What’s your next addition to your collection?

For me, I’m planning on something with a nice pop of color. Something bright for the spring/summer like teals, yellows, oranges, etc. With my budget it might be a mint green PRX, pagani’s OP homage, Pageni’s explorer homage, or something else fun. What about y’all? I’d also love to hear what you guys would recommend for a pop of color under $500, feel free to drop some suggestions!

Explorer 1 36mm (currently on the list).

Ok I do realize it doesn't really fit the colour pop under $500.

I have an unspecified Zelos Diver on my list. Really like their watches, nice dials and design and I really want a quick micro adjust bracelet.

I am setting it as a weight loss goal that I can work towards.

I like the look of their Mako's and Great Whites and would love to get a mother of pearl dial. I also really like this Frost White dial too.

I’m thinking a dress watch. Perhaps a Seiko Presage, one of the Cocktail Time range I think… although I do love an Orient Bambino… 🤔

·

Nomos Club in pink is Killer!

·

I don't have a white or cream dial so maybe the Hamilton khaki King or something similar

·

I feel you! In January I picked up the green 35mm Tissot PRX for a pop of color! Boy does this green POP in person! Photos don’t do it justice. I would suggest if you get the Quartz version to buy it in person to make sure the seconds hand lines up with indices. I was lucky to find a perfect one! This watch is a piece of jewelry more than an actual watch. I scratched an itch and also picked up a yellow Citizen Tsuyosa for more color. Fun summer watch!

I have the mint green prx in quartz and love it. Great color and does have some texturing to the dial

·

Saving up for a substantial piece, but if the PRX Powermatic 35mm comes out by Summer it's an automatic buy for me (no pun intended).

·

My mind is dead set on a lorier zephyr in red. Love that watch design.

Great picks color is always welcomed

I have Lorier Astra on my view

I'm getting a Baltic Bicompax 002 this summer for my Anniversary. My wife is getting the Baltic HMS 002.

Image
·

Been thinking of a field or dive watch around $100. Or something vintage quartz with a case and dial that calls to me.

I went for the RZE titanium super compressor last summer. Love the medallion yellow with a slightly textured dial. RZE have other models in the same colour of this one is just out of the price range.

·

Just added this new release from Certina...waiting for it to arrive from Germany...

Image

I've always wanted a vintage DS-2 Chronolympic but they are almost impossible to find and prices are crazy.

This reissue does the business for me.

·

Maybe adding an nice colourful Nato would be an idea. I feel it does not always have to be a new watch. A fresh strap, especially on watches you normally wear on a bracelet, can really transform a piece and be great fun.

Ripley, as in Eleanor Ripley?

Wow just read about it. Very cool. Love the idea of it, but this watch specifically doesn't float my boat. But, so cool. Good luck getting it! You are getting the original or the 2016-ish reissue?

Image

It is most definitely an ugly watch haha, kinda fitting with the industrial design of the Alien films. I have found that the original 1980s edition is basically impossible to find, and there's only 3000 of the reissues out there - so it's quite collectible in my opinion - even though it's GASP quartz

I already have this on pre-order supposed to be delivering next month.

So that is my next purchase 😂

It may not be bright colored or luxury priced but it will go anywhere I need it to this summer for work or play 😉

Yeah, i might now buy it just for the alien connection! Sorry if I become yet another competitor in your hunt! It's my favorite series and movies hands down. Eh, quartz is fine for some watches.

I am in a summer mode too! I already have the Traska on preorder and will hopefully get it in June. The other two Seikos are on my wish list, but my spouse lovingly asked me not to buy anymore watches this morning. 😅😭

Love that traska!

Love that traska!

They just released a mint GMT today if you wanna grab one before it sells out!

·

Damnit that PRX is hell of a watch - my issue is choosing a color.

Already ordered during the brief window a while back, but this Kurono should be arriving in the near future:

Apart from that incoming one? My next major professional milestone will be celebrated with a green Glashutte Original Panomatic Lunar. That green . . . oh . . . my . . .god . . .

Personally I’m waiting to sink my teeth into some boring neo-vintage Rolex…must not look at 70s Omega 🙈👀…those citizens with the integrated bracelets look good to me And you can’t argue with the price. If you want a lot of color they’re doing an interstellar galactic or something PRX right now that looks awesome…$$$ though
