Wow, great collection, thanks for sharing! Love the JLC 8 day...
A few have come and gone during the last twelve months...to leave this lot:
Those that have arrived during the year:
I searched a long time for an untouched maxi dial 5513...and then two crackers came along more or less at the same time:
I also searched long and hard for the perfect 1016 & found this one in the most wonderful place...
A pre Daytona to add to the Daytona collection...
The perfect Great White 1665, untouched with the most fantastic patina...
This old Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox came via a part-ex deal (thank you Vince)...
And my first vintage Heuer...
And the rest have been with me all year long...
Firstly the GMTs...an old '65 gilt dial 1675, a 1970 1675 and a 1980 16750...
The other 5513, a ghostly 1968 metres first (in the foreground in the pic with the two maxi's)...
A straight hand 1655 from 1972...
A 1983 transitional 16800...
A 1970 Red Sub...
Another lovely old Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox...
A gorgeous Jaeger LeCoultre 8 Day Perpetual Calendar...
Two old Breitling chronographs...an 806 Navitimer and an 815...
And finally, a few Daytonas...
Zenith black and white...
The 6263 Daytona is the watch I always aspired to have, from the day that I first became interested in watches...I am very lucky to now own three beautiful examples. These are the three watches in the collection that I wear the most..
I've missed a couple of modern ones (16710 and 16610), but there's probably enough pictures above already!
Happy Christmas to TZ'ers everywhere.

Wow indeed - Some lovely subs there!!!
I bet you are proud of that lot. Thanks for sharing and Happy Christmas
Great collection. It must have taken some going to get all those pieces.
Fantastic collection there John, but I reckon you have too many 5513's and Ghost's... You should get rid of one!👀👍👂
Someone likes vintage.
The Daytona looks stunning.....

Confucious says it's really bad Karma to be so attached to worldly possesions. I can relieve you of some of that Karma, particularly in the shape of a no date Memovox, a 1016 and a pre-Daytona.... anytime you like!
Love the colour of the hour markers and hands on the 1665
Incredible and aspirational collection there John!
Absolutely speechless! Not just the quality but the sheer quantity, amazing! Congratulations on an amazing collection.
Amazing, incredible collection. Looks like a dream come true!

I started this year with the goal of not buying any watches and I've made it this far.
Great collection and absolute stunners John especially the 1665 and 1016 ,but I tell you what really caught my eye the Heuer Carrera looks great
BTW the Daytonas aren't too shabby either !!
Take it easy

Can't help but feel a little bit sorry for the OP.
He can't afford any of the new watches. All he can buy are pre-owned watches. Poor guy...
Congratulations on a stunning collection. Thanks for sharing with some quality photos.

What a great collection, really shows me that I need to start adding some vintage character.
Absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing, gives us all something to aspire to, wonderful!
That collection is simply amazing and probably the best collective I have seen so far. Now where's my lottery ticket. And for god's sake please keep that lot secure, the world is a dangerous place these days. Have a great Xmas. Kev
