Thanks to @Stif and the very useful Wristcheck app, I've been more closely monitoring what I wear of late. As such, and after a lot of soul searching, I've separated out a collection of watches to go up for sale and consolidated the collection back down to a single box.
There's been quite a change in the 7 years that have passed since my last SOTC...
A quick update without too much in the way of detail; the Longines breaks all the rules I thought I had (slab sided, eaten numerals, noisy wobbler, etc) though is the latest addition I need to pay for through sales of the lesser worn! CW, Halios and Oris will be seeing Sales Corner/eBay soon.
The collection as of now, in both light and dark, quickly snapped with my phone...
Tudor Pelagos 25500TN
Tudor Black Bay 58
Longines Avigation BigEye
Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor
Tag Heuer Carrera 1887
Omega Speedmaster Apollo XV 40th Anniversary
Omega Seamaster Professional 300M
Omega Constellation Globemaster
4 divers, 3 chronos, several standard bracelets swapped out & stored, replaced with rubber/fabric/leather straps. I tend to find a combination I like and stick with it (including leaving the bracelet on!).
Times were roughly set - apologies to anyone with particular OCD there

Just for comparison you should show the pieces that are moving on. The keeper box is top notch

Re: JTC - February 2023
Thanks for sharing, the Longines is the one I prefer from that impressive collection.
I also like what Tag have done with the subdials by making the running seconds hand less prominent, this gives the impression at a quick glance that there are only two subdials. I once had a Bremont that also used this trick and I liked how it separated the watch from all the usual 6,9,12 subdial chronographs.

Iain’s Law: Any discussion on the Christopher Ward forum, irrespective of the thread title or subject matter, will eventually lead to someone mentioning the Bel Canto if the thread continues for long enough.
Re: JTC - February 2023
A box of delights, with more than a smattering of classics.
I expect that when you look at current Omega pricing, you are pleased you picked up your Globemaster bargain well ahead of your birthday.

Lovely
Having said elsewhere that I’m not particularly fussed about omega watches, the globe master is beautiful. I also love the bigeye in a completely different way

Re: JTC - February 2023
Great manageable sized collection Jon. I’d happily wear pretty much all of those. I recall your acquisition of the BB58 and that Constellation is a really underrated piece.

Re: JTC - February 2023
Thanks everyone.
- Halios Seaforth v1 in Pastel Blue, that I've just not been wearing
- Oris Artix GT Day/Date that I find a little big for my taste now
- my beloved serial #2 C7 Hornet that just isn't getting worn, no matter what strap I give it
I'll grab some pictures when I list them, but it's essentially:

- Oris Artix GT Day/Date that I find a little big for my taste now
- my beloved serial #2 C7 Hornet that just isn't getting worn, no matter what strap I give it
Yes, the Globemaster was due to be discontinued when I grabbed mine. It's one of several that have appreciated, which is no bad thing I suppose!
Yes thank you again! This forum has directly contributed to 3 of the purchases...
