SOTC

Not done an SOTC for a while, so here's the current collection.

This is about my 4th G-Shock - finally got one that's not too big

Image

My first Zenith, picked up last year & I love it

Image

Reacquired this from the person who bought it off me 9 years previously

Image

Took me a while to track one of these down in the right condition, for the right price

Image

Probably the last watch I'd sell - The 16600 is just perfect

Image

Quite a rare version of the FF. A much better size for me than the regular version, although 42mm would be even better.

Image

I only have the PRS18 auto (on the left). The COSC Quartz version got almost no wear

Image

Another requisition

Image

This was a cheapy & has served me really well as my holiday watch including the epic motorcycle tour of Vietnam I did with my eldest son in 2018

Image

I had a few of the re-edittion Turtles, but this one has stuck

Image

I'd been without a Speedy Pro in the collection for several years before picking this mint condition one up

Image

This was a slightly over-list replacement for one I (foolishly) sold a couple of years earlier

Image

I've had this little gem for a while. The dial and hands are just beautiful.

Image

I'm a big Sinn fan - had all these a few years now

Image

Image

Image

Image

Just about the last watch IWC made that I really like

Image

The Autavia's

Image

The perfect (for me) version of the Orfina PD chrono

Image

I paid strong money for this at the time, but that's irrelevant now. It's a full collectors set including case back stickers & the original purchase receipt.

Image

The only watch I've ever had made for me

Image

A lovely un-restored 6309 - 7040

Image

Three I keep for sentimental reasons

Image

Image

Image

I've just sold a Seiko Samurai & have a blue dialled Sinn U1 on the way.

These days I try to keep to one in / one out, but deciding which to let go gets harder all the time.

Whew nice collection...I am wishing I overpaid for a red sub a few yrs ago. Not to mention the collection of autavias...I have to ask do you wear all of these? A few of them were so perfect I would be scared to enjoy them.

Apart from the last 3 they do all get worn, albeit some more sparingly than others.

Always good to see the latest 'state of' from Andy - whatever the model they are always pristine examples!

My collection is just going to sit in the dark in the closet. Holy crap there’s some nice stuff there.

Cheers again.

Not sure I'd call the 6309-7040 pristine though ;)

I was wondering who was hoarding the Autavia's. Nice hoard Andy!
