Beautiful collection. Wonderfully balanced.
I post a few watch pictures now and then to a little Instagram account - 5 followers and counting!

Re: SOTC update Lancslad 2024
You could have stopped with the top row there and never bought another watch! (#omegacrew)
As to where to go.... You are at the moment very tool watch heavy (divers and chronographs mainly). If it were me I would move toward something a little more versatile or formal. You do have the Slimline but that is in the minority. An Aqua Tera would slide in on the top row nicely. Or maybe go farther afield with a Cartier or a JLC?
Overall a great group of watches.

That’s a great collection you’ve got there, however to answer the specific question you asked……
Keep the Bremonts but sell the rest and buy an IWC
Well you did ask……

Re: SOTC update Lancslad 2024
Hi guys,
Thanks for all the wonderful comments and advice i have been heading in the direction of more dressier pieces with the last few watches i have bought [ the CW Slimline and the Panerai luna rossa]..as everyone does i have budget constraints which will determin what i can add going forward so i have plenty of food for thought for sure.
i do love the Bremonts i own , but i just can't seem to fall for the latest Bremont watches, but who knows what the future will bring into my collection.

Re: SOTC update Lancslad 2024
Thanks for sharing, great set of watches you have there! Love the PAMs (bit of a fan boy myself) and currently wearing my MBII which is exactly the same as yours..... Agree re. the latest Bremont offerings - not for me either. Shame that. And also agree with Iain - get yourself an IWC

Re: SOTC update Lancslad 2024
Again many thanks for the comments and advice for my collection..I have been looking at various brands collections but still haven't settled on what will join the collection going forward.
@Strapmeister..no I don't have pam 512...in order from left to right they are a 40mm Radimir Pam1294..a 42mm luna rossa Pam1381 and a 44mm submersible Pam1226.
I don't plan to add any further Panerai but never say never..

Re: SOTC update Lancslad 2024
Amazing and well curated collection, Les. It seems way more organised than my arguably haphazard bunch.
I can't quite make out which model the white dial, Chronograph Bremont is. Enlighten me please.
As for the TAG Kirium? A vastly underrated model. My brother has one.
Where next? Bel Canto?

Re: SOTC update Lancslad 2024
Hi Guy,
The Bremont your asking about is an ALT1-WT (A world timer)...the TAG Kirium F1 is my first luxury watch and I have owned it for almost 20 yrs now (my wife bought it for me for my 40th birthday), it is a very small dial compared to more recent watches so doesn't get worn as much as it used to.
Where do I go next? A bel canto? No don't think so, it doesn't appeal to me to be honest, I don't doubt it's quality but it just doesn't float my boat! I'm still searching for my next addition, as others have suggested it will be a little more dressy i think so (forgive the pun) watch this space..

Re: SOTC update Lancslad 2024
^^^^ Cheers Les,
That's a coincidence or karma. My brother's Kirium was also a 40th birthday present from his wife, a little over 20 years ago now.
Ah yes; an ALT1-WT. I can see it now looking on my laptop; my phone's screen is too small. Same beast but different execution to my ALT1-ZT.
