Yes, love a bit of whoreology. Pic below is a couple of recent purchase when I was in the US earlier this year. They keep company with a Chronoswiss, a couple of Rolexes, Omegas and some other bits and pieces.

Very nice collection you have there. I'm not mad keen on watches but I have been wearing a Breitling Aerospace for the last 15years and I'm looking to get an Omega Seamaster pro planet ocean. I appreciate they are pretty humdrum fare for a collector like yourself but half decent nonetheless.

Future classic daddio.........

I do like the Constellation, nice watch. I have a string of all sorts, including a 50 year old Regency which is still going strong.

Lewis (Marcos) has a large collection...unless his wedding plans have cut into them.

I have an 17th century French clock set with matching candelabra that my nan gave me, its pretty special. I have an Omega Seamaster Pro, an Chorum 'Joker' Bubble and a Rado Sinatra Jubile but I wouldn't call myself a wh0re!

I have a couple of nice watches that are part like/want and part good investment. I also bought this a couple of weeks ago, my current favourite:

 

[hodroyd]

That looks quite nice MAF..??

I'm a saddo with watches, it’s my hobby I have far too many for my wife’s liking. Current wearers are Tag Grand Carrera Calibre 36 and Monaco Steve Mcqueen.

My favourite however is my Chopard Gran Turismo XL - (matched the car - what a tart!)

 

[GhostyDog]

Kin 'ell Tony, you get everywhere.

Is that a new Favre-Leuba or the same one you had before?

My collection of special watches amounts to...

Longines Sport Wing Chrono that I bought myself for my 21st birthday

Favre-Leuba Calendar Pointer from the 1950s

My personal fave though is this.

Purchased from the Bottega Panerai Orologeria in Piazza S. Giovanni, Florence earlier this year, it's a PAM00176 in Titanium

 

[hodroyd]

Very nice GhostyD.

 

[2b1ask1]

Nope; can't get excited about watches; have tried, even been bought some nice ones over the years to celebrate things. I just cannot bear them on my wrist, catch them on everything and I end up stopping them anyway as I seem to have that Uri Geller ability!!!

Stopped wearing them when I got my first mobile phone as they all have the time on them anyway...

Erm, No P. That's a Fortis Spaceman Audacleuse Automatic designed by Andre LeMarquand. I have two along with my other watches. That one and a green one. They have a way to go yet, but steadily rising in value.

Oooppss........talking to a Horological philistine this end Miles..................do forgive me!
