Early next year I might sell one of my big Seiko divers and would like to try to get a Christopher Ward back into my collection – who know what the January sales might bring!! I am also looking for a motorsport type of watch to add to my collection.

Please watch the video of my current collection and like, comment and subscribe to my channel if possible!! Thanks for looking. Happy watch hunting for 2021 :-)

You seem to have a watch for most purposes there. Rather a nice collection, but there does seem to be one space left in the box! :D

Great collection Dean, with a generally 'Outdoors' feel to it.

Lovely to see the L&H Phantom still :wink:, and I really like the two Boldrs.

The most impressive part? The fabulous Peak District backdrops to some of your photos.

I'll be looking out for your new CW in the New Year.

Thanks. And it’s always good to keep a space in the box for those sudden unexpected purchases! :)

I’m still loving the Phantom, and the BOLDR watches are two really great tough outdoors watches to add to my collection.

Yes Guy it'd be really good to have a new CW in the New Year! :)

Interesting and varied collection, with some great outdoor pics.

My favourites are the Alpinist and Turtle.

It was seeing the pics of your Alpinist in your previous SOTC write up that gave me the push to finally pick one up.

A good collection Dean, clearly Seiko is a favoured brand...and why not. I like both the Alpinist and the Cocktail Time (I had the same watch for a while and had some regret when I sold it, the dial is fantastic).

Wow nice to think my Alpinist pics led to you picking one of these amazing watches up! :thumbup:

Yes the dial is definitely amazing, I don't think I've seen a better dress watch and it always makes me feel a million dollars when I wear it! Definitely buy it again!! :thumbup:

Lovely collection, Dean. Lots of variety to take pleasure in there. My faves are probably the Alpinist and the Cocktail Time, both Seiko classics. :thumbup:
