Hi all,
I think it’s fair to say that most of us have a bit more time at home than we normally have. In light of this, I’m hoping that we all might be able to pull together a state of the collection post. Not only is it a great opportunity to spend some time with your watches, it brings us all a much needed distraction from the drudge of remote working and the distressing news from around the world.
So please, share away.
Yours hopefully
TPT
Nice idea.
This week has put this hobby firmly into perspective but I still hammer the forum to escape the depressing news
That’s one hell of a collection - very nice indeed. You’re right, it’s a ridiculous and frivolous hobby in many ways, but we need to take our pleasures where we can.

Still close to my ideal, and would be in my 10 watches or less collection. Love it!Nice idea.

It's just a matter of time...
This is such a funny hobby. Whilst they are lovely, I wouldn’t buy any of them! (Presuming I could afford to. Which of course I cannot!)
No pictures and barely a collection at all: A CWC RN diver non-date (quartz), Omega FOIS and just ordered a Precista PRS-82 last Sunday. I prefer non-date watches. Plus 3 G Shocks, but they don’t count.
I am with you seabiscuit. I don't have a picture of my one watch collection at the moment. The moment being no picture and I only have one watch but will be adding the Timor Heritage Field Watch that isn't due out until November, but that is good with all this chaos going on in the world. The one watch I do have is a Serica WWW WMB edition which is a hand wound movement and no date because that is how I roll.
*posts pic, drops mic*Nice idea.

Thanks. I go through phases but try and rotate as much as poss.
Very happy with this lot after consolidation and getting a lot of luck with the PPs.
I would still like to do one final swap out if I ever get the opportunity - either change the 5167 for a 5164 or the 5711 for a 5712 (but I’m not complaining!!)
Haven't done an SOTC for a while so seems like a good use of some time!
First are some everyday/sports ones:

There are also a few watches I have inherited but are not with me at present hence no pictures. Fairly happy with things as they are at present but do miss a GMT a bit so may swap something for one of those depending on how things pan out!
OMG! Talk about nailing it.Nice idea.

Quick and dirty, this is the core of it right now. There are a few oddballs and outliers in another box but these are the ten I count.

That Hamilton looks amazing...what model/reference please!

Thanks!
It's the Hamilton Intra-matic H38755381, with fume dial. No anti-reflective coating on the crystal, together with the curved dial and colouring of it make it ridiculously difficult to photograph.
Stolen from Fratello:
Nice thread idea. Can’t find a pic of mine all together and don’t have much spare time at present to sort one as am NHS frontline so it’s busy busy! But here they are in collage

Q&D before bed. The Aerospace NM is off with Breitling hence the empty cushion, and there are a couple of G Shocks too.

Pretty much settled on these 10. Which 4 are keepers. Would love to add a Speedy 57 Trilogy but that will have to wait.

A quick collage is best I can do without a (non-essential) drive....

I would be 100% content with that lot :)
Here's part of mine....

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Fantastic collection

Sorry for the poor quality photo but this is my offering, a collection I’m very happy with:-)

An impressive bunch and great photos Tony. All great watches in their own right, especially attracted to the GS, but you have to love how that Rainbow pops. I used to have the all black version, but they got the colours just right on that one.Oooh, some nice watches on this thread! This is mine, having just seen one go over the past 48 hours...
Beautiful pics of amazing watches, thanks for sharingOooh, some nice watches on this thread! This is mine, having just seen one go over the past 48 hours...
Tony, If I ever need to get my dating app photos redone, would you mind if I asked you to do them as you certainly have a knack for this stuff
lovely watches captured beautifully
Beautiful watches and stunning photography as usual, Tony.Oooh, some nice watches on this thread! This is mine, having just seen one go over the past 48 hours...

That Seiko collection of Martin's is astonishing! Quite a few watches there I'd very happily own.

Just these three at the moment:

That’s the smallest watch photo I’ve ever seen! Could I ask what the chrono, second from the left, is?
56 mins until total lockdown....but I still have to go to work so no time off for me.

Great idea and a useful distraction. Some lovely watches here already. I wish my photography skills were better but is the best I could do with my iPhone.
Every time I think I have too many watches I spend some time on here and realise I am an amateur!
First time posting a picture so sorry if it does not work.

Amen Brother. I have one watch at the moment so it gets a lot of wrist time. I have come to realize that I prefer a much smaller approach to the hobby and that is alright. Just feel less stress if you know what I mean.
Slightly more considered picture
Stay well all

Great idea for a thread. Here are the ones I currently have out:
Bit of an eclectic mix really but I like them all.
Some lovely watches on this thread. Nothing has changed in mine for a while
