Re: downer - July 2017
it's a fine collection, and the photos are incredible
my least favourite is the geophysic
i also believe that once you own an ingenieur there's no requirement to have any more watches
i won't say 'enjoy your collection', because i think it's very obvious how much you do. and that gets a double thumbs up from me

watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Re: downer - July 2017
^^^ Thanks MissF.
I have to admit, I get as much pleasure from taking the pictures as I do from the watches themselves, and SOTC's are a self-indulgent way of enjoying both of my hobbies.
The picture-taking is a permanent work-in-progress. I have learned a lot, but I feel as if I've barely scratched the surface of photography - and I know that is a hobby that will consume me in retirement.

The collection just gets better and better. Glad the silo 5 is hanging in there without looking out of place. Some fantastic new editions to the stable but like gwells. The LMPO is stunning.

Re: downer - July 2017
Excellent group Richard, what strike me most is how successful your consolidation has been, respect!
I may have repeatedly hinted over and over but I am still waiting for that token crazy-wacko multi-colored ana-digit totally non-sense piece in your collection.

Re: downer - July 2017
I always look forward to one of your SOTC's Richard, they are always quality
Great photos as always too. My favourites haven't changed, always the Aqua Terras with the Tudor BBR in there too.
Your latest, the Yachtmaster is fabulous also

Re: downer - July 2017
The omegas andthe rolexs are superb. Either of those sub sets on their own would be a superb collection. In fact just oneof each could be all you ever need.
Quality Richard

Re: downer - July 2017
Bit late to the party, but better late than never.
As you already know, a fab_u_lous collection Richard.
Think I've mentioned previously that I really fancy the IWC MkXVII and now the Grand Seiko diver is rock solid.
I wouldn't usually reckon on liking it, as overall I'm not a fan of the brand, but the bezel on your Yachtmaster is just fantastic. I love the profile and raised numbers.
Carry on and enjoy.
