Very nice collection. Every piece a beauty of it´s own. You could add a Blackbay, a 15202, 15400 or AP Diver, maybe venture into some blue or white dials. A GMT would be nice like the 1675 vintage or Explorer II. Vacheron Overseas or Datejust would be nice too. The thing with dress-watches 4me is that I´m used to have some kind of timing device - so it restricts the practical wear mainly to divers or chronographs (exception made to GMT´s). Anyways, congrats on what You have assembled already :thumbsup:
Great collection Nivka!

mate I love the collection... but build a franken! They're so much fun.
Notice I said BUILD a franken. Frankens mean so much more when you buy the parts yourself and have it built rather than just buying a watch whole.
@Nivka i usually just wait at m2m and shamelessly beg people to part away their frankens :rofl:
despite that, not looking to add anymore pieces to my collection my wrist is happy with the current ones now
I'd love to, but it'll have to wait until next year when I've got a bit more income. Any particular suggested models to franken?
A good first franken is the Omega Seamaster 2531.80
Parts are cheaper and more readily available than all the other brands and there's a lot of experts/guides on here
My first franken was a Seamaster
Just came across this thread my friend.
Fantastic collection & great thread too. I love them all! [emoji122][emoji106]
Also,
While we are being honest, I've always though that speedy was Gen. Can't believe it slipped by me. Lol! Great piece!

Nice collection there bro! I'm in melbourne too. I've also got a TC Sub V7. Here's my much worse collection but I am happy with it.
Congratulations on your new acquisition - the AP 15400! Also, many thanks for providing the useful links!
Just a few questions, since this could be my next watch:
- what made you choose SS over RG?
- what made you choose a black dial over the more popular blue dial (especially on SS with steel bracelet)?
- a few things that jumped out, just casually looking at it:
- Dent in bezel at 11 o'clock
- upper plate on dial (the one that says Audemars Piguet) is too wide - space next to words is too big
- lower plate on dial (the one that says Automatic) is too wide - space next to words is too big
and the word "Automatic" sits too low.
- AP logo - is it the photo or did it fall off?
This made me look closely at the watch in the JF vs gen post - same flaws (except the AP logo)
Are those noticeable with the eye (especially the lower sitting word "automatic" or are those micro millimetre flaws?
Regards
