Pesman 9,461 Posted November 3, 2023 As an update to an earlier post, I have now sorted my collection post my big sell offs. I have tried very hard to ensure I invested the majority of sale proceeds into the saving but old habits and addictions die hard so there may be some additions. I have also fallen for cheap and cheerful Chinese watches - which I am keeping separate. So here we go, comments welcome. Gens.... Much reduced but still a nice mix. From top to bottom, left to right: 1) Planet Ocean gen 1 - the PO as the tool watch it was meant to be and as worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. 2) Breitling Transocean GMT Chrono LE - running a rock solid B04 movement. Just beautiful with the best croc strap I've ever seen. Crashed in value unfortunately 3) Bremont Alt1-ZT WOS LE - 1 of only 30 Bremonts with this dial design. 4) Boldr True GMT Diver - a bargain at £499 from Geckota. Running the new Minolta GMT movement that I am sure will soon be appearing in reps. Great build and lovely watch. 5) Mido Ocean Star true GMT - a great brand from the Swatch stable but hard to source in UK. 6) Mido Ocean Star Chronograph - picked upon eBay for only £900, running a 7753 movement as a bi-compax 7) Omega Speedmaster 9300 - had this for around 6 years now and with the PO is never going anywhere. Just a shame its lost is smaller cousin to the sell-off. 8) Sony Blue Hole Diver - a lovely LE with an uprated movement and a stunning dial. I also prefer aluminium bezels! 9) CW Compressor- a genuine Compressor watch witha great dial. CW at their most innovative. 10) Hemel Type XX - the brother of the one sold to Russ. ST-19 Movement and 41mm. Who needs an Air Command? 11) Certina Heritage Diver - lovely and nicest version with black dial and gold hands 12) Deep Blue Daynight Diver - the beast. The ultimate tool diver. Built to survive nuclear war with tritium t100 tubes. It glows! It's a solid set and won't grow anymore. A mix of big, small, expensive and value... The Reps: These were seriously culled and reduced but the survivors are a solid mix... Again T to B L to R 1) GF Breitling Avenger Blue2) IWC BLUE Maces3) IWC Top Gun Ceramic with new hand set and gen 7750 ( thank you Simon)4) PP Nautilus Green - a free anonymous 'cheer up' Donation 5) Omega AT Green6) Clean Rolex GMT Master II - Recent weakening following my new found liking of Rolex7) Rolex Polar Dial Explorer II - CHS simply gorgeous and my favourite Rolex by some distance8) Rolex Submariner - recent M2M a low serial high quality version....so I am told9) Rolex Yachtmaster - £80 and brilliant 10) Rolex Daytona- 115600? Needs a bracelet I suspect but no idea of factory. Believe its a 7750 version so I trat with caution. Not worn often as I find it's too busy for its size. But as a completist I had to have one..11 & 12) Omega Seamaster 007 LE - No date and bought as a pair. Survived sell-off but much nicer without dates. 13) OHMSS Omega Seamaster 00714) Omega Speedmaster Snoopy15) Omega PO 2nd Generation 45.3mm 16) Omega PO Good Planet GMT- 43mm and gorgeous Inbound - yes I am still weak but only two.. Breitling Superocean LE orange Breitling Navitimer 1 41mm -Arrived with grey dial so Mary was going to send it back but I liked it so on its way.. FInally my cheapy Chinese! Now I like smaller watches a huge black hole of Chinese fantasticness has appeared before me...I just love these and will know thus box will grow... Currently: 1) Octopus Kraken FF Homage in blue2) Octopus Kraken NTTD - better than the original!3)San Martin BB chrono4) San Martin Pelagos GMTSeastern white Inbound....don't ask! Thanks for getting this far. I think it's now a nicely balanced collection that pretty much covers my tastes...and China will now feed the hunger!
