I have been overly indulgent in 2014 and as a self imposed punishment, there will be no watch purchases in 2015. Thought of sharing some photos taken of my little humble collection with a newly acquired lens.

Nothing little about that collection. Thank you very much for sharing. Absolutely loving the Grand Seikos there.
-
That's a balanced collection there for all occasions. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:
-
i like your collection. well thought thru. just curious, which watch is your fav and why?
-
A very nice collection indeed.
"there will be no watch purchases in 2015" - I tried, but it is easier said than done ;D
-
Love the collection, every bit of it
-
Stunning collection instead of little, B&R looks mysterious..
-
Beautiful collection
Thank you for sharing. Looks like you have all the bases covered. A watch for every occasion.
-
Nice collection. Congrats :thumbsup:
-
A nice collection Yikkie :Cheers:
As you would expect, I guess, there is a "However" :P
There is only one watch in your collection that I do not like...can you guess which one?
Cheers

Thanks for the kind words guys! :Cheers: As for my favourite, it is a toss up between the GO Panomaticlunar and the GS SBGA105. I love the GO for the unique asymmetric dial layout with a fantastic big date complication and the wonderful finishing of the movement with hand engraved balance cock. The GS had me at hello with the dazzling finishing of the case, the mesmerising blue dial and the overall excellent fit and finish of the watch, which looks even better under a loupe!

Thanks Nobby! I would have thought that there were 2 watches there that you will not like since you are allergic to all things GS. :Laughing_on_floor:

You misinterpret my GS "issues" my friend ::)
I actually LIKE the GS brand, they make some truly wonderful watches...I like them so much, that I owned a beauty myself at one time. Would I own another...no way, after the problematic ownership experience I had with GS. So now I just adore everybody else's GS instead - it's cheaper :thumbsup:
The watch in your collection that I loathe, for purely cosmetic reasons, is that bloody awful black Phantom...change the monstrosity out for something more pleasing on the eye.

Hi Nobby. I was just kidding with you. Jokes aside, do give GS another try...you might like it this time... But if you don't, I promise to buy it off you at 50% off. ;D As for the B&R, it is a watch that I will keep for life as it is a wedding present from my brother. It is a fun watch to wear for more casual occasions and it does look better in the metal. :Cheers:

Hey Yikkie, you've got a well-balanced collections there :thumbsup:
Land, Sea, Air, Moon, leather, rubber, metal, nylon, chrono, GMT, PR, Moon phase, dress, diver, white dial, blue dial, black dial, stealth face, Swiss, German, Japan...etc.
I think your next watch would be.......precious metals? ;D
-
Nothing small about that! Very impressive collection, enjoy in good health!
-
Very nice collection you got there.
Your pictures are interesting as well. ;D
-
Fantastic collection! Seeing this make me shy :o
-
Thanks once again for the kind words guys! :Cheers: Don't think that I will add precious metals to my collection in the near future as I simply could not afford it. Will be nice to add a reasonable bronze watch to the collection as I am a sucker for the whole concept of patina. Might also add an AP Royal Oak extra thin when I hit 40 and finally call it a day.
-
Congrats on a beautiful collection. Wear them with good health.

Whadaya mean "little collection"!!!!!
You should list the GO Panomaticlunar as untouchable. That IMO is a real keeper.
