My Collection
This is my current collection with a few of my wife’s at the bottom. The Rolex Daytona 16520 is my prized possession. My dad bought it in 2000 and gave it to me a few years ago when he bought the current Daytona. I am in need of a GMT. Had a Rolex GMT II Pepsi in the 90’s that I traded for a Breitling Chronomat. HUGE Mistake!!

I love watches and I’m all over the place with what I enjoy. I’m also acknowledging that I have a collection sickness. I’m in need of Watch Owners Anonymous (WOA).

The Tudor is my daily wear. If it had a date window it would be perfect. That’s why I’m looking for a GMT. Don’t really love the new Black Bay Pro.
Really solid one man, really balanced i would say. In every collection there must be a Swatch jaja
And for the mistake, i would say it was not a mistake, i would take a chronometer for a GMT any day of the week.
The mistake was more financial than anything else. Although I did enjoy the chronomat for a few years.
Thanks for sharing your awesome and diverse collection! I'm also happy to see that Omega Seamaster. I think people don't value these as much as they should imho. I have one and I have no plans to ever sell it. It's such a great watch and one of my prized pieces in my collection.
I love that one on the bottom left!
That Zenith is 38mm right? Love it!

It’s 37mm. It’s the Chronomaster Revival Liberty edition. Only 150 made. I’m a huge USA edition fan and it has the same movement as my Daytona. It came on a blue fabric strap but I purchased the ladder bracelet to change the looks.
noticing the silver tudor in there too very nice indeed
🔥the bronze and brown brew in the top left - I was too slow on that one - such a good piece

Such a good micro brand. They make some interesting watches.

Yeah they are amazing - I have the blue retromatic - really liked it though I may be moving on 🤔 but it won’t be my last brew that’s for sure!

That is a great looking watch. I am sure that the cup of coffee in the background is there on purpose.

Cool to see. Thanks! I have that red G-Shock. And I met someone who has that watch for the blind (he wasn't blind). He let me touch it. I might want me one.
I'm also looking for a GMT, and I love me a Black Bay 58, but I'm also not taken by the BB Pro. The bezel is too stark, or industrial, or utilitarian, or something, and it doesn't rotate. If it had a more BB58 aesthetic with a rotating bezel, I'd be all over it. I think I want me a BB58, probably the bronze, but like you I want a date (which makes us philistine of savages, I suppose).

Damn right it was hahaha - every watch comes with a lifetime supply of Folgers
Very nice collection.
I have that same EOne Bradley. Did you join the original Kickstarter or buy it afterwards?
The Zenith is my favorite in your collection. Super cool watch.
What a collection! To me, that zenith chronomaster pops out of your collection! Never really saw that edition before and it looks amazing!
Great collection! The Zenith is the one I lined the most!

Joined the kickstarter. Such a cool concept. Came across the Zenith in an article and found a brand new one at Cellini in NYC. I was shocked because it was limited to 150 pieces and was released almost 2 years earlier. Artis, the salesperson, gave me a great price and I had to have it. I love the color of the dial. It looks better on the strap it came with.

It’s a mid sized quartz model that I bought about 20 years ago for about $400. Still have the box and papers. No plans to get rid of it. It was the first watch I bought after my daughter was born.

Yeah, I was part of the Kickstarter too. I think it was the first thing I ever Kickstarted (and have subsequently gotten into board games of which that industry uses Kickstarter a lot, so there have been many more since). I agree with you on both fronts. The EOne is super cool (although I rarely wear it as I have yet to find a strap I like on it) and the Zenith is a special piece. You are lucky to have it.

I have my eyes set on the Tudor Pelagos FXD, something about it I just love. Probably the fixed lugs.. I'm a HUGE Bertucci fan..

Well it's a great watch! I hope you pass it down to her. I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
Great collection with plenty of diversity. Love the family connection with the Daytona, too - takes it well beyond any cultural superficiality. That Zenith rules!
Interesting collection. I bought my wife a Mondaine for Christmas. I only recognise about half of the others but I'm a new boy to watch collecting. All the best from a fellow Craig across the pond!
