Grand Seiko SBGN009 (LE)
CW C1 Moonglow (LE)
Frederique constant manufacture fc710 mc4h4
Seiko prospex spb177
Steeldive 1993 gmt master homage (Rolex wouldn't sell me the real one unless I buy other watches but wasn't interested in any of them so I bought the design)
Bottom row
Michael Hill (wife's wedding gift)
A pair of seikos that was also my wife and I first partner watch but wanting to get rid of them now and replace them with something I would wear. (She doesn't like it any more either.)
Last is a citizen that I used when I used to be clinical as a nurse, now it's a watch if I am doing something with the risk of scratching a watch.

Lovely varied collection. Thanks for sharing. I have been thinking of a similar FC to scratch my "need" for a dress watch.

Thanks really only started getting into it around 8 or so years ago. I've offloaded a few and as mentioned the next ones to go are the seikos.

Thanks heaps. I'm also glad. It's my most casual watch and adds a bit of fun to my otherwise dressier style of watches.
Kind Regards
John

Honestly I got that FC very cheap I think $1800 aud. It's actually rrp is $4k
But the value of them when you get them on sale is hard to beat.

A nice varied collection you’ve built up. I think the Longines is my favourite.
