I’ve worn watches my whole life with some Rolexs bought 40 years ago when an average employed guy could afford them and Seikos a Timex or two long gone. Nothing special until I recently got a little more serious about building my collection. I’m in Silicon Valley creeping up on retirement.
Up to over 20x, Moon Speedy, BB GMT (it is cheaper to buy in Switzerland), love Wise Timepieces, Couple Tissots, TAG Carrera (of course), Chris. Ward (real beauty and so well made), Spinnaker and a few other cool micro brands too (fun watches). Having fun modding.

I have 2 CW’s both with SW200’s, both ~1000USD. Both keep excellent time and are very strong display backs. Pictured is the Atoll, looks presentable also. So if you want a SW200 you can spend less but case, strap, brand name premium all may add up.
This is just awesome! Looks great, what a day. WOW, bet you'll never forget this one.
Funny IWC related story, this Wed. we have a dinner at a crab feed in SF. Sat with some people we didn't know, husband and wife, he's a retired Navy pilot/lawyer and she sells private jet time. He's wearing a watch that I caught a couple glimpses of and ask if it's an IWC? He almost falls out of his chair. Saying most people don't even know about IWC. Needless to say, we talk watches for half hour.
