Excellent lineup for sure. Every one of them is a major winner.

A most excellent collection. Nothing I would not want to wear myself, and many serious winners.

That’s a baller sotc.

“To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

:clap: That’s a solid collection, diver heavy yet diverse. I like all of them.
Group photos aren’t as good.

I posted this at WUS, as well.

I was asked to pick my top three; hadn't given it much thought until now.

Guess I'd go with these.

No need to apologize Matt. ;) :grin: Actually seeing each one up close like
this and personal is so much better. Because it feels like the watches are
right here. :o Or we have them in our own collection. :excited: ..And if it is
okay, I want to say that I don’t know how you choose what to enjoy on a
given day. Because each watch could be the perfect choice any day actually.
I mean seriously, you could close your eyes and reach out for one of the
watches and it would be the perfect choice for that day, that week, or
the entire month.

In all honesty, a lot of people in the world would maybe even enjoy one
of these watches all year long. ;) ..What a line-up sir ! Thanks very very
much for letting us experience all of these beauties !!!

And keep on enjoying ! :)

Very solid group of watches you have Matt. Always been interested in the Longines Bigeye, if I find one at the right $. J

That's a solid treo from a solid dive collection. You're quite the strapster too, you always have cool straps, the finest combinations.

I love Tudor's GMT, it's on the someday list, as is the fxd. I'd have to have both for a while to choose one over the other.
