I ain't taking a picture of mine. Nothing fancy, just a couple of Girard-Perregeaux, couple of Cartiers, a Patek, and a couple of Rollers...

I have to say that thing bottom right is ridiculously excessive. I want it! What it is? : ) Google image search says Welder K24. Is it a "left handed" design or adjustable or just meant to be distinctive?

ps. discard that bejeweled Breitling and get the Emergency -- it's the most appealing watch I've found. Coincidentally, it was an IWC Big Pilot that I saw while traveling once years ago and decided it would be "nice" only to find the sticker shock was a real eye-opener.

The iPhone does not have a clock. In the quest for knowing certainly of a timepiece within, I have dismembered my own iPhone and that of my good lady wife in order to be certain. I can report the iPhone is an empty, barren vessel, in which no tick does tock, no escapement does escape and very few springs are sprung. For shame!

I believe Google will be implementing "time" in the much anticipated Android 5.0 which will bring both telephony and chronology to the unwashed masses -- thankless wretches though they may be.

That our superior overlords see fit to bestow such "smart" indulgences, I dare not question and give only thanks for the pittance it costs at first and every month in order to be served with such power.

As for boutique baubles, the BP and BE you mention appear to make sense to the God of knowledge, almighty Google (his name be uttered in reverent, hushed tones as I lay prostrate on the floor of the Internet Hall of Everything, my chin at the lowest step of his great throne, exposing my ignorant throat, lest he see fit to bless me with the quickness of his sword to extinguish my irrelevance) alas I see only forrest and not a single tree of distinction to translate these acronyms into the dullness of my humble prose. Pray, wouldst thou stoop below so as to poke my eye out with a sharp stick of enlightenment? I am your humble servant, forever in your debt.

My favorite is my JLC Master Grande Memovox.

It has a calibre 909 movement and displays hour, minute, seconds, has an alarm, 24 hour time dial, date, day of the week, month, year, decade, and moon phases. An automatic mechanical watch with the measurement of time based upon the Gregorian calendar.

Mike, I love that AP! That is THE watch in your collection I would say.

I have a few Rolex, Omega, Panerai and Breitling. Never wear them to the track...I use a quartz Tag.

Sold off a bunch of them right when the economy was just starting to tank and then sold off some last year for down payment and some mods for the GTS. Sort of out of the watch thing now and I have about 9 of them and I like what I have.

I'm not getting another watch until I have the money for an AP ROO....but that could change when that day ever happens.

To be honest I don't even wear the blinged out Bentley anymore. That was a phase 8yrs ago, I need to go ahead and trade it in a JLC reverso that I've been looking at

CGT, yes that is a welder k24. They come with the left handed design so it's not stabbing you in your hand. 48mm and i love wearing it. You can get those for under 800 bucks as well
