I wear all my Omegas, which are readily available models. Collector's chase the rare and extreme.

I'm both. I don't own anything I don't wear, other than the items I've bought for the ladies in my life. Collector brings to mind the guy who visits his bank vault twice a month to chortle over his "collection", only touching them with gloves on. I open the safe each morning and decide what it will be today. Mechanicals get pride of place Quartz & tuning forks don't get such classy digs

I see that the Swatch Diaphane has been forced to live with the quartz and tuning forks.

I've said it before but... what a stunning collection Looking at the second pic, I'm just wondering which watch will take those batteries... The Underwood winders (6 place) on top pull out and take batteries as travel winders. The Orbita In Safe winders all take those batteries as well, and last a year at a time.
