Quality v quantity

CW alone is better than Tudor in my opinion

If there's a Tudor you particularly want then yes I would save up for it, the finishing is that bit better than an Oris for the most part & they tend to hold value better as well.

In general I’d say go for quality over quantity. But mix in that “go for what you want” - price isn’t the only measure of quality.

Go with whichever is going to fit your budget and bring you the most joy.

I’ve heard Oris is pretty generous with discounts, I have no experience there first hand.

I suggest going quality over quantity. Mid price models are great for filling in the variety in a collection but the high quality pieces are the standouts. If you already have a collection that fits most functions or occasions, I think it’s better to focus on a few quality pieces.

If you choose to raise the quality of your collection later, selling or trading your mid level watches is a pain and there is a significant drop in value. Nobody wants to take CW, Oris, Hamilton, mid Seiko, Tissot, etc. on trade towards Omega, Rolex, GS, etc.

You can throw out this advice if you find a model that absolutely love and are sure it’s a life long keeper. If you’re buying to fill out the collection, my motto is “buy right, buy once.”

IMO (and this is only my opinion. I nor anyone else has the right to tell you how to spend your hard-earned money. Feel free to tell me to suck a lemon) avoid Tudor like the plague. I used to rate the brand quite highly but after hearing the horror stories (crappy AD's, refusal to honour warranty, shoddy QC, etc) I'm horrified. Vote with your wallet it's the only language these big companies understand. If you demand luxury go for any other brand. Omega for example.

At the end of the day though it's all about what you want. Why are you collecting? Do you have a specific goal? Are you just collecting cuz 'ooh shiny'? Are you looking to pass them down? The watches you're buying. Do you actually really want them are are they just there to pad out the collection?

As others have pointed out Tudor quality isn't better than Christopher Ward or Oris. I own two Christopher Wards and may acquire more because out of those three brands they are clearly the best watch and best value.

I have reduced the size of my collection and trying keep/ buy only 4 core pieces, but quality ones. I found that I wasn't wearing many of my watches, so better to trim down and invest a little bit more in fewer watches.
