I thought you were referring to the tattoo tillI reached the last line:-)
On a serious note, you have been through some seriously good ones!
Well, they'll do to get started...
Some very nice items there.
I know it's a bit Marmitey but I do like the Steinhart Triton.
Coincidentally, I was just looking at the similar collage I made last year. To many (particularly the sports Rolex) I regret selling!
Is that all??
Some very nice pieces there.
Cheers,
Neil.
You've got something to show for the time.
Imagine you had a drank it all!
Not often you see an Obris Morgan watch these days. Some lovely pieces in your album.
What about the SBIII I sold you about eleven years ago?
I'm obviously out of step here.
Over the last twenty-one years I have bought only sixteen watches -- of which I still own fifteen
Not a bad attempt
My flipping days a long gone, fortunately, but this is still a tad embarrassing
For a second I thought it's your current collection. That would be sick. But getting and flipping the majority of it to try others during all those years is more of a rather exciting horological journey.

No. You only have a problem if you've kept them all....

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Stowa Seatime.
Bought online after a really good experience with one of their Fliegers (which I still own). It never felt right on my wrist, clunky, heavy, and sharp edged. So sold it on forum. The new owner tried it on before paying -- and is still happy.
Learning experience. I now don't buy pieces I haven't had on my wrist.
OP, I concur :-)
If only I knew 54 years ago and took the photos to prove it, what a crazy and costly this passion of ours would be!
Instead I should have spent it on property,,,,,apart from the Patek's especially their Sport models!!!!!
That’s very impressive indeed! I’ve got the buying part down. The selling not so much unfortunately.
I am in Griswold’s camp
It’s only a problem if you have kept most of them.
I knew I had a problem when I had to buy a second safe.
Some nice examples shown
Ploprof being the stand out for me.
I keep a spreadsheet now. Highlights:
- nine years collecting
- 243 watches owned
- 65 different makers
- average of 26 watches per year
- maker most owned: Seiko (39)
- second most owned: Orient (15)
- nation most represented: Japan (94), then Switzerland (63)
- single watch most owned: Seiko SKX0## (6)
- watch series most owned: Speedmaster (9)
FFS.
Bit of an Orange theme just about weaving though there, I see.
And a couple of bold (bonkers) pieces!
I could never have tried and enjoyed as many as I have without moving some along.
Better to have loved, and lost…
But wow, it is great - and tough - to look back and see what has gone.
Embarrassingly, I would have the same watch appear more than once. More than twice for some!
LTF - my word! I have always taken interest in your posts and purchases. You have great taste (most of the time!), and some of those that you have flipped would maybe make me wince a bit at having let go.
