My Humble Collection

Just wanted to introduce myself and show a quick and dirty pictorial of my humble collection.
I've been very active on RWI for the past couple of years (over 2500 posts) and am finding this new home quite comfortable. I appreciate the welcome I've received.
WARNING: A photog I am not! I can barely work my point-and-click.
Some Vintage and a Baylor watch my son gave me:

An Invicta that is 53mm w/o crown X 70mm lug-to-lug and 15mm thick. It weighs as much as a Buick. Shown with my 45mm LumTec for comparison:

A Stuhrling and an Invicta (on 26mm strap):

My mom loves ShopNBC and buys me these Invictas, Crotons, Renatos and Suhrlings often. A couple of Invicta Ocean Ghosts and a Lucien Piccard:

Two Wakkman Triple-Dates. Left is my grandfather's 1957 model which spawned my love of timepieces. Right is a 1962 model. Both restored at no small expense. Very rare watches:

A 1920's Abra - on the original strap, in the original box, with the original warranty paper, display tag, and price tag ($25). Works perfectly:

Thanks for letting me waste your time! :D

Jeez..
little of everything!

Well that is definitely what I would call a variety :)

Normally I'd make some remark about the Rolexes, but since you've got good enough taste to own a DSN082, I'll leave it alone :D

yeah mclovin is lovin the DSN082..... Must get a TI

Awesome collection thank you for sharing

very nice collection

Wow quite the collection there! A very well rounded one with a taste of everything. I think everyone will agree that you need a few more PAMs in there though. =)

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, guys. My fiancee' wears the Breitling SOSF, so it's not in the pics, as well as several gens and reps I've given my kids and my brother, including some WWII German issue watches with stamped HEER issue record numbers (all confirmed original by my very trusty watch smith).
My taste runs the gamut. I may end up with a couple more Pams in the future, but the A7750 movement is such a crap-shoot right now that I'm holding off on the ones I like. Couldn't tell you which ones those are, though. Pams all look alike to me!

nice collection and sweet display case!

Thanks! The cases are from AceTimer. They are worth twice what they cost. I need another, but have decided I will probably sell a few watches soon. Many never get wrist time.
I used to have a U-Boat and a DSSD V5, but hated them both and gave them away to friends on RWI.

nice collection, you've got everything i want in there haha

great collection there!
(as far as not being a very good photog, there are a couple posts (stickied for our convenience) that can help with that.

Quite an assortment there. welcom to RG, You'll fit right in

very nice, I love that youve got a mix of everything in there... reminds me quite a bit of my own collecting tasts. Welcome!

Hahaha, your "Humble Collection" - you probably have a mansion in the countryside you refer to as your "cottage". :) Nice collection, I really like the variety, you should try to take some fancier pictures. It is much easier then you would think with the help of some of the guides on here
