Name the top 5 watches in your collection

do you think you will still have them in one year?

I'm taking much more time and really buying what I like, but we sell off watches that don't get the wrist time or we move from one watch brand to another, micros to brand names, divers to dress.. whatever it may be for you. Watches I bought a year ago that I swore I would keep forever now I'm considering that I will sell. I don't want my collection to be so big that I can't enjoy them all but want it to be at a good level for variety

Panerai -- not sure
Zodiac ZMX02LE - yes
Victorinox - yes
Sinn U1 - keep for sure
Serket Telson - not sure

Keepers Without a Doubt
Omega PO Chrono
Movado 800 Chrono(2) - Ready to let the yellow dial go
Seiko Velatura
Zinex Heliox
Invicta SAS 7750

Honorable Mention Keepers:
Hamilton Venturas
Seiko Sportura Kinetic
Renato TRex (Diver and Ti)
Renato Wildebeast (several)
Deep Blue Master 2k
Invicta OG Meteorite Gunmetal (Duff reminded me)

1. Rolex 16613 TT submariner, will have it until i give it to my son!

2. Breitling avenger seawolf, not going anywhere!

3. Breitling superocean, at one time was going to move it but love this watch just as much or maybe even a little more than the seawolf!

4. Kobold seal, this one will stay with me.

5. Omega seamaster bond, cant see it going anywhere!

5A. Sinn U1, it will stay!

5B. Schauburg COSC aquamatic, keeper!

5C. DOXA tusa, keeper unless someone wanted to trade a 750pro!

5D. Seiko UFO,for the money spent you couldnt pry it off my wrist!

5E. Seiko 6309-7040 will always have one, the best case maybe of all time! why sell under 2 bills!

5F. Maurice Lacroix roger Federer LE, special piece, solid silver dial and a highly modified 7750 and its COSC!

There are more that will be staying but hey i'm already at 5F!! few of my mods that i put alot of love into and a invicta sanii that ron did some work!then there is my JSAR modded with an ETA2824!

Hmm, it's funny because I still have about 20 some watches. But here are my top 5.

1) Breitling Super Ocean (That's a NO-BRAINER!)

2) Froggy UDT Timer Seiko Mod by Noah (SUHWEET!)

3) Seiko Soxa I got from Docwrm (Can't thank you enough for this one!)

4) Oceanaut Acqua Mariner (A gift from BennyB)

5) Invicta OG II Diamond/Meteorite w/SW200

There are others that will remain. It's very tough for me to pick but I did the best I could.

Fortis B42 Chrono - Yes
Mido Multifort Chrono - Probably
Mido Multifort Dr's - Yes
O&W Mirage III - Yes
Seiko Divers - Yes

Top 5 is fairly limited I guess....do you go by wrist time? price? some other factor? Here's 5 I like a lot, could just as easy be 10, 20 or 50. I will have all of these a year from now unless I really need $$.

Alpina Heritage Automatic
Oris Big Crown Pointer Date
Tag Heuer 2000 Automatic
Tag Heuer Aquagraph
Citizen Cal 9000 Minute Repeater

1) Oris TT1 small seconds, date
2) Citizen Skyhawk
3) Seiko Kinetic 200M Diver
4) Invicta SAS full size Silver and Black
5) About 5 other watches tied for the #5 spot

I WILL have #1-4 in a year. Not sure about ANY others after those 4.

wow! great watches listed so far

There are only two that have a chance living through the year...

Omega SMP
Stowa Seatime


The other keepers are gifts from my wife and dad...other than that all bets are off!!

In a year from now:

Oris TT1 small seconds
Sinn U1
Oris Frank Sinatra
Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronograph
Accutron VX-200 Chrongraph

Plus all 13 of my others.....I'm happy right now with where my collection is and I plan on a couple more over this coming year.

Breitling Chronomat Evolution
Omega Speedmaster
Tutima Flieger
Tutima Grand Havana LE
Ball EH GMT II

'A' list:
SWI Limited Edition A9258, 7750 w/blue dial
Invicta SAS 7750, stainless/goldtone
Chase-Durer Cloud Chaser auto, rosegold/white dial
Zeno-Watch Basel XXL Fliegeruhr mechanical
S. Coifman auto, square case (I just love this watch!)

'A-' list:
Hamilton Navy Frogman, titanium, 7750
Invicta Ocean Ghost auto w/meteorite dial
Renato Stallion, gunmetal w/blue dial
Gevril GV2 Submarine mechanical
Invicta Leviathan 7750

Ahhh, who am I kidding? I could also make a 'C' list, a 'D' list...hell, run through half the alphabet...cuz I hardly ever get around to selling anything.......

Pretty easy since I only have 5 watches, now. I've essentially already thinned the herd to:

Panerai PAM 111
Rolex 16610 LV Sub
Rolex Datejust
Seiko Orange Monster
Casio MIRB Frogman

Of the 5, my Seiko is the one I've had the longest. I think they'll all be with me in 12 months. The only one I'd probably get rid of, if the right deal came along, is the PAM 111. I really like the watch but just wish it had a date complication.

some watches I don't wear much but can't get enough for them to sell, great work watches.

Zodiac Oceanaire orange and black-yes
Zodiac ZMX 01 white dial-yes
Zodiac Adventure Cyclop orange-yes
Zodiac Sea Dragon lime green and brown-yes
Zodiac Deep Reef black IP-yes

So Im down to 28 watches with maybe only 2 more that I want to sell and you ask THIS??????

OK, Ill try

1. Breitling SuperOcean
2. Accutron (Heh, sneaky here since I have 3)
3. Dievas 1330 Oceantimer
4. Oris TT1
5. Seapro World Racer


No, no thats not right, left out the Deep Blue Sea Diver, the Junkers, the 3 Bernharts, the Steinhart, 2 other Dievas models, my 2 Luminoxesses and............................... well, you see my problem.

In no particular order...

Panerai 112 - Keeper
Breitling Avenger Seawolf - Keeper
Hamilton Sunset - Keeper
Zodiac Oceanaire (Divers Club) - Keeper
Debaufre Czar - Keeper

In no particular order:

Hamilton X-Wind
Orange Zodiac Oceanaire
SAN ll and lll 3 hand auto
Grand Diver autos
any of my vintage Seiko stuff.

Anything else I could part with without any problem

So many DIFFERENT cool watches here.

Not all ONE brand...
Not all ONE style...

I TRULY think we have the best diversity at XMT!

1. Reserve Subaqua 7750
2. SAII 3-Hand
3. Swiss Army Maverick II
4. Signature GD w/SW200
5. "My next watch"

Tissot PR50 Titanium - bought myself after graduating bachelor degree, so keeper.
Seiko Black Monster - I just love this watch, so I will always have some Monster.
Vostok vintage - my grandfathers watch, so keeper.
Casio Mudman - best watch for travelling in Third World, doing yardwork etc. So keeper.

Conclusion, all the signs show, that my collection can only grow

Hey, Eric, at least after the re-org, you're still working. That's the good news.

Perhaps you should negotiate with Alan for the rights to the Handle "Z-Freak"?
