My wife has her own jewelry box, I should have tossed hers in there too. Nothing too fancy but obviously I went through a big Movado stage back in the early 2000's

My collection. Not all in my possession anymore
It's pretty random. Most of the Seiko's are customs I've built.
I alternate through most of them on a regular basis.
I built the dividers using stuff from the Container Store.
Pillows are from Etsy

flybigjet wroteWhile reading this, i'm wearing my vintage glycine airman (circa late 60's) that was my grandfathers. He was a commercial pilot for decades. Pretty cool you have a similar watch passed down to you as well.L-R, in order of least to most personal importance:
1. Battery-operated Skagen Titanium. Sometimes you just need a "grab-and go" watch.
2. Seiko Prospex Samurai (Automatic) on a NATO strap. I've had it down to 220' on a Japanese WWII wreck so far, as I actually use it as my dive watch.
3. Sinn 856 UTC (Automatic). My "work" watch-- I keep the inner time zone on GMT/UTC/Zulu time-- that comes in handy pushing a jet around. (All military and commercial aircraft base everything on GMT to avoid any confusion with time zones.)
4. Rolex Submariner on a woven Everest strap (Automatic). My wife got this for me as a combination "50th Birthday/10th Wedding Anniversary/Captain's Upgrade" present.
5. Glycine Airman (Automatic). My father bought and wore this while flying Caribou's in Viet-Nam and then continued to wear it for the rest of his aviation career, until he gifted it to me when I graduated Pilot Training. I wore it during every conflict I flew in for over 25 years (Gulf War I, Gulf War II, OIF, OEF, etc.)
My collection of service watches.
From the left
A Hamilton given to my grandfather's cousin for 25 years of service to the Hoover company. Presented to Him in 1946. I'm carrying His name as my middle name. This watch is a treasured (by me) timepiece that I wear on special occasions . It inspired me to get anniversary watches from my employer to pass along to my grandkids someday. I just hope they hold the sentimental value to them as the Hamilton I inherited.
My 5 year Kenneth Cole
My 10 year Fossil
My 15 year Citizen
My 20 year Diesel
Daily wear I prefer slim watches and the one I've been wearing is a Movado I bought on a cruise ship after a nice win on a slot machine.

Love seeing everyone's collection... especially those that have such a broad range of taste from luxury (Patek, AP, Rolex) to those with Swatches and Mickey Mouse watches 
Buddys550 you need to get the Meteorite dial Daytona (116519) to add to your collection

These are what I wear!
The Seiko thread gave me the idea to bump this one. I love the Seikos. Keep them on the winder because I'm not worried about prematurely wearing them out. My nicer watches are on the pillows on the bottom.
Not into watches from a collector standpoint.. unlike camera lenses, witch is my collector habit downfall.....but my three. Swiss watch company, citizen eco drive, samsung smart watch...
Roadster XL was a gift : never for sale
15400 was purchased in 2017 for under 30k (HA)
15500 was purchased on my honeymoon in 2019 in Milan at retail
Genuine AP wall clock in my office
Patek was purchased from a friend getting a divorce
Just purchased the same stainless AP for my wife in 37mm
Currently on the list for this unicorn from the boutique...
also have fallen in love with IWC lately

My humble watch collection, along with an Apple Ultra2, the TAG Aquaracer is looking for a new home.

36MM addition for Mom, and Dad with his mellow yellow to match the 993
And me taking a drunken double watch photo at 1am HAHA
My collection is 1.
I've thinned out a couple watches recently and currently have a dress, sport, tech and a burner in the box. I'm currently waiting on a new clasp for the Moon watch so I have the Seamaster black rubber band on it, blasphemy to some...
iamgroot wroteLove your VC! That's my current interestMy collection is 1.
The majors right now (Swatch and G-Shock not pictured). Note that the BLNR is a pre-hype piece; bought from AD back in 2014 before the watch market went haywire. The PAM233 remains my favorite by a mile!
Standing pat for a while. Unless TAG releases a Pepsi or Coke Aquaracer GMT next year, or if I find a nice black dial Citizen Signature.
It's been four months since my fascination with watches started, I may need to develop a little discipline.

As my father would say, champagne taste but beer budget. Otherwise, I would have added a SMP Summer Blue instead of the Hamilton.
