Always good to see how your collection keeps changing and moving forward. :thumbup:

The changes since your last update include my three favourites in your collection - C65 Dartmouth, C65 SC and C9 SH21 SC. :)

First off, Ferg, if if there was the definition of a brand ambassador it's you! Shame there's a Rolex in there sullying an otherwise immaculate collection. :lol: :lol: My fav three: the C9 jumping hour; the C65 MK 1 LE and probably the C65 SH21 LE, so we share two the same. Your photos are always a treat, you should be employed on the CW website. I'm just curious , do you ever wonder what it must be like to be able to post in non CW of the day? :lol: :lol:

Seriously, really great stuff, a superb collection of well-loved timepieces.

Ferg, I've said it a few times before but you are a great CW ambassador (never mind James Bond or whoever on that other thread!).

I think you have improved your CW collection even more with these latest editions - the C65 LE is such a great summer watch to lift the mood, the C9 ss is a perfect dressy watch. The blue of that SC is so appealing too, if only I didn't have a few blue watches already I'd definitely be tempted to buy one.

Ferg, I've said it before that I think you have it right!! If you calculated how much money you have invested in your CW collection , and the diversity you have, compared against using that same money to buy "bigger brands" I believe you've won. Actually you've nailed it on the value for dollar spent equation IMO.

I also enjoy watching you fine tune your collection with a few additions and subtractions each year. My favourite additions this SOTC has been the C9 SS and the C65 Yellow LE!!

Enjoyed the post!

A tough question..... if you could only keep 3, which would you choose? :shock:
Oh that's a very tricky one mate.....
If I literally had to choose three then probably the C65 SH21 LE. C9 SS and the C9 Jumping Hour Mk3.
I must apologise, my autocorrect always insists on calling you Ferguson :lol: I might have to change your name

Excellent stuff Ferg! I didn’t realise you’d picked up a C9SS - lovely watch mate, mind you, as are the rest of them. All looking to be in fabulous condition and a pretty good representation of CW’s finest.

You may not have a Constance but you certainly have constancy, Ferg.

I'm not sure I could ever amass a one-brand collection like that.

And...you have refined the watch and shirt photo into a true art form.

Very well done, my friend! :clap:
