Hell yes and ditto. As you said RUK to stop spamming eejits and the like, Boards brought in a policy to restrict linking to folks under 50 posts. No worries, just PM one of the mods, or for that matter one of the larger postcount layabouts we have hereabouts(you know who you are, so stop looking at me like that..:D) and they can link your pics for you.Deep Thought wrote: »Holy Moley...cant wait to see these
Or what 893bet said and we can edit and embed them for you. With a list like yours RUK, please brace yourself for praise and unbridled envy in about equal measure.
Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Let the praise and envy begin.
Actually, I was thinking(Danger!) maybe make this the SOTC(State Of The Collection) thread? We don't have one and we should. Where you post up your stash of tickers, buzzers, hummers et al.Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things.

It looks like RUK bombed us out of the water with his impressive SOTC. I am going to be brave, my humble collection might make it easier for others to post here, as we don't have a SOTC thread.
I am new to this hobby/addiction, this time last year I owned the gold coloured quartz seiko. Just want to say thanks Wibbs for enabling me your advice and opinions, never mind 'introducing pictures' So here goes
Top pic; Seiko quartz
2nd pic; Seiko bunch
3rd pic; Longines, one each from 60's, 70's and 80's
4th pic Group shot da 44 in front, couple of Jiuskos (pale blue is my wife's) .
Any questions fire away.If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

Sure why not..
I've decided to become a 3 watch man for the foreseeable future. If I want a new one then one has to go. Obviously the speedy now has sentimental value so that stays.
The large black hairy watch in the 2nd picture is 2013 black lab homage
I also checked that all 3 tell the same time and both diver bezels are centred before the gestapo Mitch B turns up...

So that time of year again
my collection is down to 4 pieces now, i find that most manageable in terms of wearing everything as often as i should but still having a choice. The insurance company requires me to keep everything in a safe so i can be lazy about swapping them around so any more than 4 means one is left unworn for long periods.
First up, and my keeper, is my iwc portuguese, i have had this watch 6 or 7 year now so must be due a service soon, the only change in that time is a new oem strap and a new oem deployant instead of the pin buckle. this is my dressiest watch and tends to get worn for formal occasions or formal work occasions.
Secondly is my hulk submariner, i traded my trusty black dial ceramic sub against this stickered 2015 model in watchfinder in london. it cost a few quid, but factoring in the service soon to be due on the black sub, and the price differential between both when new, it wasnt outrageous.
i loved the black submariner, but have always admired the lv, its something a little different to the ubiquitous black dialled submariner.
The new watch also benefits from a 5 year warranty, i admit i havent yet removed all the stickers!
Thirdly, another rolex and another one new in 2015, i was after a blue dialled watch, and this 116300 fit the bill, a lovely dark blue dial that catches the light beautifully, and the 41mm size suits me a lot better than the older 36mm DJ. Again a 5 year warranty and some stickers to be removed !
Lastly, my navitimer, another one new to me last year, this is the 43mm version with the B01 movement, another classic and the inhouse movement and subtle changes (black date wheel, red chrono hand, larger size) make it a worthy upgrade on the old ETA powered version.
Strangely enough all of these watches were bought by me new, such is my OCD buying used has become more difficult so i tend to scour C24 and the UK based sellers for the best deals on unworn watches instead.
For this year i would really like to add a calibre 11 Monaco (breaking my 4 watch rule!) but not sure what else, the other watches that interest me are a lot more expensive now, id love an AP RO 15400 or a Patek Nautilus but dont see it happening in the next 12 months. That said i am pretty please with this foursome
Thanks for reading!0 -

A year or so of (predominately Russian/Soviet) watch collecting and it's escalated quickly. A few pics to show the lot, with some making it into more than one 'family' pic.
Dress Watches
Some 24Hr watches
A LOT of Vostoks
Chrono Crazy
And then the rest..

Presume you mean the one below. That was my first Russian, bought sometime around the late 90's I reckon. I had a hankering for a 24hr watch at the time so trawled the web and it was the only affordable one I found. That it was a Vostok was neither here nor there at the time.Any more info on that 24h Vostok...never seen one of those before (neither the dial nor the case)?
It stopped working after about a year and I never replaced it until I got back into wearing watches last year. Was a pleasant surprise to find it in the bottom of my 'computer stuff' box, had it serviced and it works perfectly again.
Agreed it's a bit of a rare one. I haven't seen a single instance in a year of daily ebay searching, in fact the only one I've seen is the pic on the Vostok Wikipedia page.

Current state of the collection as of today. Decided to take a half decent pic when changing straps on one or two of them.
In the past year a few nice pieces have moved on and ive gone from having 12 to having 6. I absolutely hate having a watch that doesnt get worn and right now every watch gets worn at least once every 2 weeks.
I think my aim in time is to get it down to 2, but im not in any rush, ive shrunken it by half in a year so thats good going.
Would like to add a speedy to the collection some day. Any time I get close to it, i think what kind of holiday or experience i can get for myself and my better half and its usually a much better way to spend the money.
And some of the friends that have moved on:
There was also an Obris Morgan Branco that I had for 1 day and just didnt like in the flesh. Im sure im forgetting one or two, but thats all i can think of, and have pictures of.0 -
