    SOTC

    Hello everyone, its been a few years since my last confession. Here's is the half dozen I've ended up with.

    Not alot of movement in the collection, the general trend is towards smaller / simpler (time-only) every-day kind of pieces.



    Top row (from left);

    * Traveller / Fancy-one [16710]
    * Daily #1 [114300]
    * Daily #2 [114270]

    2nd row;

    * Sentimental / Dad's first watch from the 50s
    * Daily #3 / BB58 [79030N]
    * Beater / Eddie's finest

    Good effort - the GMT the standout for me.

    What a great collection. Some excellent choices there! Which of the daily ones gets the most time? For me that’s a tough one. I do love the Tudor though!

    Lovely. You have two of the watches I thought I would own before prices went mad. The GMT and the 36mm Explorer are kind of perfect watches I think.

    Currently pretty split even between the Explorer, OP39 (that silver/white dial is super) and BB58 (best modern 'sub' imho)

    Honestly I don't know :( It was in terrible shape when I recued it a few years back, had to be completely rebuilt. Still looking for the perfect strap for that one, suggestions welcome :)

    Yeah, I got them ~4years ago, for reasonable money at the time. Couldn't get them now

    I would get a nice thin black or brown strap, Im guessing but I think it will be 18 mm. I think they suit vintage watches very well.
