Always heartening to see someone living in more chaos than I am!
Not a clue what any of those are....
My wife says that I am untidy.....
The terminally bored may like to spend a while trying to identify some of these. There are rarities, but not much valuablities.

Wow. You really need a watch box...
Unc,
I'm looking at your photo on an iPhone 5, at a wild guess there's a Damasko in there but otherwise I haven't a scooby!

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Ha! No Damasko!
You may have spotted my Archimede bronze flieger.
Pic is really low res. I see a Pepsi bezel (Seiko) and to the left a watch with a blue sticker on the crystal??
Also a Microsoft keyboard? And some watch boxes, more watches in there?

All those watches on top of each other!
That picture makes my teeth itch.
Best SOTC ever. Is that Bulova Moonwatch I see?
Terrible way to treat your watches IMO. They are your watches so good luck to you.

I'm with your wife, that really needs tiding up
Some top spotting going on here.
I have been a tad disingenuous; this was an emergency watch drawer sort-out. I will see if I can take a higher-res, more-in-focus shot before I return them to their lair.
Well I can make out the CWC '70's chrono remake, and a Bulova Moonwatch or what ever they call them now. Looks like a Breitling 70's Chronomat near the top there?
To think I bought my last watch from you!
I suppose it could be worse, you could have found it in an old car.
Here you go guys - hopefully a link to a better image.
Good spot with the vintage Omega - possibly a re-cased 1917 pocket watch movement.

Edited to say : hmm, not much better. I think I'll give up and put them away now.

Only one I can guess at is a vintage Breitling chrono of some sort over to the right
Top spot DANH. It's a twinjet Navitimer; is it a 0816? Reputedly a giant-size Navitimer for airline pilots with poor eyesight.

Is there a Glycine Combat 6 Classic buried in the first pic?
And is that a GWS chrono right-centre in the second one? Love mine - gorgeous little thing!
I can see a Speedmaster, Bulova moon watch, Seiko at the bottom. Is that a Newmark on the left on a black strap with rivets? There's a Fortis...
What a mess of a collection. Some nice watches though :-)
All I can identify with 100% certainty is a Timefactors Aviator strap, but maybe I had an unfair advantage.
Yeah, many thanks for that TomGW. Doesn't it suit the watch!
What’s the panda dial scratching bezels with the speedmaster? I can bear to look at that photo any longer...
That's the 0816 navitimer I mentioned earlier, Matt.
It's a "Giant Panda" - 46mmish exc. crowns. And it's a "cuegle" panda - 3 sub dials.
I'm glad you asked. I have just spotted some potentially interesting caseback engraving. I may dig out the light tent and try to capture it for further comment.
I can make out " DDE .BR + 11525/67"; also "1347755" ; but there is a hatched-out rectangle that may warrant further esploration. Trouble is, it's all a bit worn. The watch itself is delightfully wabi'd, which is what attracted me to it when I bought it from SC.

Thanks unc, would be too big for me unfortunately. I meant can’t btw, 2 watches rubbing bezels is painful to look at!
I know what you mean, but it was only for a brief period, and they are now all at least 2 metres apart.
Light blue touch paper and stand well back
The explanation of a watch drawer tidy makes it look a lot less dramatic than first sight!
Then again some people are extremely sensitive to any marks at all on a watch, so I can imagine it sets some OCD into overdrive!
