Quite a bit of sacrifice to get the Pam.

Zitan,

Not really a sacrifice. I guess it is time to rationalise. It was not in the plan to get the Panerai. It just came about, so traded some of the watches (not all) for the Panerai.

wah.....pengsan....

Just to take them out to share some luv will at least use up a couple of hours.. Salute hobbit..!
thanks for sharing. Really amazed at the collections.

Bro, with so many watches, do you keep the purchase/made dates of the watches just so that you can send them for service when the time is due?
For automatic watches, how do you rotate them on the winders? Categorise them or sometimes, just let it be awhile.

ah...I see Seikos, Casios, but why no Citizen watches, if I may ask...

Peiseh,

I have actually gone through 2 Citizen watches. Sadly both the watches are gone. Both have been sold (or traded). I still have a number of old Seiko and Citizen in a box, old and unused and in various state of repair and disrepair. :)

With regards to rotation, I do have all my watches data on a spreadsheet. I have the price, date purchase, from where etc. It is a pretty comprehensive spreadsheet. Most of my watches are not on winders, although I have 4 winders, able to wind 10 watches. I just pick out what I want to wear for the day (if I go out) and set and wind up the watch. All my watches are kept in the Hardigg StormCase.

The collection will thin down just to a number of brands. At the moment the brands confirmed are Panerai, Rolex, Tudor, Breguet, Breitling, IWC and Sinn. The rest are still on the chopping block, but might change when the time comes. Brands on the chopping block are (but not limited to) Omega (except the X-33), Longines, Precista, Hamilton, CWC, most of the Casio G-Shock (keeping vintage ones), most if not all the military watches and some other brands. I might even sell off the Marathon SAR and JSAR and even the MKII Stingray. Will see what happens in the next few weeks. Trades are also possible as there are 3 watches 'calling' out my name, 14060M, PAM00199 and PAM00219.

Noted.

Nice watch but I was looking at the more simple dress watches. Whichever they do cost a bit, I went asking around here and having a feel :) I'll aim for another Rolex and PP and see how that goes  :thumbsup:

Bro Hobbit, those on the chopping board, put at the Sale section, so some of us can buy, since you take good care of the watches. Do you???

siodee,

I will try and post them on the sales forum. However some of the watches are used and do show. Some are unused (no wrist time), hence the culling. The next batch will the military watches and I am not sure if there are any military collectors on MWF.

Hobbit, if you're selling some of your collection, would really like to see them on the sales section. You're letting go your Omegas?
