Good take on

"We come from different geograhy, with different age and situation in life."

While this is true for the watch community in whole, it is especially true for the watch crunch community! Compared to other sites and forums, we can see a broad range from entry level watches all the way up to haute horlogerie, without too much snobism and prejudice against the other end of the spectrum.

And in addition, the broad geographic distribution lets us enjoy regionally limited special editions in the gallery that we probably wouldn't see in everyday life. Just thinking about the lovely Furlan Marri Rosso yesterday.💪

Leaving the colour aside for a moment (I guess this is a very personal preference), the Tsuyosa is a great watch: With a reliable automatic movement, saphire glas, glas bottom and a very comfortable presidential bracelet you get a lot of watch for 300 bucks.

Pocket squares and board games: 50% professional attitude, 50% nerd. 😄

And compared to watches financially both very reasonable.

Austria based company Hirsch also offers 19mm options.

Great watch - the lugs look amazing.

I would suggest to put the gifted watches, at least those who have sentimental value to you, in a separate box and don’t count it torwards your goal of a 5+1 watch collection.

The reason is obvious: beside maybe the omega tank, you will receive very little cash out of selling those, and later in life may regret giving away gifts from close relatives for a few hundred (at best) bucks. Not a good deal.

However, to unclutter your thoughts about the 5+1 collection, you may even store them separate.

In this case - or in general - I don‘t see the term beater as anything negative at all.

Au contraire, it’s a robust yet nice looking watch for a variety of activities. Was also a good companion while hiking in the alps. 💪🏻
