Watch Collectors

I know there were a few who collected or like there watches on
MT.
Anybody here into their watches?
I started about 5 years ago, and its gone downhill since then,
ever expanding collection.
Currently have
Tissot PRS 516
Hamilton Khaki Auto
Cerina DS Podium Chrono
Longines Hydro Conquest
Tudor Black Bay - bought used
Omega Seamaster - bought used
Just ordered an Oris Aquis Date with green face and bezel.
Next year will be Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch, used
Owned and sold over the years
Breitling Colt - Only wore it twice, bought on a whim
Tag F1 - Also bought on a whim, just didn't really like it after
wearing it for a few weeks
Rado Hyperchrome - Just wore it less as I bought others

Had a Breitling Titanium Chrono Avenger for a long time but it
was costing me between 300 - 500 quid a year for servicing in
Dubai. Now have a Garmin Fenix 5 GPS watch which in my line of
work is much more handier anyway.

Don't have the disposable income I'd like to have to blow on
watches as a result have come to appreciate the value of more
affordable models (which tend to be far more accurate that any
premium brand I have TBH). That's a very tasty collection TM.
Rolex Sub (over 25 years old, was a 21st present, just a bit
small at 40mm tops)
Breitling Shark Chrono Automatic
4 G shocks (work and gym wear usually)
DeTomaso sub homage (for the money it cost I really like this
one)
Mondaine M-Watch (wanted an all black divers style watch, got
this at a bargain price)
Bulova Precisionist (pressure by the Mrs to buy, wasn't to sure
at the time, but it grew on me and I quite like it)
Tissot 516 too
Citizen Eco Endeavour (everyone should have at least 1 Citizen
or Seiko I guess)
Timex T49893 (one of my favourite affordables)
Trouble with affordables is that there are always half a dozen
you want but can't justify buying. At least at the premium end,
unless you have plenty of disposable, it's a more rewarding
process of finding your grail, saving (or selling) and buying
