Nice idea.
This week has put this hobby firmly into perspective but I still hammer the forum to escape the depressing news
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Slightly more considered picture
Stay well all

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

Here's my collection atm. I have an Explorer as well but my photo collage app can't handle 5 pics.

Here is my (very modest) collection.

Terrible lighting, but here you go. The Moser Heritage isn’t as small as it looks here - these are all roughly the same 42mm size...

Would love to see more of that Moser!
Maybe it's just because they stand out and so I'm noticing them more but it's great to see so many mk1 orange Monsters in the thread!
I so regret having got rid of mine. I bought it new in 2008 but sold it to a mate for £100 when the 'Superior' version came out. I thought I'd prefer the Superior due to the 4R36 movement with hacking and manual wind but the dial never looked as good as the original IMO. Then to cap it all, my mate recently sold the original Monster for £230 on ebay.
Here’s some of mine

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.
The Timor reissue looks most impressive and I almost regret not backing it via Kickstarter. I looked at that Serica model a few times. It was only the screw down crown on a manual watch factor that put me off. That’s a cracking two watch collection you’ll have soon enough. Meanwhile I keep checking out CWC’s latest issues. The new manual wind model looks good value for £449.
I really Like that CWC Mellor-72 mechanical with the Sellita SW210 movement. Those Sellita movements are real good, had one in the Christopher Ward C65 diver and it ran within +2 seconds a day. As far as the screw down crown on the Serica, I had the same question and after a little research I decided to go for it and I don't regret it for a second. The crown on this watch threads in and out like butter, yeah it is that satisfying. I had a Hamilton Khaki and with a push/pull crown I would wind my watch twice a day but with the Serica I wind it once a day just because I do have to unscrew and screw it in so I figure I would leave it to once a day.
I am glad that I backed the Timor on Kickstarter and I got the Super Early bird, and I chose the manual wound Sellita SW216.
2 Seikos, 2 Citizens, 2 Casios (one not in the photo).
I guess I’d call this my modern SOTC as they are all under 5 years old. I have a few older watches as well. My first big watch purchase, an Omega Seamaster and a lovely Zenith acquired from Tony (LTF).
The Bathys and Aevig were both gifts so are safe but of the others the only thing I’d change is to swap the CWC for a Tuna I think.
Pretty content to be honest and I’m surprised how much I like the digi tuna

Future plans
Not really looking to move anything. Could let the Stowa marine go maybe, almost did two weeks ago. Not sure yet on that one. It’s a lovely watch and not a big €€€€ value percentage of the overall collection but it really punches above its weight and gets a lot of wrist time. The only manual wind piece also.
The VC gets very little wrist time (only one on bracelet...); could let it go but it is irreplaceable as they are difficult to get (sadly that doesn’t mean they are appreciating to a fortune...hard to get and in low demand!).
Wish list is an ALS. A three hander from the Saxonia range or else an uncomplicated 1815.
My small Swiss army and the Guardian :)
