    Some really heavy hitting tasteful pieces here lately!

    Presenting my very humble collection, minimal, but all I really need for now

    Dress: Stowa Marine Classic 2801-2 Roman/Handwinding
    Sports: Sinn 104 ST SA I

    531007.jpg

    Still have an SKX007 not pictured which I don't really count, stock aside from Crafter Blue and flat sapphire. I may shift it on at some stage, rarely wear it, washing the car/DIY etc. not costing me anything to own, got it before the bubble.
    Replied to say how much I love the Sinn then spent 10 minutes drooling over the Stowa.

    It looks huge. As does the PAM.

    Then the VC which is 42mm looks tiny!

    Lovely collection!

    Two beautiful watches. I find I only ever give wristtime to two watches at a time, a diver style for casual and a more dress type watch for work. Those two would cover every base for me, other than exercise when I use my gshock g7900a

    Thank you VW 1 - to be honest this was my thinking exactly - over my (short) career collecting watches, I've had a good few affordable's, multiple Seiko's to tinker with/practice modding, multiple dress watches. I kept finding myself going back to the same two all the time and the rest gathering dust on a shelf. A dress-casual watch for work and a 200m sportier watch for everything else covers 99.9% of my bases.

    Decided to cull the herd and stick to two watches I really enjoy rather than many entry level watches I somewhat enjoy. I've always enjoyed all things German whether it's the cars I'm driving, the knives I use cooking, architecture/design or even the beer I'm drinking. Narrowing the focus of my collection strategy in line with this made sense. Watch collecting is not something I'm in a position to sink a lot of cash into, so far I've been luckily cost neutral/positive if anything. Trying to avoid impulse buys, researching extensively and sticking to the pre-owned market is key.

    I'm not sure what my next step will be from here. I'd like to think it will be one in one out but we'll see how that goes.

    Never had a decent box before to display my modest collection. Used to keep them some in their boxes and others loose in drawer. It feels a little underwhelming compared to some of the heavy hitters here! :o Was going to order the Wolf trays mentioned on bargain thread last week to put in the drawer but the only ones in a colour I liked was a set of two for 24 watches! It was €50 I spotted this Stackers one on amazon for £20 so took a chance on it. Like the double compartment so I can leave out a cushion and keep bits in it.

  • Registered Users Posts: 425 ✭✭CarProblem


    After the GS arrived I felt brave enough to chance this. Awful photo so I must get a proper one tomorrow when it's better light

    IMG-20201231-170641.jpg

    Very happy with my bunch - though had I known lockdown(s) would go on so long (and I'd not be spending any money for so long) I'd probably have waited and bought a BB58 instead of the Oris (although I do really like the Oris). Suppose flipping at some stage in 2021 is still an option, we'll see

    This is my watch box which cost me the princely sum of £12.09 a few months ago!

    What would be a decent price to pick up a Milgauss second hand? It's probably the only Rolex I'd consider, something very eye-catching about it.

    Its a nice watch alright. Around 7 grand private sale or 8 grand from a dealer. Watchfinder price them about 8500. The chrono graph is below, they are on the rise and there is strong talk of discontinuation next year (pinch of salt, pure speculation). So now is the time to get one.

    Here is my own humble collection.

    ffQLmMkl.jpg


    Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT premium 500 Ceramic
    NTH Barracuda - Vintage Black
    Steinhart GMT-OCEAN 1
    BOBO Bird Wooden Watch
    Seiko Blumo
    Tisell 9015ex
    Gshock DW-5600BB-1ER
    Casio Duro MDV106-1A
    NTH Barracuda - Polar White
    Seiko Samurai - Dawn Grey
    Seiko Presage Cocktail Hour
    Casio Edifice ECB-10DC-1AEF

    Hopefully before the end of 2021 I can add one "luxury"watch to the box, but I might need to move a few watches on to make room and help finance it. My problem is picking one; my taste changes like the wind.

    That's a nice collection L. I love the 70's Speedy. IMHO they wear nicer than the 60's(and current) ones. I mean for those who find the Speedmaster awkward to wear and it's common enough some people do. The 70's evolution sits differently in my experience and I like even more that it's not the "standard" Speedy. Like the ana-digital Breitling too. Very 90's.

    Yeah the Mark II is very comfortable. You'd think it was a lump, but it doesn't feel bulky at all and actually sits fairly neatly on the wrist.

    The Aerospace is also a nostalgic item for me. Before I was into watches, while working in the industry in the 90s, I occasionally saw these in airline mags and such. Didn't know till years later what they were, but was always impressed.

