Description: <p>Four out of five are probably here forever.</p><p> </p><p>The Aquastar Benthos I bought in a Paris flea market on a trip with the family. It was just so unexpected and the orange crawler was crazy cool. The back story was also interesting, who knows if true, but the orignal owners wife sold it to the shop, he was a French special forces diver. My watchmaker spent awhile on this one, it needed a fair amount of work.<br/><br/>The Rolex I bought once I graduated from TBS in Quantico. It has seen some amazing adventures. This one goes to my dauther, hopefully it is passed down for as long as possible.<br/><br/>The Sinn I just picked up for my trip next month to walk the last 100km of the Camino. Might not be a keeper beyond that but it is so typical of German engineering, no nonsense, tough as nails, tool watch.<br/><br/>The Omega has always been the watch I felt I had to own. For some reason I thought it was perhaps the most beautiful design of any watch I have owned. All original except for the crystal. That one I suspect I will give to my brother just so it stays in the family.<br/><br/>The IWC is shockingly still here. Although I can&#x27;t help myself with flipping watches, I can&#x27;t let this one go. The 41mm size is the only IWC chrono that was ever comfortable. And that blue dial is great in pictures but amazing in person.<br/><br/>That is pretty much how I roll with watches. Probably going to pick one more up, but I am holding out until I see something truly interesting. No more major brands or vintage. So may exceptional micros are coming to market I can&#x27;t keep up. I would be sincerely intested in some options or general comments. Cheers fellow watch lovers.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/tgZSNuzVDR</p>

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&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;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 &quot;discovering&quot; Speedmasters but preferring an automatic. I didn&#x27;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&#x27;t think I&#x27;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 &quot;Long E&quot;<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 &quot;paramedic mod&quot; 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&#x27;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>At this point in time, I was trying to maintain maximum versatility, while also covering my core watch interests with as minimal overlap as possible.<br/><br/>I had an interest in owning at least one, Japanese, Swiss, German, higher end Indy and Microbrand at the same time, while making sure I had coverage of my preferred watch genres. Dressier options like the GS and Armin Strom, great GADA watches like the Santos and the Ahoi and an adventure/rugged watch like the Humboldt GMT. Even though my collection has expanded, I mostly still prefer time only watches. In many ways, I wish I had stopped with these five, as I think this was probably my watch collection at its best.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/your-ideal-and-realistic-5-watch-collection.5415489/#post-55215229</p><p> </p>
