I know this is going to sound silly

But I hadn't realised that I had a watch collection. It just sort of grew.



The direct left is the daily, A Seiko Sportura. Notice the damage above 12 o'clock and scratched bezel. My big bike spill still suffer after having my left knee and thigh driven over by a merc after coming off.

The Panerai Luminor Marina was a must have fake and I am hanging my head in shame but I couldn't resist it. Plus I'm not sure they even make a tourbillon version.

My holiday Citizen dive watch next and has also suffered over the years and has also been in a bike spill hence the scratches to the strap above 12 o'clock.

Then comes my prized possession my late brothers Cartier Tank Francaise Chronograph. It is the only thing I have of his as his ex-wife stripped his house bare and flogged the lot and I mean stripped it bare and then flogged the house on top of a hefty life policy she came out right on top. bh

I love wearing this to do's as I feel that I am taking him out for the day/night and for me it's nice. He went with me the other night to my firm Christmas do and it was commented on which again is nice. Anyway I will give it to his son when he's 21 but until then some 6 years it's mine and will be well looked after.

So there you have it my collection not as nice as some on here but kind of mean the world to me, and one I'm looking to expand when funds become available.

I feel some collection pics coming...

That Cartiers nice, especially with the sentimental value obviously. What are your thought for your next watch?

Like the Seiko, but can't stand fakes - sorry.

Panerai do make tourbillon watches though, so you could always save up.

nice little collection there pal,sorry to hear about your brother (r.i.p9 and the ex-woman bit is disgusting!!!

Panerai does make a tourbillon, but it's like $100k.

Ex's are almost always trash. Cherish the Cartier.
