Description: <p>I thought I would share a few photos of the watches in my collection which has grown over the years to the point where I feel that I have reached the end. I don't really need to buy any more. Or do I...?<br/><br/>2012 Omega Seamaster Diver 300m<br/><br/>This was the first watch ever purchased after I had saved some money after going offshore for a few trips during windfarm construction work and pretty much didn't leave my wrist for 5 years as my daily. It is in my eyes the ideal watch, very legible with excellent lume, it can used for smart or casual, isn't too showy and is built tough. When I first saw it I loved the dash of red on the dial and tip of the second hand, and the tiny fleck of orange/gold which you can see at the base of the hand stack. It has been used and abused, dived with, taken a multiple knocks, has never been serviced and still keeps perfect time. It is now in regular rotation on a variety of NATO straps.<br/><br/>1996 Omega Speedmaster MK40 Triple Date 3520.33<br/><br/>The second watch I purchased after "discovering" Speedmasters but preferring an automatic. I didn't want the hassle of the regular reduced speedy as I understood that the Dubois Depraz module could be tempramental with this instead housing essentially a Valjoux 7751. At the time I was completely taken in by the colours of the dial and the tiny yellow arrow for the date hand, I don't think I've seen too many of these on the wrist which is another appeal vs. a regular speedy.<br/><br/>2013 Rolex Explorer I 214270<br/><br/>A 30th birthday present from my father, the Explorer was never really a watch that I desired, however I knew that it had a special connection to my dad being born in the year that Everest was summited and the fact that he was named after Edmund Hillary. I now absolutely love its simplicity, legible dial and timeless design, being a 36mm as well it also fits my slightly small wrists much better. This has ended up being my watch for special occasions where smart or smart casual is called for.<br/><br/>1967 Rolex GMT Master 1675 "Long E"<br/><br/>Ever since getting into watches I hankered after a GMT Master, the colours of the bezel which just pop, the flat case which sits nicely on the wrist and their timeless appeal. After watching their prices climb steadily I thought I would never be able to afford one unless this popped up for sale at a reasonable sum. This is very much a piece which is only worn occasionally and will ultimately be sold to provide money for when my son is older or gifted to him.<br/><br/>2013 Omega Speedmaster Professional 3573.50 with 3593.20 Italian Albino Cream Dial and Handset<br/><br/>I had always appreciated how the Speedmaster was a significant watch, and would be a nice watch in the collection but there was just something about the white dial of the 45th Anniversary Snoopy which was just chefs kiss. However, again I watched in dismay as prices climbed to ridiculous heights and I knew that I would never own one. Then I saw an article on Fratello with a modified Speedmaster "paramedic mod" with a creamy white dial and red second hand. This was perfect, it had the dash of colour that I like on my watches and the white dial. I had to find /build one! I priced up the build parts and waited to pull the trigger and as if it was meant to be, a modified one with the very dial and handset that I wanted was available for sal, which I snapped up and now wear in regular rotation.<br/><br/>The above watches have been collected over the course of ten years, going through periods of rest (read:saving money) and just enjoying them. I have, in the course of time, been into ADs to register interest in new Submariner and GMT models and never heard a dickie bird. So I stick to the older, slightly more slender models and purchase from Chrono24, reddit and watchuseek; I'm well aware that my collection does not have a particular variety of manufacturers which is fine by me, I just buy watches that I like the look of and to me this collection is perfect.<br/><br/>Anyway, enjoy the photos :-).<br/><br/>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/X4jveNtVmR</p>

Description: <p>My current three watch collection! I’ve sifted through quite a bit of watches across different brands, and have finally landed on these three. Got the DJ last year for my 30th birthday, then purchased the BB58 later in the year. Yesterday I got the new white Speedy. Hoping to add a Pepsi or Bluesy one day to round out my collection for good! Not pictured I have a G-Shock and an Invicta that was gifted to me by a friend. Curious to see everyone else’s take on a “perfect” Three collection in the comments! Thanks!</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/rolex/s/7G63dDcfpC</p>

Description: <p>My Trifecta 👊 Let’s see what you’ve got!</p><p> </p><p>My first watch purchased was the Ulysses Nardin Maxi Marine (left) following a good work year. Loved the relative simplicity and symmetrical nature of it compared to other Ulysses Nardin watches.<br/><br/>The IWC Portugieser “Blue Panda” was next and replaced my Ulysses for most days.<br/><br/>The latest edition was the Franck Muller 5850 “Vegas” which I just got and love it! Bought with recent casino wins and taking it to the casino in a few weeks…<br/><br/>By far my favorite three in my collection. Also, my only three.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/46uD9TJ0Zh</p>

Description: <p>Love looking at these while I work.</p><p> </p><p>I brought my winder into my new office job. Now it sits proudly on my desk while I’m working and gets locked safely in a drawer when I’m gone. I enjoy getting to see my entire collection while I’m working, especially when things get stressful. I do not plan on adding to this collection; I hope to just be a 3-watch guy with heavy hitters.<br/><br/>Tudor Black Bay Ceramic: This was an impulse buy a few months ago. I went to the mall with a buddy so he could see a Zenith Triple Calendar (which he ended up buying) and he pointed out this piece. I was immediately drawn to the stark contrast between the hands/hour markers and the black dial and case. It has an exhibition caseback, something we rarely see from Tudor, with a very cool blacked out movement. The branding is very faint on the dial; the whole thing just screams stealth.<br/><br/>Grand Seiko SLGW003: This is my latest acquisition and is on my wrist daily. I love everything about it. Titanium’s super light, blued second hand is stunning, the most beautifully finished movement we’ve ever seen from GS, and it’s perfectly proportioned.<br/><br/>GP Laureato 38 Copper: This was my “grail” last year, the watch to end all watch purchases for me. The textured dial is out of this world and I love the bracelet. The movement is gorgeous, as you’d expect from High Horology. The gold rotor just spins and spins and spins; it’s quite hypnotizing.<br/><br/>Wolf Double Cub Winder: Tracks rotations, so the watches are mostly right-side up when static. I plug it in during the day and then the batteries kick in when it’s locked up. Overall very happy with it.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/XDkr7f45wQ</p>

Description: <p>Just curious as a conversation starter, what is your favourite tool watch? What brands/models do you feel makes the most robust, balanced and tasteful addition to your collection? After wearing this Super Ocean for the last 6 years, I recently was gifted this Sea-Dweller and am in love. I’ve always been drawn to the more “chonky” look despite having 7.25” wrists, but I am interested in what your dream utility watch is and why?</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/KIt3nyqJOL</p>
