    SOTC - Autumn 2017 Collection >>>

    Well it is the season to be jolly - well nearly, so I thought I'd post a pictorial of my little collection at the moment. Been a few incoming this year - notably the Omega Planet Ocean early this year and Fifty Fathoms and now the Yacht Master makes it in - others had to leave to make space but others stay (and will always - such as the Patek 5146J and the dimintueive Air-King-Date.






    Top row - all 40mm or under

    Omega X-33 MK2 - Rolex Air-King-Date - Rolex Yacht Master bi-metal rosegold - Rolex Explorer 1 - Patek Philippe Annual Calendar yellow gold 5146J) - Rolex Sea Dweller 4000

    Second row - all > 40mm

    Omega Planet Ocean Chrono 9900 Orange accents - IWC Worldtimer - Blancpain Fifty Fathoms - Brietling B55 ExoSpace

    Some have come and gone - and this makes me cringe slightly

    Non... rien de rien
    Non je ne regrette rien

    Great collection there.
    Needs an LV and a BLNR to really finish it off ;)

    Good collection, not the usual suspects. The Air King Date and B55 are especially cool.

    Gorgeous Blancpain and PP. Even if the 50 fathoms is not really my style of watch, I must admit to a certain jealousy.


    Rolex Oysterquartz (17000) stainless steel beater; Cartier Santos quartz in steel/gold for dress wear; Audemars Piguet Huitième chronograph in yellow gold; Glashütte Original Senator Excellence (classic dial) in steel; Glashütte Original Panoreserve (blue dial) in steel.
    Need more . . . .

    Beautiful collection of watches you have, thanks for sharing.
    I won't pretend I know anything about the PP but it looks stunning.

    Great collection Martyn. I especially like the ff, have lusted after one since trying one on in the summer. And the YM. Gorgeous colour combination.

    I appreciate the kind comments everyone! It’s taken a long time to get to this point. Still some others that I’d like to get though.

    Take care.

    Martyn.

    Love an Aquanaut (3 hander). Or more realistically, buy back the Zenith CP2 I sold to a friend.

    Very nice collection. But lacks a couple of vintage.

    Fantastic collection! I like the focus on steel sports then topped off with a pp gold.

    That's a nice image. Love how you've caught the dancing glint of the logo.

    You need a watch box with wider cushions!!! Man they are all nearly touching each other. That would drive me mental, especially with a collection like that!!

    I did try a few vintage - the AirKing is from 1978 (from my Dad) - but I really want a watch I can wear day to day, so in the end they left my collection, did try a 5513 and some others - they’re just not for me.

    (I reserve the right to change my mind)

    Lovely collection. I have to agree about the cushions/spacing though. I have a similar setup for some lesser watches and it still drive me barmy.

    I reckon I could live with less than perfect watch box for a collection like that...

    The PP is a real work of art!
