SOTC 2024 - Proud of where I am and hungry for new additions/replacements

I started getting into watches my junior year of college. I was in my first internship and I noticed everyone at the office wore watches and I wanted to get one as well to make myself look “official”. For my first watch I got myself a tiny Swatch sr626sw. I wore it everyday and I quickly caught the watch bug. A watch for me was no longer about looking like I belonged somewhere, but about how they made me feel and the stories behind them.

I graduated college in 2019 and started making enough money to start getting more watches for myself. I work from home now and I still find myself wearing watches in my apartment, even though I don’t go into the office much throughout the year. I feel so happy to own the pieces that I do. I think at this point where I want to get a few prices from more historic brands such as Omega, Longines, or Cartier.

Other than brands are there any watch types that you think I should add to my collection? I would love to add a dress watch and a GMT at some point. Thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week! 😊

Thanks!! The Lorier is definitely one of my favorites and for sure gets me the most compliments.

Fantastic collection and approach! I like that you have a nice variety of shapes and colors. Within the brands you're considering: I'd look at Longines for the GMT and Cartier for the dress watch.

Thank you! I couldn’t agree with you more. The Hydro conquest and Zulu time from Longines are gorgeous!

Sweet collection. I'm around the same number and want more. Lol

Fantastic collection! 🍻🔥

Great collection, you could add a gmt or small seconds complications but don't feel the need to add things for the sake of it, just carry on doing what you are doing.

Nice variation!!

I feel like I have to stay around 12 watches. I will definitely be selling the ones I don’t wear much to make room for new ones.

Will do! A GMT will probably be my next purchase.

Thanks man. I haven't put too much of my salary into this hobby but I'll have some luxury pieces when it makes sense for me to get one.

My first casioak will be here next week from Japan!! I'm stoked!! I love your collection. I hope to have such a nice one some day. Maybe after I get my casioak I'll post a SOTC..

Lovely collection. I’d check out Christopher Ward, it has some colourful and beautifully finished watches that could fit in your collection. Although maybe a little more expensive, they represent amazing bang for buck. Online only.
