Altair, you have an amazing collection of watches, I'm salivating over here! You have a collection that I'd kill you for, I mean kill for, lol. In all seriousness, you have great taste and in the event that you completely go insane and just want to give all of your watches away, let me be the first to offer my name to you to just pass them along to me. Congrats!

That is one great collection Altair. :thumbsup: I own one piece that you have (and soon to pick up another), but I'd like to own a good 4 others that you have!!! Namely the AP, the JLC, the BI and the SDDS.

A superb collection all round. :bow:

Altair,

Stunning pictures which must have taken some time and care to produce, thanks for sharing them!

My problem wondering what watch to wear on a daily basis now drifts into insignificance :bow:

I love them all!

Davey

It's all been said, what a collection!

I really love the JLC, DSSD, Seiko and AP. I really want to go and buy another watch now.

Great pics.

Thanks for the comments guys. I have to say I am very happy with where the collection is but I think I need to do a few tweaks :wink: namely selling my TT Chronomat and Railmaster, and adding a Navitimer (probably a World, though maybe a 125e) and picking up the new Patek Nautilus annual calendar, what a watch!!! Probably will pick up a black themes one of these days too on bracelet. But nothing for the next few years! (who am I kidding :lol: )

Great choices there Driver! All amazing watches and keepers in my book. The JLC is unique, finely finished, functional, and lively. The SDDS is just a monster of a watch with that built like a tank feel and yet looks beutifull at the same time, finest watch Rolex ever made IMO. Now the AP is just a near perfect watch, you can refer to my orgasmic review for more :lol:

As for the BI, as much as I had initially thought it was akin to the BP, I have to say they are completely different watches! Sure they have the same exact movement and very similar dial layout, but the cases, indices, hands, and dials are completely different and when on bracelet, the BI really gives a very unique IWC flavour to the collection. Plus the brushed work on the bracelet matches that on the case very nicely I must say! Gorgeous combo. I had done that picture with the BI and BP next to eachother specifically for the purpose of showing how different they really are.

But I have to say, I am a little surprised you had not listed the 233 or 311 :wowzers

It doesnt matter how many watches I own, the 233 is always my favorite and will always remain as such!!! My favorite watch of all time!!!!
