I collect affordable watches and if possible, ones with some history behind them. I like Vostok and have three of their's. I have a one-handed, Luch watch from Belarus and a beautiful, English, Elliot Brown. Steeldive, homage watches are great value, as far as I'm concerned. I enjoy my Citizen Promaster Tough, 'Ray Mears' and my Iron Annie, Bauhaus. I have a soft spot for my bright red Casio 'square' watch and my solar, atomic, G-shock. My poshest watch is a quartz Frederique Constant - a gift from my wife.
I have no aspirations towards buying top-end watches - even if I could ever afford them. I have 24 pieces at the moment, a mixture of quartz and automatics. I have made the decision to buy only quartz watches, in the future. I like the fact that they keep very good time, keep ticking for anything between 2 and 10 years, don't need servicing, don't stop and are less expensive. Most importantly, I enjoy them. A lesson that I learned from a wise watch sage, on the net, was that 'almost nobody notices your watch, so buy for yourself and not for others'.
I buy watches for fun and as a hobby. I enjoy watch reviews - but prefer the ones with out the unboxing feature. I am never sure what that is for!

Why do so many watches look pretty much identical?
Perhaps the most common type of watch we see on here looks as though it is related to the Rolex Submariner. We see a sort of bog standard, generic, 'd...
