To Watch-Buy or What to Watch-Buy?
Where do I want to go with my watch acquiring? Well, you will find me wearing greens, blacks and blues most often. I consolidated my wardrobe from a diverse bunch of things from bright oranges through gothic blacks to a quite homogeneous selection of black basics, a lot of recurring greens, some blues, leather belts and a handful of white shirts. I figured out what I want to wear, so my wardrobe is in a state of grab and go. The outside world might not even recognize while I roll through my clothings.
My technical devices are in some sort of "mystic bronze". A bit of a complimentary colour scheme to my wardrobe, like a dance of blacks and greens with glowing sunsets.
When we saw the Citizen CA4470-15X, me and my children immediately knew that it must have been made for me. The perfect fit to my style. The same is true for the Casio GMW-B5000GD-4ER, my rosegolden full metal G-Shock. Both watches nail my colours and the Citizen AW-1231-07A is the one that goes with white shirts, black days and easy times.
There are some watches that I really like and which I am eyeballing. I see myself, however, only wearing additionally a Casio GM-B2100GD-5A. Buying for storing in a watch box is not my cup of tea. So I am quite hesitant of pulling the trigger on some of the other watches I adore but not seeing me having them on the wrist. Most of the time I wear either one of the two mentioned Citizens or the rosegolden G-Shock, because these three and the Casio AE-1200 are my matching grab and gos. Sometimes I even hate to decide between them. Maybe I marry the green and the bronze way by modding my Casio AE-1200 into a bronze case on a green leather.
If I had had the funds I would have gone for a Glashütte Original PanomaticLunar rosegold-green. It is a true grail but I didn't put it on a list.
So these are my thoughts on the state of my collection.
I have been there, when the first Lamy Safari fountain pen hit schools. I have been there, when the first G-Shock came into the classroom. I have been there, when the ticking of my classmates' first S...
I am not sure I have a colour, I probably have but have not worked it out ! The Citizen is fantastic.
