Ooof that red sub is spectacular. Love the Autavia GMT as well.
Lovely collection.
Not done an SOTC for a while, so here's the current collection.
This is about my 4th G-Shock - finally got one that's not too big
My first Zenith, picked up last year & I love it
Reacquired this from the person who bought it off me 9 years previously
Took me a while to track one of these down in the right condition, for the right price
Probably the last watch I'd sell - The 16600 is just perfect
Quite a rare version of the FF. A much better size for me than the regular version, although 42mm would be even better.
I only have the PRS18 auto (on the left). The COSC Quartz version got almost no wear
Another requisition
This was a cheapy & has served me really well as my holiday watch including the epic motorcycle tour of Vietnam I did with my eldest son in 2018
I had a few of the re-edittion Turtles, but this one has stuck
I'd been without a Speedy Pro in the collection for several years before picking this mint condition one up
This was a slightly over-list replacement for one I (foolishly) sold a couple of years earlier
I've had this little gem for a while. The dial and hands are just beautiful.
I'm a big Sinn fan - had all these a few years now
Just about the last watch IWC made that I really like
The Autavia's
The perfect (for me) version of the Orfina PD chrono
I paid strong money for this at the time, but that's irrelevant now. It's a full collectors set including case back stickers & the original purchase receipt.
The only watch I've ever had made for me
A lovely un-restored 6309 - 7040
Three I keep for sentimental reasons
I've just sold a Seiko Samurai & have a blue dialled Sinn U1 on the way.
These days I try to keep to one in / one out, but deciding which to let go gets harder all the time.

Lovely collection.
Wonderful collection bought fully to life by lovely crisp photography.
The Red Sub made me go a bit wobbly and the EZM 1 is fabulous as well!
Outstanding and diverse collection Andy. Love the casual smatter of 4 cracking Autavias just laying there! The EZM is delightful and indeed most thought you mad buying the red sub, irrelevant now and great foresight ;)
I never thought much of the 6309 7040 but, from that angle it looks great
As ever, a stunning array of the very highest quality tool watches - no one does it better than you - many congratulations. And if you ever think of letting the Aquatimer go, I’d be very happy to give it a good home.
Lovely collection, Andy.
What gets the most wrist time?
Nice collection and yes the Red Sub is a stunner, but I'll pass a comment on the G-Shock which I think is one of the nicest with the positive display and a bit of Blue and Red. Doesn't this model hark back to the original from the early 80s if I remember rightly 👍
That is a jaw dropping collection! The red 1680 looks to be one of the best I have seen, but I’m drawn to what I think is a Lemania powered Sinn 142

Glad to see you still have my old Red. I had forgotten about it. Nice watch.
I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread! That Autavia GMT is lovely. Just yesterday I was thinking about how I wish I'd been able to buy that first BLNR from you. Still, hindsight and all that. I still regret not putting everything into your old Great White, that really could have been the one!

Cheers all for the kind comments
I guess recently it's been a close run thing between the Breitling and the Zenith, but I tend to change every few days so.
It's certainly similar in overall design but a bit bigger & with solar & radio wave connectivity is a bit cleverer.
That watch is believed to be a transitional Sinn 140/142 & it is indeed 5100 powered.

It's going nowhere Simon.

Excellent, I kept on scrolling and the watches kept on coming :)
Wow. Cracking collection Andy.
Enjoyed this post a lot!
Very nice collection. I must try one of those Sinn DiaPal's one day.
Lots of nice watches there.
Didn't realise there was another Milspec on the forum-that's 3 I know of now.
Great photos too.
Getting drawn to Sinn's of late but not sure if it would get much wrist time.
Very nice SOTC.

The (I assume) 99.1 is the jewel of your interesting collection -- and, of course, much the most exclusive. Also really like the FF
Excellent Sir, thanks for taking the trouble to share.
Lovely collection Andy - some crackers - red sub is stunning and your Lemania powered watches are real quality additions.
Cracking collection!

Very diverse and a couple of corkers in there. Red sub and 16600 are especially nice.
Cracking collection there, Andy
A super collection. Great fun scrolling and seeing more and more great pieces. Thanks for sharing :)

The Aquatimer is fantastic - one of my all time favourites. IWC have never bettered it.

The Dornbluth is quite out of place in that lovely group, PM me by return. ;-)
