Name, loc: Shaun, UK
Collection: wide range of models from the 50-80s. I love the "big four" (Monaco, autavia, carrera, silverstone) but also love the montreals, the 5100s, "tide" variants, pre-Carreras, skippers, stopwatches, etc. But funnily enough I never owned a jarama, Verona or monza
Collection size : no comment except more than I ever expected or intended to own..
Other collections:
Nice core collection of omegas (few speedies, flight masters and ploprof), few nice 70s zeniths. I branched out to other 70s brands a few years ago but soon was drawn back to more heuers ("I thought I was out, but they dragged me back", as mr. corleone put it), so i sold all the peripherals (breitling, doxa, nivada and non core omega and zeniths). Finally, G-shock, gotta crazy small collection. Don't be embarrassed James H - best tool watch in the world today - or at least most cost efficient!
My watch collection is pretty small (in number, if not value terms) compared to my huge collection of Phantom
F-4 books and magazine articles, my vinyl & CDs, and my minerals / crystals collection (hi Mark), and also my frisbee collection.
I do own one TAG Heuer, the first execution F1 model, which was the first serious present I bought my then girlfriend (now wife). Will I buy another? Probably not, but 10 years ago I would have said definitely not so TAG are doing better!
Ps: usual disclaimer : watches are in bank safe. For any ill intentioned lurkers out there
