Working from home = playing with toys

Post by hoppes-no9 » Mon May 23, 2016 10:31 am

Taking a break from my work, decided to empty the box for a group photo.

BTW, I know I posted an SOTC a few months ago and said, naively, that I was satisfied with the collection and was no longer on the hunt. Thank you all for not calling BS on my utter lunacy. Half of those pieces are gone now and have been replaced.

Half the fun of this hobby is the hunt, trying new stuff, and figuring out what you like. I certainly do like the current lineup but know it will continue to evolve.

Beautiful collection. I really love that Senator Sixties chronograph.

Well, we have similar tastes for sure! I like all the watches you have, and I own three of them (ExpII, Speedy, PO).

I really want to add a Pelagos, need a Ti watch in my life.

That GO is beautiful!

Just curious,which one do you wear the most? Which one would you keep if you had to sell all but one?

Currently the Speedy is the one I wear the most, but if I had to keep only one, it would probably be the PO (the ExpII would be a close second).

I miss the Big Block every time I sell it. And yet, when I have it, I never wear it!

Awesome group.

The ExpII and Speedy get the most wrist time, but the Big Block and Milgauss are close behind. Wish I could double up and not look like a tool.

Did they ever offer the big block with SELs? I can't say I've ever seen one.

I guess I must be weird Dan, my "toys" look a hell of a lot different than yours do. And my watches are "tools" not "toys" :salute: oh come think about it my "toys" are also "tools" sometimes :oops:

Hope I didn't get your engine revved too much. I'm sure you can find a way to "relieve the pressure" if so... :bananastoner:

Fantastic collection. I would say an "exit" collection, but we all know that isn't possible.
