Updated collection

Recommended Posts

Chiquita Fanjita

The wife was watching some shite on the telly, so thought I’d go and have a tidy up of my collection.

Was surprised how much it has changed in the last year with all my PAM’s and a lot of my AP’s gone now. 

Still got my Montauk and RG Themes as well as my custom PAM build in a separate watch box, but thought I’d share the majority of my new stuff.

Nice! I love seeing collection shots like this.

What I do is start imaging my outfits for a night out or casual - and which watch (in your collection) would suit that wardrobe. Keeps more $ in my bank when I just imagine ;)

I bet you own minimum 6 watches this time next year

Thanks. It’s a gen box complete with gen manuals etc.

The Rolex box is a rep box however.

Thanks.  Be warned though, some gen boxes sell for crazy money.

So here's a funny story...

I get to work the other day and my workmate tells me that a client had thrown out TWO Omega watch boxes. (No doubt gen, client is a heart surgeon, drives a Porsche and we just moved him into a $6M house on the beach)

Workmate said he put them aside for me because he knew I was into watches and the boxes looked "really, really nice"

Anyway I managed to control my erection and casually walked out to where he said they were to be greeted with, well, nothing.

These fucking things just vanished, no one seemed to know anything about them, but obviously someone did.

No one else at work gives a fuck about watches, but someone must have seen how nice they were and probably decided they could turn them for a profit.

Needless to say I was (am still) rather disappointed, actually pissed off would be closer to the point.

You win some, you lose some

Awesome. How's the Fifty Fathoms? I know they're relatively large, but is it still comfy? I have thin wrists, but very flat, so have no problems wearing PAMs and AP Divers. I guess it should be ok then? May have to grab one :D But there's so many other watches i like...damn hobby!

The BPFF is pretty comfy.  My wrist is about 7.75"ish and it wears quite nicely and pretty comfy.  I've had loads of PAM's and AP's too and this is much the same, albeit not as bulky just with a larger face.

Just because your waterbed is adorned by black silk sheets, there's no need to slag my bedding :rofl: Your granny obviously has good taste mate :lol:

This is the collection of a discerning watch lover.

For me it hits the sweet spot in terms of size, enough to have variety but not too many to make regular rotation difficult.

I like the way you have picked "the best of" many different makers references.

My personal preferences are the Tudor, Breitling & IWC but really I like the whole curation.

Props to you mate & thanks for taking the time to share this update with us.

Thanks mate, appreciate your comments. 

There’s a few others that aren’t pictured and just waiting on my new strap arriving for my IWC.

Also got my eye on a few others to add to my collection ;)