    Here’s my first go at an SOTC post. One box of ‘decent’ watches and one box of beaters.

    545487.jpeg

    545489.jpeg

    A bit of a mixed bag. I wear and use a watch every day (I’m a vet, I take pulses dozens of times a day). I value legibility and having the date. Aesthetically, I lean to the vintage.

    The Nomos is obviously the best quality, the samurai and the Steinhart get the most wrist time.

    The two Paganis were bought as watches to wear to work where they are abused, clattered off door frames and kennels, and are sometimes quite literally sh*tters. Of the two, I quite like wearing the 007 clone, so much so that I will consider a seamaster at some point. The daytauxna on the other hand put me off multi dial watches completely.

    In the future, I’d consider upgrading the Steinhart to a BB, adding a Seamaster, losing the Cocktail Time (the Nomos fills that gap anyway), and of course there’s a Solas on the way. The beaters mostly serve a purpose, and are not really worth flogging.

    I’d like to add a pulsometer, either a vintage Omega Chronostop or maybe a Sinn 144 (multi dial phobia notwithstanding). If I were really pushing the boat out, I’d like a white dial Milgauss.

    I reckon I’ve spent about 3k over the last 4-5 years (and could probably sell them off for 2 so not too bad) but I don’t really intend adding anything for a while, having been through the early stages of the curve (buy *all* the watches), I now have a better idea what I like. I may have been better off getting one really good watch, but I wouldn’t have the variety, and I don’t think I have the discipline!

    Some lovely watches. I am a big Nomos fan! Never see one I don’t like!

    The beater serve also an unseen purpose. They are blockers. Space takers. Diluters (is that word?). Get rid IMO.

    Nothing like a clear out to focus the mind and like you say, you now have a better idea of what you like.

    Off topic as you are a vet. Next door neighbour lost a cow yesterday. She had mastitis and wouldn’t stand. He lifted her out of the shed. She was eating grass around her and a little meal. Vet was out. Woke up dead. Very strange. Mastitis probably unrelated.

    Has another sick now. Vet out again. They are wondering about ragwort poisoning potentially. I would have thought they would need to eat a lot of that to get poisons. Very strange!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,071 ✭✭✭dakar


    Strange indeed, it’s a while since I’ve been a cow vet, but I think ragwort dried in forage can be quite concentrated, and is a potential problem for horses especially. Would be unusual to for it grow well in meadow grass for hay/silage though.

    And yes, intellectually I agree completely, I should do a clear out. I haven’t gotten to the clear eyed stage of collecting watches yet though!

    March 2021 State Of The Collection

    Its only been Jan since my last update but with Lockdown it seems like about 12 months.

    I sold a couple of Rolex to get the 5205g. The bank lost a transfer on me for 4 weeks. Nearly 30k lost in space and nobody doing anything. Had to kick up a real fuss over it, at one point I had paid for the watch twice and was really stressing out.

    Feel the collection is getting more and more refined, fewer and fewer blockers.. The Daytona is interesting, reports coming in that the dial is starting to patina from the red hands and applied markers in a pink hue, I can see the start of it on mine, one to watch.
    Top - Seiko SKX007J on Strapcode, Sub no date 114060, Daytona 116509, Tag Aquaracer.

    hd-IMG-0024.jpg
    Bottom - Patek 5205g010, Royal Oak Chrono 41mm, Vacheron Overseas Gen 2.

    This photo will self distruct in 30 days.

    A covid year in watch collecting is 10 years normally. Your level of buying and selling in the last 12 months has been a whirlwind.

    The Daytona is the only Rolex that should be untouchable unless it’s being rolled into something else untouchable.

    The Patek has added a new dimension entirely. One you tried to fill with the JLC along the way. I am sure there is more to come but it gets much harder now. There are 4 watches there that it is very difficult flip onto something better. Even sideways steps are difficult now, whereas with Rolex or Omega etc you can endless flip between them. Easy flip a Rolex sub for a dog**** oyster perpetual and back and forth.

    But there is more to come!

    Nothing else to do 893bet...work all week and dream about watches all evening. They are honestly keeping me sane. I made a mistake with the pepsi..thought is was something it was not and had to get out quick, The Darkside niggles at me a bit, think a rebuy in time maybe.

    That's a very weird trade, you would want to be mental to swap a Sub for a OP unless you were getting the OP retail and had some dislike for the sub. You would want rocks in your head as AC3 says.

    Yes backing myself into corners now, no easy trades. Upgrade the VC maybe to a precious model. Not to be a copycat by ALS is appealing also.

