By-Tor Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 This is my collection at the moment. I have decided to keep it in less than 10 pieces. It's hard, but that's how I want it to be. THIS is how it looked back in July. I also have a Broad Arrow Speedmaster, which isn't in the picture (forgot it in my summer cottage). I might buy the new Sea Dweller, if the rep turns out to be awesome, but other than that... I almost consider my collection "finalized". At least until something really spectacular comes out. I have kept only the best of the best reps, and watches that really have stood against the test of time. I just counted that I have bought (and eventually sold) 16 Rolexes... and turns out that the GMT is the only one that I really, really want to own. My all watches follow the same pattern: They're sports watches. Quite boring and unimaginative, but those kind of watches I like to wear. Well, at least I have 5 different watch brands represented here. All of these reps are quite special to me, and I really, really enjoy wearing them all. My favorite watch: TAG Aquaracer Chronograph Day-Date 7750 (runner up: Omega Seamaster Chronograph 7750) The best rep: Breitling SFSO ETA My oldest rep: Omega "Bond" Seamaster ETA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertk Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Cool watches. Great choices for sports watches.......but you should add that VC overseas to complete it. Wear 'em well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobs1971 Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 If you're into sporty watches this is one hell of a collection. Thnx for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Excellent collection. It's definitely very ... black and blue steel sports watches. The Aquaracer stands out more than I'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 That's an awesome "heavy" collection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nice selection, most the best out of the box sports reps available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranium Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Maybe our dealers should start selling the "By-Tor Collection Special"! Your posts and pictures amaze me, By-Tor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millemiglia Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Excellent collection! (will you ever get the correct HS Explorer 2 back?) I recently fell in love with the Carrera "racing" version black dial and outlined silver subD. I don't know why but it would sit nicely in the above group...

Dunno about the ExpII... maybe I'll repurchase it, I really liked that watch. Too many Rolexes, too many flaws... By the way, here's a picture link to (most) of my departed Rollies + Stephane's Daytona. I like Carrera Racing too... and it would go nicely with my Link and Aquaracer. Perhaps... if a good member deal appears... @all: Thanks guys, appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Very nice collection. I don't see any leather straps, wonder if you tried some out, if this would add variety to the existing collection without needing to buy new watches. Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps... if a good member deal appears... @all: Thanks guys, appreciated! Wow! you certainly had your Rolex fix!! (loved the re-lumed sub with sexy superluminova ) The Explorer 2 in my opinion is the only other Rolex (after the Daytona) that gives you that "in your face" stainless steel impact. For SS lovers should be one of the first Rolex to get but it gets not justice usually :cc_confused: (and the carrera is underestimated too, specially the racing version where the thickness of the two bigger SubD is far less of an issue...)

RG I was thinking the same, but I think I remember BT does not like leather... Maybe he prefers Latex...? :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Latex? No, rubber for me. On my PO. Seriously, I don't like leather straps at all. They suit well on thin & dressy watches, but not that well with the sports watches (just imho). I'm a steel man... and besides, I love the special bracelets on these watches. Omega SMP bracelet is fantastic... and so is the Link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
