There are 'others'.......there are always others! A few in's & outs of late and one of these beloved will be on to pasture's new shortly........with another few coming in!
Where WILL this madness end?

Great collection!
Vintage beauties, all of them.
Indeed, my man. Thought most scratches were itched, 5513, GMT, Flightmasters etc. I still miss the Heuer Calculator and the 0552 Hamilton though. Once Foxy (you listenin' you rottah?) offloads that bashed up old Benthos of his to me) and I find a decent Aquastar Deep Star I could be at journeys end and decide to have a selling fest, except the '66 Speedmaster naturally.Originally Posted by Chinnock
Mini still scraping the hedgerows btw!

Now that's a decent start, but take it from me, it will never end!
That's a lovely,lovely collection of oldies.
I have one remark to make though and I hope you take it the right way- put a little more effort/care in taking pics. They don't do you watches the justice they deserve.
Madness, what madness
Very nice collection, and they all look like they are in really good nick too.
Seems clear to me that what you need is an Omega Speedmaster
The Nivada chrono is very cool
Chronotastic!
Superb!
Never end the madness, it's the only thing that keeps,you sane!
Jesus wept !
Ooh, that would have been a low blow if that hideous strap wasn't on the Calc & the Benthos hadn't been over polished! Lovely pair all the same.
As for my awful pics, point taken but this latest burst of quick posts is due to me getting my iphone linked to Photobucket at last! More to give a flavour. If they were sales posts I'd have indeed taken more care.
I definitely agree with that.
Excellent collection!
Awesome collection.
Could you tell us a bit more about the different Speedy's please?
Lovely collection Bongo.
NEVER let the madness end sir, after all it results in collections like yours.
Nice.There are 'others'.......there are always others! A few in's & outs of late and one of these beloved will be on to pasture's new shortly........with another few coming in!
Where WILL this madness end?
Sure. The one on the left is a 1969 big logo caseback. (short production run to cash in on Apollo 11) Next a minty '66, and a '65 Ed White, of which I am only the 2nd owner!Awesome collection.
Could you tell us a bit more about the different Speedy's please?
The latter two came via the same esteemed clock & watchmaker, who's father then himself, serviced the Ed White from new.
Cool Ed White, if you ever think off getting rid of it ... I'd cross your palms with silver ;-)
Some lovely watches there - would be very happy to add several of those to the collection
Funny you should say that..........
Those are all Speedy's to be proud of.
Surely you don't need three though...?
Beautiful collection. Long may the madness continue!
Thanks for the kind words lads. Think the way forward is a smaller watch case!
It is not very often that I feel this way, but there is not one in that collection I wouldn't be happy to own. Hard to choose a favourite in fact, but the 66 Speedy is lovely.
Very nice. Some great looking chronos, especially like the Sinn. My favourite in the lot is the Nivada dual crown though (bezel notwithstanding).
