HeavyKrush 16 Posted December 22, 2013 Ladies always first, here's my wifes... Let's start with a quick group shot... First one up is her genuine Omega Diamond Deville, with roman numerals. Purchased this watch (2) years ago as a Christmas gift. Sticking with Omega, next up is a rep Ladymatic. I've handled the gen of this watch and I can tell you there is not much if any difference in the quality. This version is quartz but there are higher priced rep's as an auto which matches the gen. Moving over to Rolex, next up is her Yachtmaster Rolesium 40mm. This is a mans watch but looks so sexy on her wrist. This is for sure her most worn watch of the bunch. I've purchased (2) more of these watches for her girlfriends as they loved it. This is the 21J version. Next Rolex is a rep gold Datejust floral with mother of pearl dial. This is my wifes only gold watch and makes out pretty often. The watch is very heavy and is rock solid quality wise. This one is also 21J. Next up is her rep Chopard Imperiale... Last up is her very first rep a Chanel J12 white ceramic. Resizing this bracelet was the most difficult wartch project I've ever completed. This is the quartz version. Now my collection. Watch box shot (I also have a (4) watch winder box not shown)... Gens first. Up first is my gen Longines Master Collection Retrograde. My wife purchased this for me last Christmas. It's really a fantastic watch and has great wrist presence. Right between a dress and casual watch. Next up is my tritium tubed Deep Blue Ops 100. This dive watch actually has radioactive indecise that glow without a light source. Pretty friggin' cool in a movie theater. Next up, a couple Vostok Russian divers... Next up are my Seikos. All these Seikos are automatics. Until about two,years ago I didn't even know Seiko mfg automatics now I own a few. Seiko is really a fantastic brand that tends to get overlooked but man do they have some great watches. First Seiko up is my favorite, my Orange Monster diver. This watch has cult status in the watch community. If you're looking for a diver without breaking the bank for the man in your life, this would be the one hands down. Next up is a white dialed Seiko 5. My wife purchased this watch for my birthday last year. Next is a Seiko Sumo. I recently swapped the bracelet for a strapcode endmill. This next watch is my only quartz. A Bulova Precisionist chronograph. Though this watch is a quartz it has a smooth sweeping second hand. Actually much smoother than even the most expensive Rolex. Also it's accurate to 10 seconds a year. This is also one of my few rose gold watches. Another Bulova.. Longwood... Now to my reps. My most recent acquisitions... Cartier Santos 100 XL or Large size. Fantastic watch and one of my current favorites. I'm amazed at how versatile this watch is... seems to go with just about everything except gym shorts. Next are my chronographs... First up is my very first replica watch a Tag Heuer Carrera caliber 16 day date. This watch was purchased about (3) years ago (that's how long it's taken me to pull this collection together). This is a fantastic rep and a must have for any chrono collector. The strap was hand made by myself from American gator. My last chrono is a Panerai PAM253 flyback. This one is on one of my hand made straps from black leather with blue suede back and blue thread. Now my rep divers. First up my rep Rolexes. Number one and my most worn watch is a Rolex reference 116610 ceramic submariner date. It's likely the most repped watch ever and a total cliché but it is a fantastic watch and should be in everyone's collection. Next is a Deepsea Sea-Dweller or DSSD. This one's an older rep model but a really fun and striking watch. Next is likely my second most worn watch, a vintage 5510 "Big Crown". The gen version of this watch can run $50K. I have it on a green zulu strap rather than the SS bracelet. It's a perfect match in jeans and a t-shirt. Next is my rep Ploprof. This watch has a bit of a cult following also. My local Omega rep would shit his pants if he could see the quality of this watch as it is also very good. I have it mounted to an after market SS mesh strap with Ploprof deployant. Now onto my Panerai's... First up is my second rep, a Panerai PAM111. This particular watch is mounted on one of my hand made American gator straps. Next up is my Panarai Arktos. This one is mounted to one of my hand made canvas/leather straps. This watch has a secondary GMT hand which counts off in 24 hour periods vs 12 hour. That's it for Panerai. Next diver up is my Bell & Ross BR-02. This is a solid rep mounted to another of my canvas straps. This watch has taken quite the beating and still runs perfectly. That's it for the divers. Last watches up are a couple dress watches. Cartier Santos 100. This one is mounted on one of my American gator straps. [/ur] Next up, a Rolex Date Just... I have (4) more watches on loan to my son. When (if) I get them back I'll post those pics. Cheers lads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
