The collection has grown since then, considerably. But this is the only group shot I have right now.

I haven't added any watches to my collection for over a year. I guess you can say I'm kind of out of the game. As a matter of fact I sold a Speedmaster to buy new tires for my new truck. Anyway, here's my collection...

I gotta say Andrew, I've always loved your collection. You have some real classics from the vintage Omegas to the Rolex's and modern Omegas to that Monaco. Very nice.

Just downsized the individual photos and pasted them on a blank format.

Other than a beater quartz, an old Hamilton chrono and a couple of pocketwatches, this is my whole collection. I can fit them all on one arm, in case I need to make a quick escape. :mrgreen:

Just applied some Snow-Proof Leatherproofing to these straps. Mainly to darken the browns and punch up the gray shark.

Okay heres a few pics ....I thought it would be interesting to know how many pounds of Watches I had after a comment I made a few days ago and as long as I had all of them out...................they're weighing in at 16.5 pounds! If I wore all my watches while diving I wouldn't need a weight belt with a 7mm wetsuit and a 5mm vest! :roll:

I guess I have to get around to making one big pile.

Red, your collection is amazing! can you please tell me about the first pic? the larger watch on the far bottom right, and the "PADI" blue one to the left of it.

That Breitling scubapro is my latest grail! :drool:

The larger one on the bottom right is a Scubapro Titainium Quartz and they can be had for $200.00 -$350.00 on the bay, there is a closer shot on the bottom pic,second watch, bottom row. The PADI is an Orient GeneQua Kinetic movement, there is virtually no formal info on this that I could find but I was told there were very few made, 300 is what I heard but they're not numbered like a typical LE. I picked up the Scubapro Breitling and the Scubapro Tuna Can when I went to NY for the last WIS meet a few months back. The deals were already made prior but the pick up was at the meet.
