Attempt at a top ten! State of the collection.
Ok so I got the watches out for a play. And I was trying to get it down to just ten watches. These are the ones I chose. A lot of fine watches didn’t make the cut -either from duplication or they didn’t spark as much joy.
Briefly:
Dads Garrard (the first watch I’m grabbing in a fire) and Bellmatic.
My Pelagos FXD and my Omega SMP - probably my favourite watches
My Hamilton W10 and Pulsar G10 - issued watches form 1976 and 1999 - love a field watch.
A couple of swatches - these being the most similar to the original fifty fathoms and Blancpain. I just like them!
A couple of Casios. The square classic g shock - love it. And a little pink F91-W.
In a comment I’ll post some that didn’t make the cut and why…
Fairly new to watch collecting. Super fast collecting journey! I've had a bit of everything, small gold pretty watches, large rugged watches, vintage British field watches. From Casio to Patek and eve...
So here are some that missed the cut.
The cartier because ultimately dad’s Garrard is a good dress watch. The CWC (issued 1996) and the Seiko RAF (issued 1984) because I just preferred the other two. The Clymer g shock as I prefer the iconic black. And the blue moonswatch as I prefer the grey.
There are others watches of course - but you get the idea!
I’ve often tried to do this and each time I get a different result. Obviously the gifts are there and that fills three spots but the other seven change all the time.
That W10, though… 🤌🏼
