I've had a few PMs suggesting that I haven't done one of these for a while, and having just moved on my JLC it seemed like a good time to take stock. Eight is a couple more than I'm comfortable with in all honesty, but I can't see any of these going any time soon so I suppose I'll have to get used to it.
The strange thing is that I seem to enjoy wearing the Seiko and CWC more than any of the others, probably because I don't have to think about it once they're on my wrist... that should probably tell me something. The Daytona has been the biggest surprise, because it's just so versatile that it always seems "right" when I put it on; and the AP is as wonderful as I hoped it would be, but unfortunately I have to wait a few weeks for them to reopen in Switzerland in order to get a 1.5 link for the bracelet (it's very marginally tight at the moment, or alternatively a bit too loose). It's also quite nice that I've got the various bases pretty much covered; old, new, chrono, moonphase, GMT, three-handers, manual, auto, etc.
Anyway, here's a single montage of all of them.
As always excellent pics of an excellent collection.

Great collection, and as always, brilliantly shot. I might try my hand at something similar later, but my photography skills are no match for yours.
Brilliant as always Tony but the 5513 stands out for me!
Very nice, Terry. Did you move the Seagull chrono on? I seem to remember that you thought that would be kept regardless given the modest outlay.
Stunning collection Tony! Some amazing pieces there.
The AP is perfection, simple and clean.
This is the first time I've set eyes on one of your SOTC posts but the collection looks just great.
I love that GMT
Really impressive group, excellent pictures as usual, the AP looks so good I might have to look again
at them which might be catastrophic for my GMT fund ;-)......

I'm picking up my sixth watch in December and it is too many but like you I couldn't see selling any of them.
Looking good T. The Seiko is a cracker

AP, GO, GMT , Daytona , Sub . In that order. Were there any others
How do you take such stunning photos? Lovely stuff, love the Glaschutte, Royal Oak & Daytona.
Fantastic collection. Psychologically I struggle with going over 3 watches. Helps the bank balance but increases the flipping :)
Looks great, 5167 will fit in perfectly.
Very nice and well balanced collection! Thanks for sharing.
As ever a great photo (well photos) of a superb collection. Will need to see the AP in the flesh to see if it turns me on!
Lucky chap Tony, stunning collection there!
I think I have too many at the cheaper end of the scale for an equally impressive photo, well, that and the inability to capture a watch decently within a photo.
Love the leather nato, was it expensive?

The GO is really growing on me. Was looking at them in the Wempe window on Friday. Very nice!
Think you have covered all bases there Tony, just think the 5513 is one Rolex too many so you should sell it to me! :-0)

Hi Tony
Superb collection there and magnificently shot.
Thanks

Lovely collection Tony!
Superb collection indeed.
If money was no object (for me) I would move the AP and the Daytona and replace them both with a Kaspa.
But give me those and tell me I can't change them, I'd still die a happy man
Thanks, chaps.
Yes, I can't say that I want for anything else, and probably won't until the need for change really kicks in at some point. The AP and Daytona do it for me, actually (I really love the Daytona, as it happens).Superb collection indeed.

I do too. But I am in owe of the Kasparov, the white chronograph AP...
As other have said: fantastic collection! Would be great to see a montage with all that you have owned over time to see how the collection evolved. Could make for an interesting photo...
great collection- nice strap on your radiomir too. thanks for posting - envy
That AP is the star there for me (although could just be the picture!) but the GO runs it very, very close.
Nice bunch :)

Not seen that section of your site before, Tony.
I'm assuming where there are duplications such as the MM300 that you keep trying them again? Interesting if so as keep reconsidering one I've sold, but sold as I never wore it.
Thanks for reminding me of that link.http://halfpastthehour.wordpress.com/been-gon/

Assuming Been and Gone is broadly chronological, there have been about 26 further departures since the JLC PC yet it is only a year or so ago since I saw that piece at the Herts Bucks GTG. It does tend to make a chap feel somewhat off the pace
A stunning collection Tony, excellently photographed.
May I ask what the 5513 is photographed with? I have one of your photographs that you took of my Submariner on the lounge wall and as well as drawing much admiration, I am constantly being asked what it is photographed upon.

That's a watch that covers many bases. A terrific all rounder.

Bloody awful collection as always
Now I see.
Thank you for revealing that trade secret Tony.

what happened to the jlc ?
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
. I wish I hadn't read that.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Already haveYou'll get over it
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Stunning collection Tony. Also nice to see that many are no longer on their original straps, so much fun can be had from finding a right strap. A lot of bases covered indeed.
I'm going a bit GMT crazy at the moment, and that Pepsi looks amazing!
