3 Breitlings, a Rolex, Omega, Fortis and Stowa with a pile of vintage Seiko, G-Shocks and a few others but my heart belongs to Micheal Kobold :love: Oh yeah... Panerai too and those 30 damn straps! :raised: If i had to do it all over there would be the vintage Submariner and GMT Master I that i owned at one time and maybe a couple more PAMS... :shrug: Back in the day i dreamed of owning a Rolex, Breitling & Omega.. guess things have changed a bit! :fro:

Over 25 right now...but Omega is tied for the lead (for now) with 3, Stowa (2), G-Shocks (3), Seiko (3)...and a bunch more

I am on the fence on a purchase right now...the power balance may shift soon!!

After three recent sales and the consolidation started earlier this year, I am down to 15 "nice" watches that are all in a single watch box (that until I figure out how to use $$$ from those sales). Definitely a Rolex guy at this point: 7 Rolex, 3 Doxa, 2 Seiko, 1 BP, 1 JLC and 1 Panerai. Am now officially without an Omega, IWC, Sinn, Kobold, Breitling, Bathys, MKII or some of the other brands for which I have had multiple watches. Been going back and forth the last week as to, among other, PP Nautilus or Aquanaut, AP Diver, Rolex DSSD and Sub C, JLC Tribute, Panerai and even a UN Diver. No triggers pulled, but leaning against any big splashes given the consolidation progress I have made (which means I will probably blow it all on something big soon).

Omega... I have had as many as six at one time.

I have only three now, but I love 'em. :love:

As per my man, Roar.... Omega, ftw!


Two Doxas on hand, too.... 300 and 750. And all you Doxa haters can blow me. :bird:

3 OMEGA and 3 G-Shock as I have reduced the size of my collection, the rest is diversified... I used to own 3 breitlings though and could see myself buying a 3rd again like the Headwind or 42 SO.
I have owned 3 benarus at once, but have one currently, soon 2 I think with the Sea Snake :)

Hmm, I have 1 G-Shock, 1 Orient, 1 Chairman Mao special (thanks again Paul!), 1 Illinois Watch Co. pocket watch, 1 Girard Perregaux, and 2 Omegas.

I guess Omega wins! :scratch:

Since I have mostly cheap-assed stuff, it's easy to put the big numbers up!

24 Timexes both vintage and modern so that is first, 20 Russian made Vostok, then I have 19 Seiko/Seiko Mods. There is a distant tie for 4rd with Citizen(7), Bulova (7), and 5th Tissot (6), and Heuer/Tag Heuer(6).

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
