Lets see your Watches

Post by Hilly30si » Tue Oct 27, 2015 7:56 pm

Hi Guys
I cannot see a watch thread so thought I would start one. After cars watches are my biggest hobby and I have spent thousands on them some of it wasted and some not. My collection is down to four now which are these beauties.

My first Rolex and it will never leave me

Also, who has the hairiest arms on the forum? The bar has been set pretty high so far.

Hmmm been a few watch threads we've even tried 'cheap' watches but that soon turned into something.

I'd take up a page at least with pictures due to the collection in this house is far too big from Vintage Rolex Sports watches, to current models subs, GMTs, Yachtmaster (the new YG and dodgy rubber strap one), breitlings, rados, JLC, IWC & APs.

Here are a few of the ones I have on my phone

Current:

Amethyst 997

Still Shy and retiring

Very nice collection there. My one regret was flipping my Pepsi GMT.

Technically it's a Coke but depending on what I'm wearing it's usually changed to a Pepsi. All GMTs are gaining like nobody's business at the moment. They are just a lovely watch.

My most recent addition Oris Williams F1 team. Its actually around 10 years old so from when Williams was BMW Williams F1 which was part of the appeal of it for me, also got a very good price

Probably some fake ones too :lol:
