Very nice collection.
I realised today that numbers have crept up, as opposed to going down. Same old story, but it enabled me to recover a couple of lost (Tuna) loves that I'd really missed since allowing them to be moved on. Anyway, here's a quick run-down of the collection as it stands today... the GO is on SC right now but I think I'm about to withdraw it. Anyway, it's a nice mix of old and new, including a couple of birth year watches from 1960 which I'm rather fond of, as well as the very hard to get BP and GS. I really do love the vintage Tuna though. Oh, and the 5513 and 806 (and the...)
Not sure how I'll ever get the number down, to be honest.

Flog the rest and live happily ever after.
Lovely collection and amazing shots!!
That Mil-Spec is very special indeed. Nice collection.
I always enjoy your SOTCs and the photography. What a great and nicely varied bunch!
Very nice Tony. The collection stalwarts are my favourites, of course.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying life ‘up North’.
Great to see such a varied collection and beautifully photographed. Lucky man.
Lovely watches and even better pics! Well done sir.
Sent you a link that may tell you if you are addicted to watches...

Dare I say it Tony, but your collection is looking quite "stable". Maybe you are getting close to horological happiness.
Great collection and stunning pictures

They're all fantastic but I still feel a GW-5000 should be in there ;)

Great photos btw, this is how a sotc should be done
Chuck a G-shock in there and you've a watch for every occasion / use. The JLC is the stand out for me
Weren’t you trying to get to 6 Tony?!
BP and 5513 for me, and that 666 looks cracking on the lizard.
Hope you’ve been enjoying the bike, the G&D thread feels too epic for me to catch up on!

That's not such a bad number Tony. A great collection.
Personally I would dump the Aerospace (really, what is the point of it, you have a phone for accurate time and a light), the vintage Navitimer (you've other classy vintage and it just looks manky) the Grand Seiko (it's vanilla and you have other light dials), and you'll be in a great place IMO.
Maybe also the Daytona. When wouldn't one of the others be a more subtle or classy alternative?
Happy to help! ;)
I'm not talking to you, and you know why.
Great collection mate.
There are so many great watches there that I would struggle to pick out one.
Superb photography as others have said.

Glad to see you still have the 5513 Tony, it’s truly magnificent.
Lovely Tony. Nice variety and mix. I think one too many Rolex, but not sure which one I'd let go. All would be incredibly tough to replace. Best to just enjoy this collection!
That’s a lovely collection.

Very nice. Any purchasing goals or are you done (again)
Lovely collection mate... though the 5513 always does it for me.
Great photography as ever. :)
Thanks very much, all.
Re the Aerospace... it's a bloody fantastic watch and I wear it often. Mind you, i have another couple of grab & go's now, so maybe it'll get slightly less wrist time going forward. Also agree about the 5513, but I certainly don't feel that I have too many Rolex as for the most part they offer a good bit of variety. I would jump at the chance of adding the ceramic GMT and/or Daytona too, if I could avoid paying stupid money for them.
Some of these have been with me for many years now, as my flipping days are long gone... I do still like to tinker around the edges, though. As for being done, it’s really just the two ceramics mentioned above that I’m really after but I’m not sure that’s going to happen. I’d probably switch from the 16600 to a 666 too, although I missed a nice one the other day and they don’t tend to appear that often.
PS Sorry, Jon
You've got all my bases covered and a couple to spare 🤘🏻

Always an entertaining SOTC from you Tony.
Love the 7549 and the 5513

What a fantastic collection! Love the 5513, not keen on the Navitimer. That shot of the Pam makes me want to try one...
A stunning well thought out collection there Tony.
That’s a collection that you never get bored of, absolutely love it

Fantastic variation in your collection with every one being a stunner.
Far too many watches for you there Tony ;p)
It's just a matter of time...
Fantastic pics! Great collection.
I thought the Aerospace has gone?
What a fantastic collection! As for the photography; stunning.

As always, very nice, and covered by your usual stunning photos!
What a great bunch, with lots of variation. I’d love to have such a choice every morning.

The standout for me is the TT Daytona, which is strange given some of the other beauties! Think I’m getting a bug 🥴

Still the VC for me, as it was I think when you were moving a few of these on. Or not.
Great collection Tony, got it all covered there. When did you let go on the Aquanaut?
Lovely collection.
Fantastic group and lovely pics as usual.
There is really little else to say. BP Milspec remains my favorite from this group👍
Lovely selection there Tony, the BP (surprise !) does it for me, every time
Cheers, Peter
Some great watches, but what I really like is that it's quite an eclectic mix.
On a far more modest scale, I aim for the same... Well less aim for than meander towards .
Lovely photographs too.
Thanks for sharing them.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Very nice, both the variety as well as the condition of the vintage watches. One of the nicest collections around.
