I don't have the number of watches that some other Members have in their collections.
I really enjoy these threads and just realised to my shame that none of these were in my possession a year ago
Anyway
Rolex Submariner
Omega Speedmaster Professional 3570.50
IWC Mark XVII
Bremont Solo
Breitling Aerospace Evolution
Thanks for looking

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Just updated its a 'standard' 3570.50Originally Posted by seikopath
Fives a good number :)
Great collection. Which one gets the most wear?
I think that's a great collection, and whilst I've not paid a huge amount of attention to Bremont the Solo fits in very well. Presumably you don't have a need for anything dressy, but I could see a nice Junghans, Nomos, Longines, etc making up a six that would cover all the bases.
Love the Sub but have you considered adding a pilots watch 😜😉
Probably the Mark XVII
Thanks Tony. Not a fan of "dressier" watches TBH and the XVII on alligator works reasonably well.
I traded a Solo last year and I am really pleased to have snagged another a couple of weeks ago.

Might need to consider another MBII to add some variety
Love these threads too, also like your taste in watches!
I love the Mark XVII and miss mine.
I know the IWC bracelets are great but I just think they look not quite right on the pilot. Having said this I have never had one and if I did I may be eating my words...
Lovely set and great pic's
Paul
Nicely rounded collection
Paul, The Mark XVII works extremely well on alligator
First 3 are as classic as they come, really fantastic entries!
I must say I like IWC most, had the pleasure to see it in person, truly magnificent piece, if I was to get one watch, that would be the one
personally the Bremont isn't for me, but the other 4 I would love to have in my collection (oh wait, I have 1!).
Tried on the IWC a few weeks ago, the bracelet is just magnificent, and I think the aerospace is the best ani-digi on the market. I think that's my first purchase of 2016.
I hate looking at sotc!! Dying for some new watches but don't have the funds (soon house is built the better)!!
That's a nice collection! Like the Bremont also!
Nice collection. I think the IWC suits a leather strap much more so than a bracelet. Gives it a classic look.
Great collection. I agree about the IWC on leather - This is my Pilot's worldtimer on leather:
It does, but the IWC bracelet is just so beautifully made...
Lovely set of 5; for me the IWC and Bremont are slightly too similar in concept, a white dialled Solo might solve that :)
Very nice collection. Really love the look of that bracelet on the IWC. How comfortable is it in comparison to the other bracelets in your collection?
5 very nice watches there, really like the look of that IWC especially
What a great collection. The IWC is purdy, and the photo of the sub gets my envy glands pulsing.
I was thinking the same, or if sticking with Bremont an ALT 1C...
Lovely collection there :-) we have very similar tastes it would appear
To my shame I had a white Solo previously but did not bond with it.
Also I let a cream ALT1C go as well.
The Mark XVII looks great on both alligator and the bracelet is sublime. It is incredibly well engineered and very comfortable.
I keep thinking about an Explorer 1 as my next watch.
Frankly, for me, that is very close to a perfect 5...! Really a great collection.

Nice collection , like your train of thought re Explorer
This would make a superb "dress watch" and is likely to be my next purchase.

I use to wear mine on a Bob alligator to save the OEM and it was a lovely combo. Great watches.
Lovely series presently there, we have now very similar seems it could look.
Great collection, and (as mentioned elsewhere) I'll stick my head above the parapet and say I prefer the Solo to the IWC - although both are great watches.
Very nice collection!
I too like the look of the black solo over the IWC - purely on aesthetics. IMO an Explorer would be a great addition to your collection, possibly in place of the Bremont or IWC. I think you had an AT a while back too, that would be an interesting comparison to experience.
Still it's a great collection as is!
Thats a superb collection for 5 watches it covers every variety.
Thanks for the comments. I had a grey AT previously and although a great watch I was never totally sold on it. I may let the IWC or aerospace go at some point to fund an Explorer 1.
that's a nice collection you've collected there.
the Solo is one of the very few Bremonts that i do like...i may have to look at one for a future purchase.
wear them all with pride!
