That's a terrific collection you have Paul - thanks for sharing :thumbup:
You seem to be enjoying what you have :)

That JLC is absolute class 8)
The datejust is amazing - something a little different from the norm - great pic of it too :thumbup:
Exp II is one of those on my "would like" list.

Re: the TAG
My first thought was - Has it got the correct battery in there?

A great collection. Whilst it is obviously impressive in terms of brands, it is the range of the selection that I admire the most.

It must be quite enjoyable deciding what to wear. And I assume that the Apple watch sometimes discounts itself as it will probably have run out of battery!

Thanks very much

The apple is usually available as i wear it for work then put it on to charge when i get home. It only takes an hour or so to charge but stays on charge until bedtime when I put it back on and so the cycle continues. They charge very quickly now and last at least 36 hours

I really enjoy this SOTC thread, it's great looking at other people's watch choices. And...yours is very nice indeed. You seem to split your loyalties between dress and tool. I know the Sandhurst is military in nature, but it has an undeniable vintage dress theme, too. Was interested to see your thoughts on the Tudor, given that you have owned two Subs. The Reverso and the Datejust are just killer; thanks for sharing the collection.

Terrific collection with breadth and contrast! Thanks for sharing ... :thumbup: :clap:

I really like the blue OP and, like many it seems, I am in great admiration of the Reverso..

cheers

Thanks for postings Stefs....always enjoy seeing your inbounds! Really like your 36mm DateJust dial (for me super cool if that darn cyclops could be just be popped off though)

Might i ask what the departures were in 2020 from the collection?

You just need a little bit of heat to take a Cyclops off, don't you?

Paul, it’s just as well that your Datejust with the lovely blue numbers is (a) too small for me at 36mm and (b) has a cyclops, or I’d be bending your ear about selling it to me (given your statements about the collection maybe being too big - oh, and past history ;) ). That’s saved my wallet from a sizeable future hit, but it is nonetheless my absolute favourite watch of your lovely collection.

The rest are none too shabby, even if I felt I needed to close my eyes when reading about the Apple Watch. :lol: Thankfully, retirement means I have no such usefulness requirements influencing my wristwear decisions and can blithely ignore smartwatches on the whole, although I do wear a Fitbit on my right wrist from time to time in addition to the real thing...

Keep ‘em coming mate, I love seeing your new acquisitions; you come up with enough “out of the box” solutions to what to wear on your wrist that it’s often inspiring.
