Had an itch and since I couldn't land my play watch this week I had to go for the Avenger...picked up a brown croc and a black croc with it so I can have multiple looks. I passed on your fishy because I had that silver Avenger on my mind.

Nice collection!

What kind of winder/case is that? I'm on the hunt for a good one....Thanks

Thanks.

That's an ace-timer quad winder. I do NOT recommend it :!:

I do not like winders that hold two watches on one head, the crown rubs on the case of the watch next to it causing micro scratches. Also, the watches are too heavy for the cheap Chinese motors and they become very noisy after only a few months. I now use two brookstone quad winders, they're really good and very quiet..and very affordable at $199. Since they don't have a proper rest setting my buddy told me to plug them into a light timer which was a great idea; so I have the winder on for 14 hours a day and it rests for 10 hours. Works like charm.

First, beautiful watch set, also the past watches must be hard to look at. You have had some very nice watches pass through your hands over the years. Nothing against what you have now but I would not have thrown any of your past
watches out of bed. Second, great idea with the winder. Do the Brookstone winders have a reverse setting or are they on and in one direction? I currently have a Wolf the will do both directions or either one or the other. Beautiful collection, get some close ups of the individual faces, I would love to see the details.
Thanks for the post, Best, Frank

I really like where this collection has ended up. Some incredible choices in there!

Great collection. It has certainly changed quite a bit over a relatively short period.

Agree that every collection needs a Navi, but as formthe second missing watch, I would go for something with a moonphase instead of the SO II. I think the SO II will get lost in that group.

I forgot you had the JLC MCC. How do you like it? Any negatives?

Thanks for the post, Best, Frank Thanks Frank...I'm going to pick up a macro lens for my Nikon D90 and hopefully get some good closeups. As for the brookstone winder, it will wind both clockwise and counter clockwise or both directions. It will also go from 650 TPD all the way to around 3000 TPD. The only problem is that it doesn't have a rest setting which I fixed by plugging it into a $5 light timer.

Thanks for the compliments. A white dial navi Olympus would be ideal. I wish Stefan's was still available. I think a yellow abyss would fit in as my weekender.

I think that your collection has gotten much better, well better might not be the right word, but I like it more. You have a lot of diversity in it and you have something for every occasion.

I forgot you had the JLC MCC. How do you like it? Any negatives?
