GC 4,451 Posted January 9, 2018 I love vintage and modern alike... Top row vintage: 1655, 1680, 6538, 16710, 6241 Bottom row modern: 16600, 16610LV, 114060, 116719, 116500 What I particularly like is the vintage/modern counterparts, all but the 1655 & 16600. I also added up the total cost of all the watches and mods done to a few... total investment $2660.00 I figure, for the price of one mid range Gen I’ve got a box full of great looking timepieces and endless hours of enjoyment wearing them. In my book, I win. Thanks for for letting me share GC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any plans for 2018? Absolutely no plans for 2018... I have covered all my favorites old and new. I got stuck for a while trying to find/mod a 1675 to my liking (read : driving @NCRich crazy with requests), but I fixed that problem with my last purchase of the 16710. There is a Ploprof in need of a gen Omegs box. If I stumble upon one for a fair price, that will be the only addition to the collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm beginning to think 8 years will not be enough... Let me be very clear, a LOT of watches have come and gone. And in truth, if my stolen Gen 14060 (got it for my 18th birthday) ever made its way back to me, I would sell all of these off... because in truth, a man only ever needs ONE watch. Till that day, these ten will suffice. Bon chance with the collection! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glaude 1,615 Posted January 11, 2018 Great collection GC ! But it's not quite clear to me, do you like Rolex ? (In more seriousness, do you ONLY like Rolex ?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I’ve thought about it and the only answer I can give you is this... I love all types of watches, bar none, but apparently all I wear is Rolex. Why? I have no idea. Maybe I'm a boring person, I wouldn’t argue that. Maybe because when I was a kid in New Jersey only Lawyers, Doctors and Mobsters wore Rolex. I’m from a working class family, Pizzeria & Restaurant, and wearing a Rolex meant you made it out of being “working class”... that’s the best I got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My taste is towards the dress watch, but to keep your collection fairly homogeneous what do you think of something from the Master Compressor series from JLC ?
