Solid collection Jeff, and strong inroads into Pam models too - I like all of those listed by you.

What a fantastic collection you have there.

For me the CW's are actually all crackers...the C5 FLE (have one myself), the red Trident, the Blue Elite, the C90 and the Worldtimer are all some of the best looking CW's to my eye (I don't actually recall seeing a C90 before..wow it is a stunner)

The JLC is an iconic watch too, not to mention the GMT Master which looks very nice with the blue/black bezel.

Nice collection. Thanks for sharing, especially that CW automatic with the black dial and white ring for the military time reading. If the date window could be moved inside the ring and a day complication added to balance it could be the ultimate smilely :D watch.

I have never seen this model before, even after spending many hours on the forum.

Thanks guys! That would be the C90 Power Reserve (formerly known as the Beckett's as in the race track corner at Silverstone. I think CW didn't get permission to use the name so they dropped the "Beckett's", but that's what I will always call it. :thumbup: it's quite large and bold, but I love it!

It also came in an all white dial. There's some more photos in the Gallery here.

What a great collection. I will hopefully have one of the C9 Beckett's in my collection at some point, yours is a beauty. The Batman is also bound for mine someday. Your choices and tastes are great. Also, the Pam 351 is a great choice, I love the tobacco dial and it is one of the main reasons I went with it. It is large though, but Panerai's are supposed to be.

You guys are really killing me with the Bulova Moon Watch being in your SOTC! I wonder if it is a sign to pick one up!

Greetings,

I have not been here for a while so I thought I'd catch up.

It's a lovely collection, your Reverso especially.

It also shows the value/usefulness of a light tent, maybe we should all invest in one.

I saw a Seiko Pogue at an auction last week, it went for £400, needless to say I have no idea how much they cost originally.

Just seen your collection, there are some stunning watches in your collection but as an Art Deco fan that JLC is the star for me..... wow must try and find one.

Delicuios collection made all that more mouthwatering with the addition of the Rolex.
