Mad or not...that’s a great collection Phil
I used to have a Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver...a watch that is so much better in the flesh and, to a certain extent, regret selling it.
Love the Bremont Supermarine and the GS both gorgeous
...but the highlight for me has to be that Seiko Chariot...stunning

Lovely watches!
I have a Seiko Chariot 2220 too!
Such a nice watch and totally under the radar amongst vintage watch fans in my opinion.

Re: FloridaPhil SOTC - May 2019
Thanks for your compliments.
Since last posting here, the Grand Seiko diver has barely left my wrist. Prior to acquiring it I understood, intellectually, the concept and possibility of a 'one watch' collection but this is the first time I've experienced it. I know it's still the honeymoon period but this watch checks all the boxes for me being incredibly versatile, reliable, beautifully constructed, comfortable and dozens of other gushing adjectives. I'll work on a mini-review in the near future.
The Trident Ti has been moved along and I have finally made the decision to sell both the C65 Mk1 LE and the Seiko SARW025 (Laurel tribute). Others will likely follow.

They are SO underappreciated. I think they got labelled as women's watches due to the size and the current fad for larger watches and so, as with many ladies pieces, are available for not a lot of money. I've noticed that prices seem to have risen substantially over the past year or two. Still,the perceived undesirability can lead to a great buy if you can find a good one.timeonourhands wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 9:48 amI have a Seiko Chariot 2220 too!

I must’ve missed this first time around, Phil. It’s a great collection and my advice would be to hold onto them if you like them – no other justification is needed really.
