A collection so perfect I'm sad there wasn't an skx at the end but just a Seiko 5. Great watches. Top notch.

Excellent photos with moody lighting! :thumbup:

A great bunch of watches. Good to see someone else that doesn't subscribe to all this just have one or two grails and a few beaters nonsense. :thumbup:

Have I ever mentioned before that my favourite is the JLC...... :D

I really like the new photos. Neutral, allows the focus on the watch. And of course, a wonderful collection. :thumbup:

pretty amazing difference from when i first joined this forum in 2012. not that your collection wasn't nice then, but you've obviously stepped into a new strata.

that said, my favorite watch in your collection has been there all along, the POLM.

Very nice collection, and superbly photographed as usual :clap:

I do hope "downers rules" have not been broken since being written ? :wink:

Sooooo what is next Richard? ....."all white". ? ? :-"

AND, what may be going ?......I suspect it could be the GS diver.

Enjoy!!

I hope, when I am 80 years old (and you are 78 :D ), my POLM will still be there, and will still be my favourite too. :lol:

I may have transgressed the "rules" (I think of them as general guidelines, rather than rules :D ) once or twice, and I hope to keep that up. :lol:

As for what's next, a couple of CW's and who knows, one day a white Daytona, but that would force me into some very difficult decisions that I may not be prepared to make. Honestly, I have all the watches I could possibly desire, so maybe it's time to go back to the more 'affordable' end of the hobby...

Rules? Schmoolz!

I have been breaking all mine left right and centre just lately, and do you know what? I'm having more fun than ever!