    Dont want to comment on the Patek in the honeymoon phase, but so far so good. But one Patek is enough. A yellow gold or rose gold watch is next, the other bases are covered.

    Ah the 114300 is without peer in the OP world. I had that exact version myself and it’s one of the few watches I truely sorry I sold. Sold it to a boardie. Tried but it back recently but no dice. Must try again.

    I was more referring to the current OP on the rainbow colours. You would want to be soft in the head to pay grey prices on that. But fools and their money....


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭redlead


    Thats a serious collection. Fair play for building it, I'm sure youve worked damn hard to get there. Its hard even know where to go from there ..... except its not. Get a precious metal Lange to add to the holy trinity. It kind of covers the precious metal hole you have and having those four would be bloody amazing.

    I'm sad to see you got rid of the master control. That's one of my favourites and was offering something different to the rest of your collection. If I was you I'd cash out of both Rolex. What's the point of having them at this stage, you have next level sports watches. The opportunity cost of having them is too big. This is all fantasy stuff for me to be fair.

    I liked the JLC too...the Patek is kinda the holy trinity version. Sold it to a good friend so didnt go too far.

    The Daytona is special to me, its white gold and my first seriously painful watch. My wife wears the subs a lot. Need keep a at least one Rolex. Agree on the ALS thats one to get. A rolex is a handy thing, very rugged and waterproof. If the price reaches a certain level I set in my head I will sell it. Wouldn't go swimming with the AP although I am sure it can take it. Some say less is more...but really more is more. Will try hold the 5 good watches and add ALS....

    Blockers (trademarked by me in 2019) is a horological term. They are watches that take up a space in your watch box that you don’t really truly love, you might have bought as they were “in fashion” at the time, a forum darling, or perhaps it was a good price etc.

    As an example....if a couple of Rolex came up at the right price I would buy them, despite ingeneral not liking them. They then become blockers as I no longer have funds when the watches I actually really want comes available.

    I've thanked and liked enough other posters SOTC that taking Fitz's advice.
    It is most certainly time to post my own.

    I've just realized that I have a handwinder on the winder.
    A little redundant but in my defence, I'd just whipped off the Breitling to get it in the SOTC photo ;)
    So back row L-R
    HKed Bund V3
    Tudor BB41 79230R
    Sinn U2 that is soon to be returned to sword hands and Black datewheel. My skeleton hands were an absolutely awful idea!
    IWC 3878-02

    Front row L-R
    Seiko Arnie re-issue
    Accutron Astronaut, on a generic bracelet as I'm waiting on new springbars for the Coffin link.
    Citizen Promaster jp3050
    Superocean 2 44mm

    As can be seen my preference apart from the Accutron runs to larger cases.
    I'm looking forward to adding a starlight to the collection and I'm toying with acquiring another Tudor either a Pelagos or a North Flag, but funds and time will tell on that front.

    I still have it on the cheapo strap I picked up from AliExpress.
    The leather I got with it is lovely, but I think I may eventually buy a bracelet for it too.

    The leather/canvas does make it a comfortable wear tho IMO.
    The Astronaut is probably my favourite but the Tudor runs it close.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I like the IWC too. The strap is a great colour for it.

    I have to say I always admire Superocean's when worn on the rubber like that one. Completely changes the look an vibe of the watch versus the bracelet.

    Great collection thanks for sharing.

    Nice diverse collection banie!



    I have a box of spring bars, I'll post a selection to you for the Accutron bracelet if you're stuck. Came with one of those Chinese tool kit selection boxes, would like to see them go to a good home - PM me your address. They're all an unusually narrow diameter, many shapes and sizes.

    Nice diverse collection banie!



    I have a box of spring bars, I'll post a selection to you for the Accutron bracelet if you're stuck. Came with one of those Chinese tool kit selection boxes, would like to see them go to a good home - PM me your address. They're all an unusually narrow diameter, many shapes and sizes.

    Thanks for both the compliment, and the offer!
    Its very much appreciated and I'll drop you a PM later.

    This really is one of the soundest corners of the internet!

    No worries! I've no idea if they'll work but worth a shot!

    Yes but it takes balls to put up a SOTC photo after some of the ones gone up here recently. Nice collection there banie, can't help noticing all the black dials, was that just the way things worked out or is it intentional?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Thanks Blue.
    Yeah, some of the folks here really have smashing taste and collections.

    Not intentional at all and, I'd agree I need a splash of colour in there.
    But much like Mr Ford and the model T, black is usually cheapest :pac:
    The grey of the IWC is the only non black I own :(

    I need to expand my horizons.
