Thanks all. The pictures were admittedly rushed, no processing, but they'll do for the time being.

The Jazzmaster is on my wrist as I type this. The Khaki and Oris F1 are my casual/weekend watches for the most part. At least until my Kingfisher arrives ;)

Thanks :) The strap has been called the 'armadillo' bracelet. Supposedly there's 300+ pieces to it, in original length. I don't doubt it - it's quite substantial.

As you can tell, I have a varied selection... some good, some Junk ..some novelty.. Quite a bunch of different looks. Since discovering CWL, I have been upgrading in both my taste and selection. To be added to this group very soon is a Xezo Maestro 3136RG and a Maurice Lacroix Peseux. Thes are on the way and should be with me within the next week. Hopefully, to be added this year are a C8 and a C15 for sure and lord knows what else CW or ebay tempt me with.

I know the pix isn't much but I didn't want to clog anyones computer with crappy photos. If you really want to see anything, I can post the reqested photos.

So you've only got 26???.....must try harder, lol :lol:

A very nice collection there Kip 8)

I seem to have a fair few watches at the moment too, but like you said, since getting my first CWL, my taste in watches has changed dramatically, so will be interesting to see what the future brings :D

It is not about quantity Jay. It is about collecting what you like, whether it be strictly personal taste or a themed collection. I collect what I like, as I wear most of what I have at one time or another (at least the ones I buy myself). Never feel bad or get down on yourself because you only have a few. The watches you have listed are very good pieces, more importantly, Do they make you happy?
