I am missing F, I, J, Q, T, X, and Y. I must be doing this all wrong, no "T", how did I allow that to happen?

Altair

Bulova Benrus, Britix

Croton, Chaika, Columbia

DongFeng

Elgin, Eloga, Ellis, Enicar

Gruen, Gothic

Hamilton, Heliosa

Kulm

LeMarc, Lincoln Anker

Mido, Merkur

Nivada Grenchen

Omega

Pook, Phoibos, Prim, Pulsar

Roamer, Rensie, Raketa

Sallan

UTI

Voumard, Vostok

Wyler, West End, Wittnauer, Welsbro, Westclox, Waltham

Zodiac, Zvezda

I will put up pictures of my Rensie and Enicar. They share the distinction of being brands that are their founders' names spelled backwards.

Wow, as always exceptionally curated! These are not just checked alphabetical boxes, but really interesting and incredible pieces from these brands.

Killer collection, wow! Impressive for sure.

Fun post and it goes without saying the obvious, that’s a hell of a lineup you have there.

That Chopard is 🤤 and imagine if they made the new Glassbox Carrera design with your color dial. I’d open my checkbook for my first Tag in 15 years.

Thank you for posting.

I need that B. How where and when can I get it. OMG, I am going to lose some sleep tonight.

That is the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC HODINKEE Limited Edition of 250 (2020) collaboration (ref. 5008-11B30-NABA). Case size of 40.3mm.

You should check with @JaeBust ...I think he has a gorgeous version of this reference. He may be interested in selling his. It is an awesome watch.

It would make a "fit" but I really think it would still be a "T" in the catalogue and not a "Q".

I have a number of Timex in the collection and think they are a great brand. All else fails, it could fill the bill.

Thanks!

Is Q all that's missing?

Thanks - saw that brand but it looks like only homage style watches. I was looking for something more distinctive as a brand.

How do you put gifs in chat?

Dang Mel! That is nuts you have a collection that has ever letter in the alphabet! How many watches total do you have in your collection? Did this idea just randomly hit you one day?

Save the gif to your computer or to your phone photos and then upload in your comment.

I have more than I would care to admit 😂

I was bored one evening and thought it would be fun to see how many letters of the alphabet I had already covered by the different watch brands.

I was even appalled at how many were in the collection 😉

But out of that exercise I now have an "X" (Xezo Air Command) and just the "Q" remains...

Yes - just haven't pulled the trigger on an ALS yet.

I have been close a couple of times, but something holds me back.

ALS are definitely top tier quality even if they don't retain their value.

Finally found my "Q"...

The Quasar Starlight...
