I went on a bit of a shopping spree the other week and picked up four new pieces. At this point I feel as though I have to stop and catch my breath before I wind up with 50 watches and only one wrist to put them on. Kinda like having 12 sets of headphones and only set of ears

Regardless here are pics of the four I picked up:

Previously in this thread I've posted the military watches I've collected over the past few years. But my first "real" work watch was a Datejust 16220 that I bought with tax refunds from my first year of working after school:

Flash forward 10 years, and this is what I picked up yesterday with my tax returns this year, a GMT Master II 17610:

I wear a cheap Swiss Army watch, nothing special but I like it.

I have 3 Swiss Army Watches (Wenger) and I like them all. I think they are great watches for the price. They are really easy to read.

I have a leather band field one, a chronograph and a titanium one. They all have dark faces. I got them all at Costco and I don't believe any of them were over $100. They were probably models that were close to being discontinued.

This is what I wear everyday for a watch. It is a Kobold "Polar Surveyor" I also have the Phantom in SS by the same company. Pretty rugged watch made from 316 surgical stainless steel. Has a 2.5mm sapphire crystal. It uses a modified Valjoux 7750 automatic movment.

I also have a Ulysse Nardin limited edition model 1846 - in 18k Rose Gold. I have a large collection but these are the two I wear most.

I had the Pathfinder Titanium Alarm watch.
eventually like all leather straps, it got all funky, slimey and broke.
Served me well. Alarm was handy.

Here is a couple of pics of what I work on for a living. I also work on complicated pocketwatches, Carriage Clocks and Mantle Chronometers. If you guys would like to see some nice older stuff. I would be happy to post some more.

Viper, Definitely post more, but please people, could you not quote the images in your posts? Not trying to be an ass, but it just takes forever to load all of the images, just to see the same one twice.
