Here's some of my collection. All photos are mine, some better than others.

First up is my favorite and my typical daily wear watch. It's an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean

Next is a Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono.

Here's my Seiko SARB-065 "Cocktail Time." It's a limited edition that was only available in the Japanese market. Really "live" looking dial. One of my favorites.

Another Seiko. This is the Orange Monster. I wear this one when I go swimming.

This is a Deep Blue Sun Diver 1k. It's my backup water sport watch. I usually pick the Monster over this because the Deep Blue is REALLY BIG. I really like the sparkly dial, though so I keep it in the bullpen.

Yet another Seiko. This one is a quartz movement (all of the above are mechanical.) it's the SNDA57P1. I use this as my "beater watch" when I'm doing yard work and other things that might pose a risk to more expensive wrist candy.

Here are a couple of unique watches. My collection is primarily focused on automatic/mechanical watches, but I have these two because... well... they're just cool. First is a YES WorldWatch II. This thing is a full on solar/lunar observatory. It shows sun-up and sun-down, moon-up and moon-down, moon phases, equinoxes and solstices, 24 as well as 12 hour time, the time and solar/lunar data for two other time zones, has a stopwatch and NASA certified countdown timer. It's pretty awesome.

Finally, here's a Phosphor e-Ink watch. It uses the same technology as the Amazon Kindle for the display. It's more of a gimmick than anything, but I like the bulky, techy look.

I have about a dozen other watches but don't have images at hand. Those include a Hamilton Ventura, a Stowa Antea KS, a Gruen Veri-Thin from 1941 that was my dad's, a beater Seiko 5 and about a half dozen others.

What you got??

Hey, I am SERIOUSLY LOOKING for a Glycine Incursore with the Unitas movement and a California Dial... If anyone can point me towards one I would appreciate it... Not eBay though... I check that often enough)

here's what the GLycine Incursore with California dial looks like:

Seiko SARB-065 "Cocktail Time."

Yeah, that Seiko Cocktail is pretty... I have my sights on one of those now too...

Love this thread!!!

I'd like an airking at some point also...

Now, I just have the Sinn, a few old Accutrons and a vintage Hamilton...

My favorite watch that I ever owned was a vintage solid gold gubelin with a Patek Phillipe movememt... bought it mint for a few hundred sold it for 10x that... wish I kept it though... but I was poor in those days.

I've got an Omega Seamaster that's my daily and a Glycine Airman 24hr that's in need of the original band. My father passed me a collection of Rado, Rolex, and Breitling but none of those have touched my wrist. and I just acquired a new Omega:

I have a Yes Zulu that was a MISTAKE.... but looks kinda cool:

As soon as I get over the newness I think the De Ville will be my daily. -Magnus

Surf, has your Yes held up? My Zulu has had problems with build since day one. And the mailing back and forth has created more problems each time. *sigh*

Lasttango, I'll check down here for that Glycine. There is a jeweler who collects Glycines because of some family tie to the company. -Magnus
