xj4sonx's end of year collection and thoughts

[T3RM1N4T0R]

Well as the year comes to a close I thought I would start a thread showing how my collection will look going into 2018.

I've done a few of these threads and it seems the collection turns over each and Every time.

I have made great friends here and I've made fierce enemies as well.

At the end of it all I love this place and love this hobby and love to give some of my time to assist the forum.

To the other mods that I lean on and have my back daily thanks for putting up with me

I didn't bother setting time and date on each as screw that and all pictures are point and shot from my phone

Enjoy and comment

Really a very fine and balanced collection. Great Presentation.

I love that brass Helson.

 

[Nivka]

Awesome and thank you for sharing. Seems like you have so many nuffies to moderate, I imagine you don't have as much time to post SOTC like this. Thank you for your efforts and merry Christmas mate

Nice well rounded collection. We have similar taste but I lack a watchbox or funds to have a rotation like that. lol

 

[kilowattore]

Great diverse collection, a few of my favourite watches there but I must say the one I'm digging the most is the 40mm Helson. It really looks great.

Have you ever tried wearing them all at the same time?

@xj4sonx how is the lume on Helson SD when compared to Seiko lume?

Helson I bottom left with Seiko's to its right.
It's better in my opinion

Yep, I do hunt for 40mm steel SD and quite often people say Helson lume is better.
First, I found it hard to believe, but apparently it has to be true.

I was on the fence with the 372 due to 47mm however it wears just fine on my 7" wrist.
The strapmaker I found on eBay search seller trandafil1972

I really like his work especially for the price vs gunny Malio ect

You had my heart with the AP’s.. you had my first born child with the bluesy!

 

[APjumbo]

Enjoyed your collection, great job.

Oooooh, I love that AP titanium jobbie (amongst many others)! Congrats on having marvelous taste!

Is it as good in real life as it looks in the pictures? Mechanically sound? Comfy?

Is it this one, same movement etc? If so, I notice is called 'novelty' - as in it doesn't exist in real life?
