Here's an album to my small collection so far. Started this watch madness with a gen Seiko SARB033 in about March this year as my first real watch, but resold it for a small profit on the bays about 2 months later as I found it too small. To replace it, I got a Seiko SKX007 after reading rave reviews on it on WUS and other gen forums. At about the same time, I discovered RWI/RWG after I decided I want an Omega Speedmaster Professional but could not justify the $4k for it at the moment. Anyway, long story short, got the speedmaster. Had a wedding to go to a few months after I got the speedy so that sounds like a good excuse to buy a dressier watch, so I bought a JLC master geographic. And a few days ago just picked up a Rolex GMT master ii.....maybe I can finally stop when I fill up the box?
Anyway, here's some pictures of my small collection so far:

Top row:
1: Gen Seiko SKX007 on stock jubilee bracelet, I wear this to the beach and on trips, as it is solid as a rock in every situation and always reliable.
2 and 3: some cheapo quartz watches which I've had since I was a boy, they are just in the box to make it not look as empty.
Bottom row:
1: BP GMT Master II 21J. Just got this a few days ago, went with the 21J over the 2836 because some of you guys are reporting unreliable GMT hands with that. Pretty good as a watch but pretty bad as a rep, so far I've noticed the thin bezel font, wrong date window font, crown's a bit short, visible LEC, terrible lume. I might end up with a swiss ETA or 2836 version of this in the future.
2: Omega Speedmaster Professional with the ST19 handwind movement. The watch that got me into reps in the first place. Love it as a watch, but not very accurate in terms of the subdial spacing etc. You all know what's wrong with it. Still love it though and I've worn it basically every day since I've got it. The SE fitting is a bit crappy as the springbars are curved, which makes them a bit loose. I've stuck them in place with a bit of cyanoacrylate but it's not a permanent fix.
3: JLC Master Geographic. Picked this one up from Mary/Rochest at WI. I love the complicated yet sophisticated look of the face. Poor rep in terms of subdial spacing and detailing on the dial, but the gen costs $10k+ so nobody will ever call me out on it. I've changed the strap to a brown leather double ridge strap and also removed the auto rotor myself since it is quite noisy out of the box.
