Reply With QuoteI like the Seiko :mrgreen:
My current watches ...
IWC 3536-03 I never wanted this and was actually thinking about getting the black titanium version.
NoiseyBoyUK - Dick was kind enough to show me what these looked like in the flesh by letting me see his white/silver faced version and that was that...
This gets plenty of wrist-time - weekdays and weekends. A keeper, and a watch I'd consider getting the 'sister' Black+Steel version as well.
IWC 3714-17 My collection until this point had been all black Omegas (x4) .. I needed something a bit more fancy, non-Omega, with a white face, and this ticked all the boxes.
Bought new from Iconic.
Worn less frequently than I thought it would be. Even after adding a deployant which it should be supplied with if you ask me.
A contender for replacement to a 5001 possibly or a serious upgrade to GO Seventies Panorama Date
Omega Speedmaster MKII Racing Dial.
I'd not owned anything vintage and had been collecting a few Omegas up till now, so this made sense to get something old, and still looked quite chunky.
Picked up from SC - and was in excellent looking condition. Case is stunning.
I personally preferred the new look so had the original face and hands replaced with new ones from Ofrei.
Has become a weekend watch - not worn as much as I'd have predicted. But, a keeper as I don't think I could get another in such good condition, and I feel more attachment having restored it.
The Omega PO 42mm is a classic - great presence, and very versatile. I bought it on orange bezel with bracelet, then bought black bezel, mesh, rubber with orange stitching with deployant to make it feel like I've got 3 watches for the price of one.
Not sure if I'd go 45mm or not if I was buying again.
Could be flipped for a new version - that said .. this is my goto weekend watch for something that feels bullet-proof and goes with anything.
I'm very temped to wait for the new blue version.
Omega Aqua Terra - first purchase from SC.
Fantastic work watch. Wears slightly bigger than the quoted 42.2mm due to slim bezel.
Given how often this has been worn it has really stood up well!
Thinking about adding an omega brown croc strap to this to give a bit of variety. Another keeper as not sure what I'd replace it with and haven't seen many available if I wanted another.
Seiko SKX-009 bead-blasted - The perfect beater for gardening/DIY.
Bought for a bargain from SC.
So I've got a bit of everything I want for now and if I didn't change anything (which I haven't for a few months!!), then I'd stil be happy with the same collection a year from now - which is the first time I can honestly say that.
Temptations as mentioned .. Something Blue: Either GO Seventies Panorama Date, or New Omega Blue PO, something Rolex (I said I never would) - GMT Pepsi, something non-cyclops - I need to learn more about these. IWC 5001 - although this makes less sense as I want to expand beyond IWC. IWC 3536 Black+Steel - White version is high on my current rotation list, I'd love to have the black as well ... hard to justify.
I like the Seiko :mrgreen:
Very very nice.
My favourite Omega; I'll have to indulge one day. I also love that Speedy 8)Originally Posted by I a n
Lovely collection. You seem to have very similar taste to me.
GREAT Aquatimer 8) 8)
The Seiko is the stand out, the rest are ok.
Very nice collection
Great collection. You don't see that Aquatimer so often
Excellent collection. Do they do the Portuguese in a non-chrono version without the eroded numerals? It's lovely as it is but imagine if it had an alternative version :)
Great pics and a really, really lovely collection. The IWCs in particular are stunning.
the top 4 are all stunners can't decide which I like most. If pushed i'd go for No2...... no wait No3 :lol:
Love the IWC's :) I'm just waiting for an Aquatimer Chrono to arriv.... :D
Lovely collection that you have there. :)
Though I can see a trait in your collection.
Love the IWC, have thought on many occassions about getting the 7 day aotomatic.
Very nice collection and photos thanks for sharing
Missing something with a crown? :)
I've never considered it before but I really like the PO on the mesh. :)
Lovely collection. There is something there for every occasion.
Great collection!
I think I like the Planet Ocean the most, simply because it's so versatile. However, the Aquatimer is a (really) close second.
nice collection.. well done!
very nice collection, love that Portuguese, especially the blued hands
An interesting mix, thanks for sharing :)
Gray
What a great collection! Very jealous.
Now that's a collection i can relate to, i have all 3 brands in mine :)
Absolutely love your AT...
Great watches, thanks for posting!
Very lucky to have a great collection like that :mrgreen:
Love how you put the nice Seiko at the end.

The above IWC is sheer Class :!: 8)
Cheers all.... and getting a Rolex might make sense - would have to be an old one - like the 14060 that just went on SC :-(
The 16610/16660/16710 look good as well... anyone know where I can find a buyers guide to help me work out best one to get?
(Yes .. I can search here but searching for 'Rolex' is pretty much an overload of information).
Nice collection and the Portuguese is just so :thumbright:
very nice :D
Great collection you got there! Love the IWCs 8)
really like the aquatimer, its a classic
Like the PO....and the Aquatimer isnt bad either...
The MKII is peerless.
Great collection, your pictures are beautiful
Nice collection
I like the PO on mesh :drunken: :drunken:
I like the black version but that looks great with the light face.
Yes, go for the GO - tried it on the other day... really something... wears bigger than expected, but lovely finish...
I love the blue dial and the bracelet as always from GO a work of art!!!
but those two IWCs you have there are still pretty ok :lol:

GOT...TO...KILL...CAPTAIN STUPID!
Really need to quote the entire OP?
Nice collection.
IWC have really piqued my interest with the 5001 Portuguese. The in-house movement and display back take the new model up a step from the older model, and given the price increase of many of the other makes, it is actually not as outrageously priced as it could be. I would probably look for a used one anyway, and these now start to look pretty good value compared to a new Rolex!
The Portuguese is such a beauty!
Now you should add a pilot or ingenieur to your collection haha
I love the PO in the black bezel/orange number configuration
How hard is it to replace the bezel from an orange version ?
Did you do it yourself ?
Great collection.
Very nice collection, thakns for sharing with us.
Congrats. This picture is great :bounce: .
This forum can make me feel so sad sometime, so many nice watches but not in my collection. Maybe one day if my numbers come in. Good to know that others can enjoy them :)
Very nice collection of watches and varied too - PO's with an orange bezel always catch my eye :roll:
Nice collection and I particular like the IWC 3536.
Very nice collection, love the IWCs. Thanks for sharing
Wow!
I'd take most of them off your hands. Outstanding collection. :thumbright:
:shock: wow perfect!
