Recommended Posts

James.

Great 10,000th post and some amazing watches there James. Those pam builds are amazing and I bet when you were putting this together you've regretted selling some of them.... Even if trimming down was required.

 

Congrats!

 

Thanks mate, I never realized I'd collected so fkin many of these sinfully addictive little bastards! I still need to sell off some more ugh

Great backstory & pics.

Congrats also on achieving the mighty 10k.

Just wondering - what does Mrs. James think about all of this?

I know that Mrs. gtwc ain't at all impressed and that every so often a new bag, pair

of shoes, new hoover or washing machine has to get thrown into the equation.

Update with some recently acquired watches. With my Helberg CH6 (being repaired) and CH8 (ordered 6 hours ago) both Rainers are now full.

The halios is ETA, I know the 1st run were all swiss and I don't believe theyve done another since with miyota? Helberg is miyota, no swiss option unfortunately in either ch6 or ch8 :(

Picking a watch each morning is the best part of my day after a shower & a cuppa. Congrats on your collection, awesome pics ~ think i might get myself a bigger collection too

 

BUT ~ could you add a TAG for GEN & REP and maybe even GEN~Q or GEN~A if you have some QUARTZ or AUTO mix. Otherwise, amazing collection mate!!!

Re the qtz, no way jose. Mechanical timepieces are the only way to fly for me.

-latest update -

 

New additions are the GMT and vintage Longines. Over the next month will likely sell off around 5/6 in the 12 box to fund a vintave speedy and mm300 or alike to try to offset the douchebaggery associated with the GMTIIC :lol:

1 year on... sheeet... i have 4 other just sit in a box never worn. Gave the B&R 126 to my brother. Just these hateful eight in rotation. [Longines flagship heritage in RG, Graham Chronofighter 1695, nomos Orion, B&R 01-92 YG, RLX GMT2C, Vintage speedy, LW Okto, Omega CrPO]

 

Will probably turn 2, maybe 3 over to make room and upgrade further throught the year, before im actually content.

I'm just glad that I have a powerful PC, I bet 60% of the visitors browsers failed loading all those pics. :giggle:
