My full collection as promised :)

Been promising to share my collection, well I finally got them all together and here it is...

I was going to go write a story about the collection blah blah blah and what order I bought them in - long story short I can’t be bothered...

Hope you enjoy them :) (and it doesn’t get lost in the crazy hype of a new hulk with a black dial *yawn*

So I’m probably going to be asked which is my favourite.. really hard question. I wear the white dial sky dweller the most and have for some time. It’s a fantastic watch. Then obviously I have the gold one - absolutely spectacular, however I feel sometimes it’s inappropriate for certain situations. Then I have the white gold meteorite day date which is easily the most beautiful watch I’ve ever owned and I highly recommend it to anyone on the fence about a meteorite dial.

As you can see not a big fan of colour - so not looking for suggestions. Really don’t care much for the hyped up models I buy what I think are the nicest watches.

However more than happy and welcome any suggestions about any watches or happy to answer any questions anyone may have.

Next on my list is a PP 5711R on bracelet. However I have decided I don’t want to sell any which I really would need to do to afford it so I’m going to leave it for a while (probably not long at all eventually ha).

Not really interested in any of the new offerings if I’m honest. The only other watch I think I would like now is a submariner date which I don’t have, obviously I have the 116040 and I believe the submariner is so popular because it simply is - the perfect every day watch. However I really miss the date on it so maybe will look to add the new one, which looks a tad better I might add.

I will also mention that all but three of them have been purchased grey.

I have sold along the way - a Daytona 116515 pink dial (didn’t like the oyster flex) and a dd36 (hard to wear again after having a 40).

Have a good day :)

Nice collection!

We have very similar taste in watches, however I’m a bit behind you on the Pm curve :)

You are missing a fun color. Add one of the new op41/36 pieces to round it out

I can see 4-5 watches I would trade in for a killer dress watch on a leather strap. I am thinking platinum Patek Chrono.

Nice collection, some big boy Rolex pieces in there!

Same here in that I couldn't care about hype, buy what you like, not what others like!

To be honest mate I don’t really wear it. It’s nice feels great on the wrist etc etc can’t fault it.

Just prefer others in the collection. Date is quite a must for me.

Amazing classic collection; makes some of the new OP41 iPhone colors look silly.
