Thought I would share my SOTC
I generally have what is in the watch box and a wall display with all of the less expensive watches (Timex, G-Shock, seiko, etc...)
Top row of the watch box is:
- Breguet Type XXI - the one I wear most nowadays and I think is the most underrated watch on the used market.
- Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 80tu Anniversary Bronze - with all of the patina.
- Omega Aqua Terra - currently on a Hodinkee strap and was my daily wear for a long time.
- Breitling Top Time Zoro - love this watch, even made a video with it.
- Weiss Standard issue field watch - watch I wore most last year and a great value from a small family run microbrand.
- Rolex 1675 GMT - inherited from my wife's father and the watch that started my love for watches.
- 2nd row is the watches my wife wears more and start with a Farer Eldridge - fun brown chrono.
- Nomos Tetra.
- Unimatic U2 for Hodinkee - love a California dial and the odd shape of this case.
- Tudor Heritage Black Bay - my wife's daily wear.
- Omega Speedy 38mm - really underrated good looking smaller automatic speedy.
- Vintage Omega - belonged to my wife's Grandmother.
- Omega Jump Hour - was lucky to grab this before they became known a few years ago so it didn't break the bank at the time, also have the bracelet for it.
- And 15. Are my pink watches, an anOrdain Model 2 for the OT podcast and a Rolex 126000 in candy pink. I think having a fun colored dial in the collection helps remind you to not take it too seriously.
I do not know what is next but have a few in mind, all from brands I do not already own, I appreciate too many brands to keep getting from the same ones over and over.

Awesome collection! I have to admit I like your wife's selections more XD
Very nice. That Omega jump hour is a real gem👍
Wonderful collection - I love to see Weiss get some attention, hope to snag one some day! 🤙

I really do recommend them, I plan on getting a black one too in the future.
Wow! Absolutely amazing collection.
Outstanding collection! Thank you for sharing. I love these posts where we get a little background info on each piece. And I love the variety here.
And I know what you mean, in regards to your next watch... I'm tempted by another Omega, but I should probably try a different brand. Perhaps it's finally time for an IWC.
Great collection my friend, but you have to turn your speedy the correct way round 😂sorry that is my OCD 🤦♂️ I really think Longines is a brand that is making waves, think this will be my next venture
hows the Weiss holding up? pros and cons?

Weiss is ticking away and looks as good as the day I bought it almost 2 years ago. It gets most use in the cooler months as I like to keep it on canvas and don't want to sweat on it during hotter months so already looking forward to fall when I can wear it more

Lol I didn't even notice the speedy was upside down, Longines are great and I regret not buying the Hodinkee LE sector dial.
