New Member - First Posting and Pics of Collection....

[Archie42]

Hello!
I have finally signed up with this forum after lurking for so long.

Although I love many watch brands Rolex has a special place in my heart.

The photo here shows our (me and the wife) travelling set of watches for when go on holiday. Our collection fluctuates between 8 and 12 watches.

The pieces are:-
TOP ROW - Ladies 18K Gold Cartier Series
BOTTOM ROW - Explorer II white dial on a bros Italian strap, Patek Philippe 5107 in white gold, Omega Speedmaster Pro (861 movement).

I have a few other watches - Vintage VC Dress watch, Rolex Explorer 1 14270, Rolex Ladied 69174 (Wife was wearing this when photo taken).

I love my 2 Explorers - 16570 and 14270. I think these are present day bargains and fantastic sports pieces! My wife's 69174 is classy yet still waterproof and great for a busy lifestyle with 2 young children.

My holy grail piece is my Patek 5107 - sorry, was seriously thinking of a steel Daytona or this Patek at the time - but the Patek won out with its display back.

thanks for sharing - you (and your wife) have a very versatile collection and interesting mix of old and new... two thumbs up!

are you currently considering adding any additional watches to the flock?

Love the simple classic Patek, now I see what you went for that instead!

I am always considering other pieces! I would love to add a Diving watch - Sub no date? or Breitling SuperOcean.
Sub is a little bit too hot at present.....
I basically have 3 modern and 3 vintage mens pieces.
MODERN - Patek 5107, Explorer I 14270, Explorer II 16570
VINTAGE - Omega Speedie Pro, Vacheron 6405 and I need 1 more watch..... thinking of a minty Steel 1601 Rolex!!!

Moonwatch

Wow. Killer great.

I have finally learnt after a long while that "LESS IS MORE". So yeah, good choice on the PP.

But for some...MORE IS STILL MORE! Haha.

As long as the design of the dial with multiple functions are not too cluttered, I am still glad to have a crazy complicated watch.

All the best to you!

Cheers,
