My growing collection of reps and gens - focus on the big guns! The Hamilton Khaki Mechanical is number 1 out of 550, just picked it up in Zurich a day ago :p!

Since February. This year. And I just noticed that pic's not quite up to date - it doesn't include the SS/black dial ARF Daytona. hehe

I've got the bug pretty bad.

Oh man that's impressive! Haha some will say you need rehab... But they don't get it!

I am getting worried. This photo was taken during January 2019. As of today, only 17 spaces left for new watches. I expected three watch boxes would last a long time. The addiction continues. I will have to update the photo in the fall.

Does anyone know of any easy editing software I can use to combine three photos into one? I used Microsoft Paint for this photo. When I posted three individual photos I was reminded of the "one-shot rule".


Man i don't care about the one-shot-rule... Your pictures were amazing.. More interesting to watch the IRL setup... :D

The ALS is approx 1 mm bigger in diameter and approx. 1,5mm thicker. But they wear pretty much the same, because the lugs are longer on the breguet. I don't have a big wrist.

The ALS isn't that close to gen. These are the most important flaws:
- Diameter is a little bigger than the rep (doesn't matter on the wrist as the proportions are good).
- The tourbillon is non-decorated, doesn't look like the gen.
- There is no seconds hand attached to the tourb.
Movement i won't even mention in an ALS :D
But it's a beautiful piece of high quality, it has a good weight too, feels expensive. The crystals AR coating is great. Also the dial is beautiful.

Hope it's helpful mate.

VMSG thanks for the kind words mate.. i like these watches a lot and have tried to match them with different straps I find suitable. But if it wasn't for this forum and the knowledge in here it was never possible to have this collection :)

Great collection you got there mate. Your incoming patek 5227 patek black dial is probably my favorite dress watch.

Let me know when you have it, I'll get one as well after I get this VC tourby
https://puretimewatch.io/traditionn...edition-gray-dial-on-black-leather-strap.html

Will let you know.
Well that VC is really a nice one too. I've considered selling one of my tourby's to get that platinum rep. But thing is, the movement being very different designed than the gen is acceptable. The diameter being 1 mm bigger and 2 mm thicker than the gen can also be accepted. Problem is case design and specially the lugs are very different from the gen. It's a nice watch, but doesn't look very much like the gen. So i'm a bit ambivalent about it.
