All hands on deck!

Decking... Watch hands...

Just thought I'd post up a new collection group photo, as it struck me that I finally have a rather handsome (IMHO ) collection once more, with a watch for almost every occasion (I say 'almost', as the 79090 needs a new Tropic-Style strap for Summer Wear, I still want to build my custom GMTIIC Prequel watch, as well as plans for a Rolex take on the Breitling SOSF) From every day beaters to suit and tie, from super-casual and camping to tattooing (plastic Sub is quartz so unaffected by the magnetism of the machine) I think I have all the bases covered

Out of curiousity, if these were gen (or closest equivalent for the fantasy builds), what kind of dollar value would the collection have?

PS This is what the rhodium DJ looks like when it's not flaring out

God TJ your tastes have changed a bit. I remember when it was all panerai. Now it is all vintage rolly stuff nice collection though

Not bad TeeJay. Very nice representation from the Tudor family.

I guess I finally grew up And many thanks as always, without your generousity, the 79090 and the Tudor DJ wouldn't be running With the exception of the 79090, Heritage and Pro-Hunter-esque sub, there's not much in the collection which would have been made after 1985

Thanks indeed, only a few more pieces to build and I think I'll be done I'd still love a 16800 and a 1665, but can't see myself ever actually wearing them, so they may get bumped from my plans

TeeJay - I agree. Your collection has become quite mouth-watering, so I think it is time to improve your picture-taking skills to do them justice.

Many thanks, that's very much appreciated I'm looking forward to my planned 6542-inspired custom GMT the most, as I think that not only will it fit in with the more 'vintage' aspect of the collection, but it will have a lot of my creative input, so will be a truly personal piece, and one I've had on a mental back burner for over three years now The surprize, is how much the Tudor DJ is vying for everyday beater status, it's minimal, simplistic and uncomplicated, yet it seems to be ticking all the boxes

Thanks, amigo, although none of them are anything compared to your 168000

I have to admit, I do like how that looks on your GMTIIc How is it in terms of drainage/drying? That's always been my least favorite aspect of NATO straps, compared to the rubber Tropic-style straps

It dries pretty fast when wet. And its not uncomfortable when its damp since it is braided, plenty of air.

I might have to consider one of those
