Post your current collection! - SOTC Thread

I looked for a similar strap for a few months ago and also found this one: https://www.steveostraps.com/straps-2/top-end-stuff. Scroll about 2/3 of the way down or just ctrl+f for "herringbone." I was going to recommend the 210 East Oak site that @atdegs mentioned, but I did not know they went under.

Thanks, guys! And to return to the topic of the thread, I have quite a few watches in my current collection but the favorites today are the SKX I’m wearing now, my Hamilton Elvis80, Intramatic, Mondaine Gottardo, black Bulova Lunar Pilot, and this guy.

Nice. Which Intra-matic?

The silver dial 38mm. I’ve had it for a few years and don’t think it’s one I’ll ever sell. I love the size, the legibility, and the Mad Men vibe.

That one is real hard to bead for 5x the money.

Phew!!! Time to sell a few of these off.

I really like the Poljot if you have any more close-up pics to post. Any thoughts what you'll get rid of?

[Dub Rubb]

The Poljot for some reason is a keeper. Even if I rarely wear it, it is just so cool. Especially the inscription. I also have the original papers(shown as a backdrop in some of the pics, signed and dated to 1981).

As of right now, the ones on the chopping block are the (used watches)scuba dude mods, the bagelsports, the FFF mod, the NTH Devil Ray,(the unworn watches) the Victorinox airboss, the STO samurai, the Tag F1 calibre 5, and the Seiko Shippo PR. That's just off the top of my head, but a purge may be coming soon.

I told myself a while ago I would stop at 5. That did not happen. I do plan on getting rid of a couple of these to consolidate. I have my eye on a 556a.

[img][/img]

Starting bottom right to left:
Squale 1521 matte blue - traded a Chris Ward 300 and a Zelos Mako for this one.
Chris Ward Malvern 595 - gift from my wife
SARW025 - my first major purchase after getting into watches a couple years ago
Khahi Mechanical - everyone has to have one at some point, right?
Khaki Aviation 38mm - a really good watch that I don't wear enough.

Top right to left:
Square atomic G Shock - A Nordstrom Rack find thanks to BostonCharlie
Hamilton Khaki quartz chrono (H764120) - a recent ebay purchase, I believe from the early 2000s
SND365 - impulse purchase on r/watchexchange
Bulova Marine Star - my parents got me in high school, around 1999 I think.

The Christopher Ward and Hamilton Khaki look like keepers to me. I also really like the Vratislavia. Have you ever looked into getting the Elgin working?

I am definitely keeping the Christopher Ward, as it was a gift from my wife. The only other one I will probably never sell is the SARW. I am just too attached to it.

I flipped the Vratislavia pretty quick after getting it. Sort of regret it now, though. It was a really quality piece, especially for the price. The Elgin needed a mainspring. I found one local guy who said he had or could get the part, but he wanted $300 to fix it. Since I bought it on ebay for $46 and didn't want to sink in $300 more, I just ended up unloading it for $50. Thought about keeping it for decoration and/or a day down the road when I was willing to allocate the money to fix it, but I very much believe that watches are meant to be worn. So I sold it to someone on r/watchexchange who was going to fix it.

Just snapped this tonight.

I think I've put together a nice little collection with a watch for just about every occasion. All mechanical except the Seiko kinetic and Mondaine. The Mercer is the only hand winder.

A couple Hamiltons, a couple Glycines including the awesome "Costco" sub, a vintage Seiko for dress situations and of course a Seiko 5 on NATO! The yellow Croton was a $60 pawn shop find and happens to be running a 2824. The Ball is the latest addition, a grey market steal that is turning out to maybe need a little help from a watch maker to be tip top. The Mondaine is fun little watch with tritium and a big date which I love.

I don’t have the pic of my Gshocks on this phone....

A quick family photo of my Casios on natos. The black square and the 6900 are sporting Sporkboy's awesome 22mm adapters. The 6900 is the latest addition. I'd bought the deal and didn't know what to expect. Despite its large size and lack of features there's something charming about it. I'd bought the 22mm strap as a gift for a German friend of mine but I guess he won't get it after all -- I really like it on the 6900 + adapters.

I recognize this strap. What was it? Aguis trading or something? I found the HUISABH deal when they were closing down. Sad too, as it was the only true "San Jose Sharks Teal" strap that I had come across. Looks awesome on that G!!!!

Here is mine
