SOTC 2023
Sorry for the long post! Will be breaking down by category further in the post. Some pieces are missing such as random timex/swatch 51s/inherited rolexs, cartiers etc that are in a safe.
First up are my dress watches: from L to R: Vacheron Malte Grand Classique, Patek 5270R, Patek 5205
"Simple steel watches": Grand Seiko SBGA011 (old snowflake with the seiko logo", Tudor Heritage Ranger (the older model on a camo nato), Rolex Datejust (not sure the ref number but its a 36 from 2005), Rolex OP 41 Celebration 126000-0009.
P.S: for those wondering how to authenticate a dial on the OP since these can be swapped, an easy way (outside of looking for errors with a loupe) is to match the last 4 digits (like 0009 for celebration or 0006 for turquoise/tiffany) thats on the white tag to the serial number of your watch.
Sports dive watches: Rolex Submariner 14060 "Swiss Only", Rolex 16610LV "Kermit", Rolex 116610LV "Hulk", Tudor Pelagos FXD --> Missing from these are my Pelagos 39/ BB54
GMTs: 16710 "Coke" , 126710 BLRO "Pepsi, 126720VTNR "Sprite", 116710LN (not a fan of any of the nicknames so lets just leave it at LN 😀)
Omega Speedmaster "Replica" (before i get blasted for a homage piece, Replica is the nickname of the watch not a literal replica" Turdor Heritage Chrono "Monte Carlo Blue" Rolex 116506 "Platona", Hanhart X the Rake 417, Breitling Avi 765 1953 re-edition
Lastly some picture of my BB54 and Pelagos 39 which are at RSC for a bracelet order, and being "borrowed" by my GF during her MBA.
Not quite sure what im aiming for in 2024 but will have my eyes on the Tudor releases (currently my overall favorite brand).
Current favorite watch: this is a toss up between my 5270R, Platona, and the Pleagos 39. which would be my 3 watch collection. If i had to choose just one piece but could have a smartwatch it would be the Platona but that is like 51:49 with the Pelagos 39. If i only could have one watch for everyday it would probably be the inverse ratio towards the Pelagos 39
That’s an insane collection. Wow!
That broad arrow speedy is beautiful 👍
Rolex Boutique: "Which color do you want?"
Jeff: "YES!"
🔥🔥🔥
That is an awesome collection my friend. Every piece is a cracker, congrats.

Stunning collection!
You need to create a museum!
Wow - some serious heavy hitters there. Platona is out of this world as is the 5270R. Congratulation Jeff
I was going to show my collection but now I don’t wanna. 😔😉
Beautiful collection hopefully you will enjoy them for many years to come a fantastic bundle …!! ⭐️💯⏱️🔥
The first Patek is 😍
I was going to show my collection but now I don’t wanna. 😔😉
I feel your pain 😂 after seeing that collection there’s no more competition.
What a beautiful collection Jeff!! I love all those GMT-Masters. I hope to one day get the call for all those Sub’s and GMT’s. I’m the kinda guy that wants all the variations of a watch on offer. I think you are a bit similar to me in that way. I hope you have a wonderful New Year’s, and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2024! Cheers 🥂
You've got more Rolex's than the AD's 🤯
Amazing collection 👏🏻👏🏻
Just give me the pelagos, ranger and grand seiko and I would be a happy boy.
I think you need a Rolex.
Now that is my type of collection... So many guys on here have these big watch boxes and no Rolex...
You gotta have Rolex, I don't care what haters say, they make the best watches... Love your LHD
I have a few Rolexes, a Panerai, Grand Seiko, I'm past hoarding cheap stuff, I still have a lot of entry level stuff that never gets worn .. but I really love that Hanhart Chrono, how do you compare the feel in hand, solidness, build quality in that watch to stuff like Rolex?... Kinda want to get one in 39mm
Yes! Awesome collection! Happy New Year!
Love the copper Hanhart 417 in between those “big boys” This german company is an absolute killer and very underrated. I had the pleasure to speak to the ceos and watchmakers at a local watch fair in Germany and the guys are also super nice and passionated about their craft.
What an insane collection. You have taste.
