    Some of my Father's Collection

    Right well here are some of my father's watches thought some of you may like to see a few pics who knows.

    Firstly and my personal favourite is the Franck Muller Master Banker I just love this watch because for a muller its not stupidly big as i think many of them are it doesn't even look too out of place on my little wrists:











    Next is his Daytona that he has only just picked up a couple of months back and i suppose it would be his grail (probably rather have a vintage) although they are not rare just something he has always wants.







    Now his Omega and i appologies for the vile strap although i do think its a nice little watch when on a brown croc strap he put it on this for some reason :roll: Can anyone give me any more info about it as neither he nor i know much about it.







    He also has an old 1980s seamaster with a quartz movement that the battery has leaked in :| and and IWC pilots mark XII (i think) but that is on his wrist as we speak.

    Great selection of watches there. Strangely, i dont like gold or dress watches all that much but I love that Franck Muller, very nice.

    Your Father certainly does have great taste, I particularly like the Franck Muller Master Banker!

    Very nice Muller and I'm not normally a fan of the brand :)

    The 'Piepan' Constellation 8) is probably early 60's, 'horned' lugs with a 561 or 564 movement if it has a quick date change. (the date will change by pulling out the crown and pushing it back in)
    Would have cost a pretty penny back then, I think quality wise, it was top of the Omega range, dress watch wise.

    Very nice collection and I agree that the Muller looks good on your wrist. I sure wouldent mind having that Daytona though :bounce:

    Fabulous collection! Contrary to a lot of opinion on here I love the name Master Banker, I find it tongue in cheek. Dial is A+! Daytona is also a beaut 8)

    The pie-pan Constellation is nice, an absolute classic IMO. Nothing wrong with the strap, black straps always look better on a steel watch IMO than brown.
