Good afternoon all,

A new arrival at 7:20am this morning has prompted an SOTC post, thus:

All the lovelies nestling together on a chair...


The 'strappies'- Vixa Type 1, Junkers Horizon, Fortis B42 Chrono, PRS20 ....


Those on a bracelet- MKII Vantage, C20 (on a proper bracelet), Trident (on a tedious bracelet)...


The quartz, Nautica, Citizen, Swatch, Triumph ....


and the newbie, a PRS20 on ostrich strap, recently purchased from SC on TZUK.


I had forgotten how lovely the slow-beat, unitas movement sounds in operation. It has a lovely 'snick-snick' sound and winding it is an absolute pleasure. The watch came on a plum coloured Toshi, my first experience of this brand and I am really impressed with the quality. However, I feel it is a tad too thick for this style case, hence it has been replaced by the Ostrich. I now have to find myself a watch to suit the Toshi! I have even turned my thoughts to building a watch- I have the strap and dial, just need to find a case, movement, hands and time!

That's it for now folks. I will aim to present a more in-depth review of the PRS20 at some stage. Needless to say, this little beauty is going to be on the wrist for the rest of the week.

Splendid collection, John, thanks for sharing. I love the ostrich strap

Looking good jm. Thanks for the look.

Ditto on the ostrich strap.

Very nice collection you have (not sure about the Triumph).

Nice collection indeed

Those PRS20's are underated i think...personally i like it on a Toshi though

Thanks for sharing your collection. One correction, however, you can't fool me that's not a chair it's a small animal

Very nice JM. I like your Junkers and the Fortis. Keep it up!

That's a fine collection you have there jm.

What does SOTC stand for if not 'Sale of the Century'?

The words "Live from Norwich" did go through my head

Nice collection

Thanks for the comments chaps. Sitting here quietly reading and I can hear the prs20 ticking away. Very calming.

Scooter- I think SOTC stands for State Of The Collection. Wasn't Sale of The Century a programme in the Eighties?

Village- the toshi is ace but the buckle is almost as heavy as the watch! Just before mine arrived I had a good look at straps and buckles and now have my eye on a snake skin and cast silver buckle. Very pretty!

Thanks jm.

The Fortis is still looking good I see.

Nice rounded collection there (is the chair dead yet?).
Nice PRS-20 that you have acquired... and a nice choice of strap ... but it's the wrong colour...

It is the wrong colour. The chap I bought it from bought the prototype black dial from Eddie and swapped it for the white one. I have the white dial in a plastic case and have been looking at cases, movements and hands to build my own watch. Sounds like a good idea anyway!

in those photo's that is one cool stool!

Thanks! It is an 'homage' of an Eames LCW chair, one of a pair, which we had covered in cow hide to match our original Le Corbusier chaise and cow hide rug. All very seventies but there is nothing like sitting on cow hide!
