Mr Boag is the watch guru.
I've slimmed down my collection. Just got the Rolex Submariner and Bell & Ross.
B&R was a recent buy soon(ish) to be followed up by the Panerai Radiomir Black Seal:

Mr Boag

You have a nice collection. How do you like the Franck Muller? Its one on my latest buy. Went for the largest size I could find. :mrgreen:

How do you keep your automatics? I have an auto winder/display case which holds 10 automatics.

It belonged to a friend who died a few years ago.... His widow wanted me to have it.

This is a reasonably sensible one with white face and black leather strap, some of the others are a bit "Elton John" for my liking

I quite like these

Anyone know anything about them apart from it's large price tag? I'm very clueless when it comes to watches, my old trusty casio was destroyed in a freak moped accident and the last watch I bought turned out to be a ladies model! :)

Nothing in the league of Mr B, but have just purchased a Bremont, ( http://www.bremont.com )
to add to my Anonimo Militaire ( http://www.anonimo.com ), IWC Spitfire, and Ebel. Had briefly a Rolex Daytona, but sold it on, and recently sold a nice TAG Carrera.

As Iain says you can never have too many watches!!!

Its funny, most watch collectors are also into cars!!

I love watches, think cars and watches are linked.
Got a Tag Aqua Racer in Gold/SS for everyday.
Would love a Rolex Yachtmaster in SS

Freind of mine is bringing in unbranded swiss watches with very nice movements, some lovely black steel ones which are well priced.

Paul, Anonimo Militaire looks 8)

I am happy to see so many SEers are into watches as well.

Strangest watch I have is a little know Japanese make called GSX. The watch works by absorbing light and the internal battery lasts fpr over 80 years :shock: Got it for the novelty value.
