Circa 1900 Waltham pocket watch installed in a wristwatch case, sitting in the bed of a 1955 Tonka truck.

Of course, a professional wouldn't have got their fingers in the reflectionThe magenta reflection is from the orchid flowers above the dial.

It's more of a sickness 😬 I love watches. It has nothing to do with their value. None of my watches are high dollar. I buy them because they speak to me. The Waltham was my great grandfather's, and it was passed down to me. The case was pretty toasted, but the movement and dial were flawless so I had it made into a wristwatch. I wear it on special occasions.Like your watch collection
And, thanks! I'll post more pics of my hoarding sickness as time passes by.......
1950's Elgin, I like to call 'organic'. Mounted on a silver and turquoise band I found that matches the character of the watch. I kept the watch unrestored because it tells a story just by how it looks and it works great. Not everything has to be shiny and perfect! It's setting on a tree root which grew through a buried horse bit which I found on the farm after the tree blew over during a storm.
Edit: Still working on my closeup focus. Not perfect here, but neither is the watch!! And I'm OK with that.

You do have classic watches. Your hoarding sickness may be catching 😁1950's Elgin, I like to call 'organic'. Mounted on a silver and turquoise band I found that matches the character of the watch.

I have a few. Definitely not collectors pieces. Just modern watches 😂
It's all about what catches your eye, has sentimental value, or makes you happy! Some of mine are newer, two I assembled from various parts (cases, movements, hands, bezels, etc), some are old, and some I bought while on vacations. It's all good!
My absolute favorite is a watch willed to me from my great uncle. He was a paratrooper in Normandy during WWII, and he bought his forever watch after he left military service. He wore it every day until he passed. It will be the next one I post a picture of.
