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

Re: downer - July 2017
I really like the new photos. Neutral, allows the focus on the watch. And of course, a wonderful collection.

Re: downer - July 2017
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.

Re: downer - July 2017
Very nice collection, and superbly photographed as usual
I do hope "downers rules" have not been broken since being written ?
Sooooo what is next Richard? ....."all white". ? ?
AND, what may be going ?......I suspect it could be the GS diver.
Enjoy!!

Re: downer - July 2017
Cheers all.
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...
I hope, when I am 80 years old (and you are 78 ), my POLM will still be there, and will still be my favourite too.gwells wrote: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.

I may have transgressed the "rules" (I think of them as general guidelines, rather than rules ) once or twice, and I hope to keep that up.Winnie Bloo wrote:Very nice collection, and superbly photographed as usual

I have been breaking all mine left right and centre just lately, and do you know what? I'm having more fun than ever!
As I said on another thread, I only made them for myself and nobody else gives a…
