表迷秀表之年终盘点

I needed some form of structure for the display. That took some thinking, and a very large piece of felt on a large table with enough height so I could shoot them all, with daylight. This is the best I could do. As I categorize them looking at the photos, I see one or two out of place (row not long enough, one too many, etc.) I know, please don't remind me ...

Watches that, by virtue of deployant or bracelet, must be laid on their sides.

First row - straps and deployants
Second row - bracelets with white dials
Third row - bracelets with black or dark dials
Fourth row - more bracelets with black dials

Watches on straps that lie flat on the table

First row - no dial, white or light dials (yes, I mis-placed the Seiko on the end)
Second row - black dials and dark color dials; starting with shark and ending with rubber straps
Third row - my wife's watches

Sigh. I think there are about 100 in the inventory. The table shows 88 but I am sure there are a few more hiding around the house. Not counting pocket watches.

Most Readable

Most Bling at least in my collection

Most promise; most wanted to purchase and most disappointing to own. The sum is much less than the individual parts.

Most Incomprehensible encouraged by my interest in moons, and positive reviews by SJX I bought this but I have no idea whatsoever what's going on with this watch.

Best so far this is too thick to wear regularly but it is my favorite in all sorts of ways. Look at the hollow arrow tip on the second hand. It just STARTS there and goes on.

Most Tres Jolie and I don't mean that chick with all the tattoos

Most loudly humming this makes the entire watch cabinet hum

First Watch Over $1000; first watch from Singapore; first big Seiko; first chunk of money wired to the other side of the world; still well-loved and no flaws

Most respected Swiss company (from my personal visits) and most complex

Ultimate essence of round sport watch

Most accurate ten seconds per year, with checkup at the factory after 2 years. Yes, it's super-high-end quartz

Most beautiful dial

Most unusually aligned movement aka upside down

Most wanted this is the only watch I ever sold (to get the GS above) and then immediately bought again

I haven't gotten to my favorite, but I will close with the most recent purchase
