Love to see a watch like Avi-8 Tuskegee Airmen. You sir have taste. I don't know why but I think a Ball watch would make a nice addition if you like American watch making history.

dang that oysterquartz looks MINT, not a scratch on it. Nice

Where's the casio? :)

I purchased a new grey black bezel GMT Master II. Still waiting for additional links to come in so I can wear it (damn 8” wrist!). My next will probably be a Reverso or Tank Americaine. I really want a rectangular piece with a white dial. The Ball is an excellent selection but I’ve been leaning toward an RGM watch.

The OQ was my dads. He bought it new in ‘87 and only wore it a few times before giving it to me. It’s a special occasion watch so it’s in really amazing condition. I have box and papers for every piece in my collection including the Datejust that was a 16th Bday present in 1971!

Very nice collection, Len!

Woww great collection uff i love your Santos and your Carrera

·

Nice and varied collection 👌🏻Loving that Weiss (I know, other people will go for the Santos or either of the Rollies — I like the Weiss!)

·

Love the variety. Well chosen 👍🏽

The Weiss is an absolute excellent watch with one glaring exception: those straight lugs. They are sharp on the inside corners and it just doesn’t wear comfortably. The detail work otherwise is beautiful as is the decorated movement. It keeps exceptionally accurate time too.

That Carrera👌

Wie! I love the variety of both big and small brands, vintage and new. Have you ever owned an omega?

·

Nice collection, mate! Curious which one you enjoy most?

For me it would be the Santos or the Oysterquartz. 🤌

·

Great collection with some colour, any ideas for the next?

If by “enjoy” you mean wear most, then it would be the Tag Heuer. I am most proud of the OQ because it was my father’s.

Hey Len, you have an amazing collection that covers the spectrum of tool watches to dress watches. Love your Murph on a steel bracelet and your two tone Rolex and Cartier Santos.

I’ve yet to pick up the new GMT master II. Still waiting for additional links. I have an application in for the new Cartier Tortue monopusher. Doubt that’ll ever happen. Just not a big enough spender.

Both statements are valid. :)

That OQ is definitively special.

I have an old deVille Seamaster. It’s in another box. For some reason Rolex appeals to me more than Omega although I do lust for that new Speedy with the white dial.

The Murph is a lot of watch for the money. The bracelet is from Uncle. Together it’s a winning combo.

Nice brand coverage, which one gets the most wrist time?

·

Looks Super Len 👊🏻

·

Lovely collection🔥

·

Love it all, what a brilliant and amazing collection. From Cartier & role to stupid and avi-8 #brillaint

The Glassbox and the Murph get the most wrist time. Both are incredibly comfortable. Great size combined with short lugs.

Very dynamic collection. 👌

Can’t argue with that.

With some other impressive pieces does the Glassbox hold your attention?

I went to an AD to buy either a GP Laureato chrono, a Zenith ChronoSport or a JLC Polaris chrono. The Carrera wasn’t even on my radar yet that’s what I left with. That was about a year ago and I like the watch more now than when I first brought it home. It is a great timepiece and can stand with the best of them.

Thank you for the response. I have yet to see one in person and that is impressive about it came home. It ticks a lot of boxes on paper for me, so I was curious about the finishing or design levels of the case and so on, but I think if the appeal is there next to JLC and GP then it is amongst good company and sounds like a wonderful piece.

Congrats on yours and the continued enjoyment you receive from it. It’s certainly a cool looking piece from here!
