Never been that much into watches really but been perusing this morning and found one I really really like, which never happens with wrist tickers. I think its about £1000 so I'll likely never own it but its caught my eye.

I have this and I'm never getting rid of it

 

Such a reliable watch

I've had this watch for 9 years for refereeing and also exams etc. You just can't beat it.

 

 

Prefer the version with the illuminator to be fair.

 

Main reason I'm posting here though is because I find a few of you guys inspirational, I love seeing people achieve such things and I hope to have a nice watch collection one day. I plan to buy myself a pre-owned Omega or Breitling Colt when I finally graduate.

Fellow addict here, or WIS (Watch Idiot Savant) as we're called. Was an aspirational purchase to get that Grail watch. You can't get any better than a Patek. I had to offload 2 Omegas (Planet Ocean & Aqua Terra) and my Milgauss GV to help fund it. 

 

That Air King is very nice, much better then the modern line which I do not like. What else ya got in your collection?

 

My favourite watch is my beloved Navitimer World, newly on a blue croc.

Picked up an absolute gem yesterday. A 1964 Omega Constellation with the legendary 561 moment. With original box and papers. Unmolested bar a new strap.

Just started reading back over this thread and wished I hadn't, I'm literally turning green with envy here.

 

Nice purchase.  :wub:

I'm resurrecting this thread for a bit of watch porn. The Patek Philippe Calatrava, rail dial in white gold!!

I'll just quote the one pic. Absolutely beautiful. I would love to own a Patek.

Perhaps one day.......

That Omega still has original box, papers and receipt from 1964 !! was a bargain when I picked it up. It's currently on loan to a close friend back in Dublin. Refuse to sell it to him despite him willing to pay me more than I paid. 

 

Risso has some lovely pieces too, a very nice Glashutte Observer

 

 

My last state of the collection was the below (the 2 on the right, the Omega and Milgauss are now sold and Patek added)

Cheers, it's a real stunner and freakishly thin. The best thing about Patek is 99% of people don't know them or what's on your wrist unlike Rolex, Omega etc... But I know they're the greatest watch makers of them all. It's very much a watch for me. I could look at the movement for an eternity, the skill involved to make these.

That Patek is absolutely magnificent you jammy git.

 

I need to move a few pieces on.  My latest addition is the Omega black ceramic Dark Side of the Moon, which to my mind is a great piece http://www.omegawatches.com/collection/speedmaster/moonwatch/presentation/speedmaster-dark-side-of-the-moon

 

I've also got a stainless steel Daytona (white face), a Breguet Marine and a Glashutte Original, which cover most bases.  The pieces I'm going to sell on are a Breitling Navitimer, my earlier Omega Speedmaster, and a Nomos Glashutte Ahoj.  Don't think they'll get me into Patek territory though....

I'm a watch addict aways have been, I own far too many.

 

My favourite is this little beauty which I have loved since the day I got it, its a 1971 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air King.

That's fantastic.  Go on, give us a full run down of everything you own......
