I thought it fun to post a collage of watches that have passed through my collection over time. Maybe others record theirs and would like to share? Sadly this is not all that have been with me but it does cover the majority.
No prizes in identifying them all - but have a go.

Some overlap and no particular time order.

My lot. Think I’ve missed one or two, reminds me of a few regrets

Some stunning watches you have owned there - but which one hurts the most, the biggest regret..Quote:

See if you can spot a theme in this half dozen

OP I think your Air King Date is my favourite and which you have mentioned before. I think this one deserves more photos.
The Pepsi was initially just to keep me going until I manage to upgrade the 5167 to a 5164, however that’s looking unlikely and the Pepsi has barely left my wrist - love it so far.Quote:

Maybe I will try the James Cameron Deepsea!
I’ll see what I can do :unconscious:Quote:

Love the Junghans (as I have one), the Longiness and the bottom centre! :)Quote:

Weirdly one of the best pictures of your old watches above is the Aqua Terra. Shame it's gone, although with the currently selection I can see why you don't have it anymore. I would definitely try the D-Blue, especially the current version with the better proportioned bracelet.Quote:

Apart from that gripe - this is another classic example of how Omega have messed around with their designs just for the sake of it and made things worse rather then a nice tweak. If I remember rightly at the time I replaced it with the Explorer which wore much nicer on my wrist.Quote:

Mine are here. It hurts too much to look.
I actually thought there might be more !Quote:

At least the Mil Spec is still with you (and maybe a 5513?). Not as many MM300s as I might have thought. :smug: [You have a few duplicates in there - just not at the same time I assume, a la Scott.]
Not surprised! Better to have loved and lost though [emoji6]Sent from my SM-G960F using TZ-UK mobile appQuote:

I don't find that at all with mine, but my other regular wear watch is an SD43 so that may go someway to explain it.Quote:

So what's left today in the collection??
Gosh. It is interesting to see how much change there can be in a collection. My buying is more of a one way function.
Best wishes,
Bob
Thanks, it was quite a journey! Yes the 5712G is a tricky dial to read but can look amazing in the right light though. I have kept my highlights including the Rolex YG Day-Date 40 and Rolex YG Daytona black dial for my wife. I also have a few of the Steel Rolex which are always great watches. I sold the Nautilus 5712/1A to a friend at retail as he wanted it SO much and I could not really justify keeping it due to a big house purchase. But he sends me photos all the time so I still get to enjoy it, such an amazing watch. The Offshore AP no longer are to my taste and so they are gone.Quote:
