3 watch collection game

Hello watch enthusiasts, I would like to invite you to play a game with me that I really enjoy.

The game is : I set a budget for a "3 watch collection" and with a certain app I put all the watches in a watch roll and see how it looks all together. ( You dont' have to put them in a roll, just a collage of the 3 watches will suffice).

Personally I always choose a white dial dress watch because it is more versatile but you're free to choose whatever you'd like.

Game rules :

- The collection must have a dress watch, a sports watch and an everyday watch.

- A brand should be featured only ones in its collection.

- No hommages.

- Budget crossing tolerance is 10%.

Good luck and I'm excited to see your collections.

In this example I selected 3 price categories : $10K, $4K and $1k.

  • $10k

  1. Tudor BB58

  2. Longines Spirit 37mm

  3. GS Elegance SBGW231

  • $4K

  1. Seiko SPB143

  2. Tissot PRX Chrono

  3. Junghans FORM A

  • $1K

  1. Hamilton khaki field mechanical

  2. Seiko SRPD53

  3. Orient Bambino

I'm assuming that vintage is out because of the diifculty in establishing market prices for individual watches? Would open up some bargains especially in the dress watch space.

Yeah it's true but it's hard to evaluate, but please by all means go ahead if you'd like to put in a vintage one that is reasonable enough I'm all for it 😀

Vintage Edition: $1k

Additional rules I've adopted to try and ensure a fair comparison with new watches:

1. Price must be purchase price in the last 12 months

2. Cost of a service must be added to the price.

@nichtvondiesemjahrhundert what an epic choice, is that from your own collection?

(And thanks for the suggested rules, I'll add them in the list)

I saw it on Ben's watch club after seeing it on Amazon and the dial looks so much better the way it was filmed in there.

Thanks, yes they are. I selected them to give a sense of the variety you can get in vintage.
