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.

Always heartening to see someone living in more chaos than I am!
Not a clue what any of those are....
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.
Wow. You really need a watch box...
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?
I see that too. And a Seiko pepsi diver of some description, along with a vintage Omega on a light brown strap and maybe a Wakmann chronograph.Originally Posted by Lampoc
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.
They're also too close to electronics for my liking.
I didn't think I looked after my watches particularly well until I saw this.
Terrible way to treat your watches IMO. They are your watches so good luck to you.

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 :-)
Not Newmark; CWC, though with my powers of photography you did well recognising that it was a chrono!
All tidied away now. Calm has returned.
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!
