What was your favorite watch purchase of 2023?

So many watches in the world from which to choose! So many varied designs to peruse. It’s no wonder the diversity of watches that may be found on Watchcrunch!

My Elgin is my favorite watch of 2023. Why? Because it’s just a big basket of golden glitz berries that send a reassuring tingle through my synapses.

What’s your favorite watch of 2023 and why?

In May of this year I took my first cruise - a trans-Atlantic cruise that ended in the UK. Being my first visit to the UK, I spent a couple nights in London before flying home, and I did the dangerous-for-my-credit-card walk down Old Bond Street, visiting all the boutiques.

I left London with a Longines Spirit Zulu Time. Love it.

Elegant suave and for me nicer than a blingy Rolex the ones with diamonds that for me look like add ons for the sake of add ons this looks to have had the diamonds in the actual design itself witch just lifts the piece to another level I love it .

I got lucky at an auction and am still feeling great about this addition ♥️

Those raised arabic numerals!

Favourite would be the SM 6200 I absolutely love it and for the money it's unbeatable. Most worn however would be the CW C63.

I hear the San Martin’s are really well-polished.

I am genuinely surprised that Elgin is still going; interesting.

This is my pick

My favorite purchase this year, late in December. A Vostok Amphibia 710059. Not the most expensive, not the most sophisticated, but the one with the most attitude. Never mod a watch myself before, so it makes the watch feels more special.
