    Two lovely vintage pieces and a really solid group of modern watches.

    The aspirational pieces should fit in nicely in the collection.

    As iyonk said, thanks for sharing. Seems we haven't had a SOTC in a while.

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Agreed. I use them religiously for work and play, got a boxful archived and catalogued.. and climbing..

    P.S. nice Nomos Club Dunkel I'm looking forward to the day I get my hands on a 36mm no date, for use with some seasonal straps (perlon in the summer/spring and suede in the winter/fall - not that we have seasons in Miami lol). That's probably the day I retire the Certina DS as well.

    Thanks! It's a great little watch. Mine is the 38.5mm version which is ~48 lug to lug. Wears really well on the Eulit Palma Perlon (a little thicker than some of the other Perlon I've seen).

    Great collection, jdelcue! You seem to have most of the bases covered nicely with a cool mix of modern and vintage. Good luck with the next phase!

    I like your taste. Nice range of classy watches. (We actually have a few of the same models - Alpinist, 556a...) Nomos is a lovely direction... Milgauss a lovely aspiration.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.
