SOTC a mission accomplished

I’ve been into watches for over 25 years. Years ago, I had an idea of what would be my ideal collection. I settled a lot over that time going for watches close to what I wanted, and I’ve had a lot of fun through the journey. I have my 3 musts. Date, at least 100m water resistant, and minimum 40mm max 44mm.

When I finally got the #1 on my list, my Rolex Submariner Date, it was, and is, as perfect a watch for what I want in my collection.

I knew at some point I’d want the Polar Explorer II for a great contrast. That finally arrived last month.

A few years ago I got the Panerai 1312. An awesome watch for versatility, especially with all the strap options. Fun watch that changes things up.

I feel the IWC Mark XX is my favorite blue dial. The bracelet is one of the most innovative I’ve had on a watch, and the EaseXchange lets me change straps.

2 Tag Carrera’s. Tag Heuer has always been one of my favorite brands. The Glassbox Reverse Panda breaks my 40mm rule, but wears like a 40mm and such a classic design with a modern touch. The CronotempVs Collectors Carrera 74 has one of the best dials I’ve seen on a Tag.

This has been the perfect 6 watch collection for me, and kind of my end game on the high end of my collection.

Great collection. I just got my Sub date last week and I hear what you're saying - I need to force myself to wear the others!

Thank you! The Sub sits at the very top of the collection as my all time favorite. If I were forced to sell all but 1 watch to have for the rest of my life, it would 100% be the Sub.

Classy, versatile collection! Well done! 😎

Thank you. 😬👍

Great collection, congrats on reaching the end! I can only imagine what that's like

·

Well done indeed sir. Nice gathering

·

That is an awesome line up you got yourself👌 Beside their sizes (I’m more of 40mm or less) I could see myself wearing all of them. What’s is the size of your interesting CronotempVs Collectors Carrera 74?

·

Incredible selection !! 💥

·

That is my all time favorite tag. I think that’s the case because to me it looks more like zenith designed than tag😂

·

Really truly though, amazing collection!

·

Nice collection!

·

I agree mission accomplished

·

A very strong lineup.Really hard to say no to any of the watches. Maybe add a casio to rule em all. Haha.

·

Great watches👌🏻😎👍🏻

·

Solid collection. Enough diversity to carry through most situations.

·

Beautiful collection! Pam1312 is awesome.

·

If this is end game, you’ve more than surpassed goals. Your story behind each is incredible.

·

You’ve covered all the bases here - really nice collection. Just watched the ´Fall Guy’ film and I am now so tempted by a Tag Chrono! I believe the one he wears in the film is the one you have…she’s a beauty!

·

Now that's how you do a SOTC post, good stuff!

·

Fantastic collection.

·

I feel like we have similar taste. Looks complete and versatile. I’m also on my „endgame quest” for some time now so your post gives me a boost and some inspiration 😊

·

Congratulations. 🥳

A very beautiful and well balanced collection 😍👏

Have you tried it on? My favorite from IWC

Nope ~ not yet

Hoping to try the spitfire too when I get the chance

·

Cheers! Now wear them all in good health. 🍻

·

Yes, I want to see it. I used to love the TV show when I was a kid, hoping the movie is as entertaining.

It’s so doable, and so satisfying when you pull it off.

2 great watches to try out. I had the bronze Spitfire for a couple years, that was a great watch, but I find the Mark XX can be worn anywhere anytime.
