I thought it was about time to share another SOTC since I haven't in quite awhile. Sorry about the poor quality *Replaced first 2 photos with better quality photos*, it's a little late so the light is poor. I'll break it down into three parts, also not pictured are my Trident quartz, Citizen Nighthawk, Victorinox Inox, and G-shock Mudman which are watches I use for military deployments.
Main collection update Nov 2016 by ciclismosam, on Flickr
First is my main collection. Here we has what I consider to by the purest example of the modern diver in the Tudor Pelagos. I also have the Omega Seamaster 2220.80, the only SMP pre-ceramic that has a co-axial movement. Then is the new purchase the C8 Power Reserve and its blacked out sibling in my collection the Sinn 856 S UTC. In the bottom row the is a vintage Sekonda chronograph from sometime between 68-70, and the Speedmaster Professional...my two parts of the space race. I have the crown jewel and my dress watch the Zenith EP Chronomaster and the C900 Single Pusher.
Military/CW collection Nov 2016 by ciclismosam, on Flickr
The picture isn't great but this is of my military and CWL subcollections. I have a 1945 Elgin A-11, US Army Air Forces issue. Then the Seiko 6105 which was commonly purchased during Vietnam, mine belonged to a US Airman in the late 70's & early 80's. And then the rarest of military specification GG-W-113, the 1984 Marathon version which was only produced in 1 year and with numerous differences compared to other companies GG-W-113's which were produced from the late 60's through late 80's for the US Air Force. For the CW's I went for CW's great use of color with the green Malvern chrono, Bluebird, and the burgundy bezel Trident GMT.
Personal update nov 2016 by ciclismosam, on Flickr
Lastly are my random things. The ESQ homage to the Cartier Tank which my parents got me when I finished basic training back in Jan 2010 and is what got me into wearing watches again. Then the Seiko 5 which was my first true auto/mechanical watch purchase for myself, and the Sistem51 which is just interesting to me. Then there is my great-grandfather's 1920's Hamilton pocket watch that was given to me last year. I'll have to get it serviced sometime and get it running again.
I hope you all enjoyed the update. I probably won't have one for awhile as I've decided to save for my next big purchase to coincide with earning my degree. Taking one class at a time while working full time in the military means it will be that sweet when I am done and I will commemorate with the Rolex GMT-Master BLNR...but I will need all of the next 1.5 years to save up

Terrible photos but a superb collection! Love some of those vintage military models, the speedy, the zenith, the SMP. Top stuff.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

Ciclismosam - November 2016
I agree, the photos are pretty ordinary but the watches are certainly not! Great collection with some real gems in there. I like all the usual suspects, but possibly the one I'd like most in my collection is the 6105... The single pusher is a bit of class too.
IIRC there is another non-ceramic SMP fitted with a co-axial movement - the red bezelled, white faced Olympic LE version has one as well, but they're not exactly common.

Excellent collection. Thanks for posting.
We could certainly use some photos of that C8 Power Reserve for the Reference Gallery.

I wasn't considering any LE SMP's good catch!
Kip, I'll be sure to snap some reference photos of the PR for the reference gallery as soon as I get the chanceKip wrote:Excellent collection. Thanks for posting.
