I must say that I'm particularly fond of the 806 (which needs a new strap) and the 5513, although I wear all of them regularly and get a lot of pleasure from each of them.
I had 17 watches not that long ago and am much more comfortable with a smaller and more manageable collection (that said, I do have a little package on the way). Anyway, I hope you like the pack-shot

Looks like you've got most of the bases covered Tony - very nice!
What's on the way?
Very classy line up, what more would any reasonable person need... that counts everyone here out then!

Very nice line up T.
You shouldn't have let the 11630 Autavia GMT go though IMHO.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Yes, the Sinn's lovely. I'm not sure I could sell any of them, so I may be safe!Some cracking watches there Tony...i do especially like the Sinn.

Well, I'm trying a full-lume damasko (which if I like I'll keep and if I don't I'll flip) and I picked up a CWC quartz diver as a beater.
Nail, head (unfortunately).
Cheers, Andy. The Autavia GMT was just too minty - my vintage watches now all have slight signs of wear, which I prefer - as I'm not scared to wear them!
Always like looking through your SOTC pics, Tony.
Also surprised to see the Autavia GMT not there
Well, as I said to Andy above it's all very well having possibly the world's nicest Autavia GMT in the watch box, but if you're scared to wear it then it just becomes a trophy. Hopefully Ed's doing it justice now.Always like looking through your SOTC pics, Tony.

Oh yes he should
It's gone to a good homeAlways like looking through your SOTC pics, Tony.

Very nice collection! :)
Snigger ;)
A great selection of watches Tony. Nice bit of diversity. IMO definitely a WIS collection.
Tell you what - here's a debateable observation/opinion. Looking at what you have, from my perspective you could dump the Speedy and Navi (I know they're classics, but .....) and I think you've got just as nice a range/selection - but fewer watches cluttering up the place. Is it the classic status and heritage that's influencing this or are they really something that would be chosen to wear over any of your others?
All up for debate.
All very nice Tony, think the JLC really does it for me most, probably closely followed by the Speedy

Heretic at large LOL! Now where is the smilie of me walking away with my head hung in shameOnly a man who isn't into vintage could even contemplate making that suggestion, Alun. Aside from that, they're two of my favourites, and two of the all-time greatest chronographs.
Shame on you
Will this do ?
Indeed, IMO, you could dump all the others and keep those and have everything you needOnly a man who isn't into vintage could even contemplate making that suggestion, Alun. Aside from that, they're two of my favourites, and two of the all-time greatest chronographs.
Shame on you

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
The JLC calendar is my own particular favourite there but I :miss: your WG Daytona which was rather loverly
Regards TT
That did make me chuckle, because you're spot on - it really is all subjective, and they are indeed classics - I would hasten to add that if one had those two a G Shock would still be required ;) - Speaking of G shocks, Tony... you've short changed us, this isn't your entire collection is it?Indeed, IMO, you could dump all the others and keep those and have everything you need

Tony, a veritable cornucopia of horological niceness that is!!
However, based on the current set, which one gets the most air time these days?

A stunning collection of horology's finest, beautifully presented with a large helping of photographic genius.
I feel spoiled
Well, ask nicely...

Probably the 5513 and JLC Chrono, David.
You're such a schmoozer.A stunning collection of horology's finest, beautifully presented with a large helping of photographic genius.

Nice varitey.
Best set for a while that mate and although the odds are somewhat lower than they've been in the past, I've still put a tenner each way on a couple of changes before the year end.
Hmmm... well, the PAM is slightly more vulnerable than the others but now I've put it back on its black alligator strap I'm loving it again. Everything else is pretty safe, so you may have to put your hand in your pocket for once
Tony, a fantastic collection and a hard task reducing the collection down I guess. Will it look the same in 2014? And
That Sinn will be out the door soon i bet.
Lovely watches, i love the Glashutte, its sooo much better in the metal too. I am properly envious of that one.
Excellent collection and photos as always Tony,
Col.
Really nice collection
They're all lovely Tony! The Ed White for me is my favourite and is almost perfect, that fact that it's yours and not mine is it's only flaw!

I love the blue hands on the Reverso, I'm sure I would spend all day staring at them if I had a classic Reverso...
The dial and handset on the 806 looks sublime also.
Nice bunch! Well done!
You, sir, have exceptional taste.
Regards,
Adam
A gorgeous collection Tony, nice and balanced with a bit of everything:-)
Very nice SOTC Tony.... I do like that 806, been dribbling over the one on SC!
As ever very nice. There again, whenever you do a SOC, I am always so impressed.
Speedy for me although it would be the 5513 if the lime was creamier, looks very very white!

Haven't I got enough of your cast offs???
