Not sure where them photos of the other collection went, chased off by one of you lot it seems!

Rich - I read the review of the 57 you posted and don't think I've ever seen such glowing praise! Went and tried the black one on and my god it wears nice. So slim and small on the wrist despite what the 42mm size would suggest. To the other poster who doesn't like "large dive watches" I'd urge you to look at this.

Not sure if my very finite funds would go toward this over some other options but it is very tempting!

I have a few 39mm watches that look and feel much nicer proportioned, and regularly wear an E1 in 36.
Will your collection expand or contract? smile

I have pared my collection down to 3 watches - Rolex, Breguet and Omega and I have to say feel liberated!

Incidentally (because I know you have one too), I wore a suit yesterday for the first time since February, the Sky Dweller looks very smart with formal attire.

Thank you. I'm aware that this year has been good to me and I'm a lucky sod!

Heres what I've managed to get together so far, hoping to add a 2020 submariner and a Tiffany dial OP 41mm in the next year.

Whether it’s the lighting, for me it’s the Milgauss that stands out amongst in the collection above.

Lovely! Great watches in that box already.
I'm down for an NDS when one comes available and a green dial 41 OP!

Good god richthebike & bazza,

I thought I had problems trying to keep my collection from breaching into the teens quantity wise,

It's like looking into the world of those hoarders type programmes on TV but of watches hehe

P.S. bazza - Loving the cheap older Seiko SQ Quartz on the first box hinge,
Just like me Mega money RJ, Hublot, Omega, or Blancpain .... No today will be my 1980's £20 Seiko .... And i'm happy as Larry (whoever he is)

Er yeah, that’s a bit of an ‘/end thread’ collection.

Lovely watches.

Can't agree. Yes, lovely watches, but the collection is only endgame for an individual.

I'm looking at Bazza's briefcase thinking I wonder if he's going to fill up a second one tongue out
