One of my biggest mistakes in watch collecting was trading my batman GMT like yours a few years back. If i see one at anything near a decent price I will buy another one. On the list at my AD for a new one. I think changing the bracelet was a mistake but I like both styles

It’s a great design. Just different enough from the standard watch without being too flash. They nailed the blue color as well. I was offered a new version by my AD but prefer the oyster bracelet. The new movement is very impressive though, a big upgrade on that front.

My ever durable Exp2 on for some yard work and reward for a job well done.

I'm wearing a Grand Seiko. Their finish at the sub US$10k level is unrivalled.

The old ones from the late 60s and 70s are gorgeous too.

Gorgeous!! My dad inherited a very similar Navitimer from my grandfather who was an amateur pilot.

Recently purchased a watch online without physically seeing it which I never thought I would do but given the watch craze a lot of watch makers are releasing limited editions online and I liked this guy...I like it but it wears much bigger than I thought given it’s 42 mm

I have used this watch for almost 20 years. I like it because it is very thin and it never needs to be set

Always been a huge fan of zenith watches. This is gorgeous ?

Never knew about the connection of oris and foh. Oris is one of those brands that does not get the respect I think it deserves. Anyways on to my collection, I have always loved watches. I remember backpacking thru Europe as a college student and made a point to buy a swatch in Zurich so we could say we got a Swiss watch in Switzerland. I still have that watch somewhere in my boxes. Now my three main watches
Rolex explore, I picked this up last year at harrods in London while on vacation. Wanted a sub but the lower prices in Europe made them impossible to find.
Omega Speedmaster “moon watch”, I fell in love in this watch during Apollo 13 film and wanted one since. When the startup I was working at announce it was going public my wife got the watch for me
Rolex sub w/date 40mm. This was just pure luck. I contacted a local AD and asked if they could add me to their list, totally expecting a call the next year. One week later they email me saying they have one available and if I want it. Maybe all the COVID flux or the rumors Rolex was updating the sub (which it did) help me land one on crazy time. So 2020 has not been that bad to me.

...easily 3 of the most classic/iconic watches of all time. The 214270 used to be my most worn watch but ever since I got the white gold pepsi that’s gotten all the love. Need to get the 214270 back in there.

Not in the same league as you gentlemen (and ladies) but here’s my entry level automatic (my target watch is a Datejust). Someday!

Just threw it on a nato today.

Just bought a new watch....

[Fuzz]

My folks just got me a Huawei GT2 Pro for Xmas. Now I can monitor my health, get notifications/SMS/emails, listen to my music, track where I'm going via GPS ... and so can the Chinese Govt!

This is one of the over 200 dial options.

[Bijan]

Got my first automatic about 2 weeks ago, a lowly Seiko 5, after a decade or so with two eco drives.
