I'll be honest, I wanted to slap you by the end of box 1
Must take hours to get ready to go out, 5 minutes to get dressed and the rest of the time to choose the days wrist trinket

So many watches, yet still so little time!

Re: gaf1958 - January 2018
How on earth to you pick what to wear every day Gary?!?!?!
As to "favourites"...it's the TinTin...no, it's the RailMaster...no, it's the Zenith...no, it's the orange PO...
I'd be happy with a tiny fraction of those - cracking collection

Re: gaf1958 - January 2018
Oh my... and I thought I had it bad. I'm going to print out your collection and show my wife how restrained I am.
What an absolutely stunning collection. You have many of the pieces that are on my 'someday' list.
Funnily enough, the one that stood out to me (not the best, just it stood out) was the purple Turtle. I didn't even know that was a thing!

Actually Louise is the same, hates me to sell any as she knows I may regret it afterwards.gaf1958 wrote:Sure am... My wife actually discourages me from selling watches, even though she rolls her eyes when a new one arrives...nathanclarinet wrote:Erm, Wowsers! Are you married?!??!
Not too pleased when a new one lands however.....but I do make it up to her with nice holidays etc especially this year for her 40th....
Truly AWESOME collection Gary mate
The Kingfisher and Trident collection alone are extremely enviable !
That Green Bezel trident has my name written all over it.......

Fabulous Gary, just fabulous.
How on earth do you you decide what to wear on a daily basis.
Stand out pieces for me:-
Handwound Zenith El Primo
1950s Continental.
Omega Seamaster 300.

I tried to find superlatives not already used, but.

Re: gaf1958 - January 2018
How on earth do we follow that? There's setting the bar high, and then there's the ridiculous.
I'm curious how someone with such impeccable taste in watches managed to come up with this monstrosity of a strap though?
Gary, do you have multiples of the same watch (kingfishers etc) but just on different straps / bracelets? If so, the new CW quick release pins could drastically reduce your collection of CW's.
I couldn't pick one favourite (so how you choose which to wear is beyond me) but highlights for me are,
Railmaster,
white / blue Aqua terra (looks white and black?)
Farer beagle
Cream C6
Certina Precidrive
Luminox
Thanks for taking the time to post.

I could do that yes, but unfortunately the bracelets are not quick release, and the straps I like on the Kingfishers are not quick release either....DISJT wrote:Gary, do you have multiples of the same watch (kingfishers etc) but just on different straps / bracelets?

One of the yellow C6 Kingfishers will be sold following the arrival of the yellow C60. The same will apply to one of the orange C6s when the auto orange is back from servicing at CW.

Re: gaf1958 - January 2018
I do worry about you Gary. would you say you are an addict or just filling the boredom? So many I would sell out of that lot to make life easier but then im not really a collector .
I miss all the great things that may never be.
