making a conscious decision to be a bit more creative in my choices, sometimes I feel everything I own is a bit ‘safe’.
First The Automatics.

Then the Quartzs
Maserati GMT | Dom Original oddity | Armani Exchange Chrono | Bulova Precisionist Longwood
There are a few other watches that are knocking about but those are either 'broken' or ones that I no longer wear.
I tend to buy watches for their aesthetic rather than practical qualities as I work from home at a desk most days so don't need 5000m of water resistant or a case that could hammer nails into concrete without a scratch. If I like the aesthetic though, those things aren't ruled out.
As you can tell I bias heavily towards Autos but am coming round to the benefits of quartz. I don't really plan to buy any more watches this year but do have a few 'for the right price' watches that I'll snap up if I see them.
Bit late to the party, but here’s mine.
Planet Ocean - bought new in 2005 in NYC during an unexpected overnight stay - cracking watch.
Speedmaster - birth year (81) bought from Italy about 10 yrs ago - just got back from service with Nesbit here in Seattle - hands had to be changed but I have the originals safely tucked away.
Timex Snoopy - love the look of the Q and the Snoopy quartz tipped me over the edge - great fun little grab and go watch.
GS Snowflake - bought early last year during a very last minute trip to Tokyo - I felt I deserved something to commemorate the trip so I figured what could be more apt than a GS. Beautiful watch I cannot stop looking at.
GMT Master II - again a last year purchase - great everywhere watch and very flexible with the black bezel.
Breitling SuperOcean - first proper watch, bought from Auckland in 2003 to celebrate passing my first professional licence. As my Dad said, ‘buy something nice now, as you’ll be married before long and have no money’.
Explorer II - great watch, I have enjoyed for about 6yrs now from new.
PloProf 1200 - crazy devisive watch, but one I had lusted over for a while. Funnily enough traded from a Panerai, another marmite brand for some.

I'd kill for a Ploprof, once saw some random guy wearing one and probably the only time I've been in awe at how cool somebody's watch looked.Bit late to the party, but here’s mine.
