So although I don't post what I'm wearing every day I certainly view the threads and it's given me a good idea of what you folks currently own. I'll get the ball rolling here! Planning for another Breitling in 2021 but we shall see what my final choice is. What's currently in your collection? Anything in particular comes to mind as your next piece?

You've got an excellent collection, Baco Noir A little bit of everything and some great choices. That Heuer reissue is stunning! The distressed strap works perfectly with that piece. The Zodiac is in such good shape, good examples like that seem hard to come by. A neat history behind those divers. So much to appreciate about each one of those. The vintage Micky watches are pretty fascinating as well. I remember seeing a video of one being serviced and portions of it were quite complex.

Here’s my current collection. I don’t plan to add anything more this year but we’ll see. I’d like a mechanical field or flieger watch at some point. Being retired and locked down I find I don’t have the opportunity to wear the nicer pieces as much as I’d like. For the most part, if I’m working in the yard or around the house, I’m wearing my AW6 or one of the Seikos.

Very nice, Ron! That's all anyone could ever want! How's the timekeeping these days? Here’s my current collection. I don’t plan to add anything more this year but we’ll see. I’d like a mechanical field or flieger watch at some point. Being retired and locked down I find I don’t have the opportunity to wear the nicer pieces as much as I’d like. For the most part, if I’m working in the yard or around the house, I’m wearing my AW6 or one of the Seikos. That's a nice collection you've got there, Mark! Seiko and Casio seem to be staples in many collections. Despite the other brands I own these two will always have a special place. That looks like a nice watch storage case. I'll inevitably end up getting something similar to help with storage. muckymark - CHIP and I are in the same boat. It’s the AW most days For me it's either my Protrek or the Citizen Skyhawk it seems. The features / functionality appeal to me so I can fully understand why the Apple watch would be the go to on many days. Nice collection, Chip! It's nice to see you kept a lot of the ones around I remember seeing years ago. Quite a few new additions too, it seems. Please tell me a bit more about that Zodiac! I don't recall ever seeing this piece before in general.

Rommel, The timing is spot on every month now or maybe a few seconds a month fast. I wind the watch now every Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and Friday.

I remember your accuracy reports a while back and it's great to see this piece keeping impeccable time. For me after about 3 years of daily use the Rolex watches I've owned started to stray a tad with regards to time keeping. I've heard many stories though where some went a VERY long time without service and they still kept decent time.

lagunatic I can certainly see why! Easily one of the most versatile pieces in existence. How many years have you owned this watch thus far?

Here we go! This doesn't include: 3 watches currently for sale + 2 watches on loan to a friend (Sub 14060 which he is deciding whether to buy or not and FOIS) If my Sub 14060 sells, I will likely sell the PAM 673 and use those funds for a Rolex SD43 Rolesor. I have loved this watch ever since it was released. Gives the regular stainless steel diver a bit of frivolity. Unique in the dive watch world, no other brand does this robust a dive watch, with this depth rating, in anything with gold. Gotta love it! And I do have to admit, I always feel my collection must have a Rolex. I have, and always will, stand by the Rolex brand regardless of all bad press it may get:

lagunatic I do envy you in a lot of ways, having a 1 Watch Collection! That is my goal but will not likely happen for a few years.
