    State of the collection.........................

    Not entirely sure if I’ve done one of the before but here it is as it stands today

    2001 Seadweller 16600



    1989 Sub date 16610



    1969 Bellmatic



    1979 6309



    Dads old Tissot, about 25 years old, quartz but a nice little thing



    Zenith Rainbow Flyback Chronograph, just back from full service and refurb



    Omega Speedmaster X33 Gen II



    Bulova Moonwatch



    Bulova Spaceview 1972



    Omega Speedmaster new this year and never worn, don’t ask.



    So what’s missing, well I have a space in the box earmarked for a nice dress watch. A Grande reverso would be ideal but anything interesting really, will just have to keep looking.

    Very nice collection of watches, and similar to my own tastes in the main.

    Not sure about dress watches, but when I want something "formal", I go vintage.

    Nice, varied group of watches; and I'm all in favour of more 'dress watches' to balance out the hordes of macho watches on the forum. A JLC Reverso has to be a classic.
    Incidentally, the less sporty, more 'classic' watches are often the true bargains on SC.

    A lovely selection of watches you have there!

    Nice collection. Huge fan of the sea dweller - I toyed with swapping my GMT for one a few years back but ended up with a 1998 Submariner which I also love.

    I would see myself adding something like a glashutte or IWC into that collection. Not a pure dress watch but classy enough to set itself apart from the utility of a dive watch.

    Something with a moon phase would also be a nice addition

    Very nice Ben. That Tissot's a lovely thing - I'd be looking for something other than a Reverso to tick the dress watch box. Too similar.

    What about a Polerouter?
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Very nice work, Ben. I reckon the Master Geographic on SC would slot in rather nicely, and fill your dressy watch void.

    That went ages ago in pursuit of something else Ralph, much to Sals disgust. Understandably considering the underhand tactics you and Sal went to to get it back to me.

    You have a good eye Tony, actually I have owned that version of the Geographic before, around 8-10 years if I recall correctly.

    Fantastic watch, great complication, great maker, nice size in fact there is very little to dislike about it. It’s only the fact that I have owned one before that puts me off sending the seller a PM.

    What a dial

    Really nice collection you have there, the highlight for me is certainly the Zenith Rainbow. Your fathers Tissot is a lovely little thing too, has a bit of a Reverso look to it.

    Beautiful collection sir. Love the Sub and SD. That Zenith is a treat as well - love the colours. Always loved a yachtingraf myself so this tugs at my heart strings

    I've seen your collection change over the years Ben, but you have a lovely varied collection of classics, both modern and vintage.
