Hello!

Hi everyone, hope you are well. Been following Watchcrunch for a while now so thought I’d join the community and introduce myself.

Here’s my small, modest collection (excluding a few quartz Skagen and Fossil watches I grew up with). I have no particular direction or goal when it comes to collecting, just purchase what I love! I did own an Omega Seamaster 300m a couple of years ago but ultimately felt too guilty for spending that much money on myself so had to let it go; coming from a working class background I could not get used to walking around with 5k strapped to my wrist as much as I absolutely loved the watch. I feel much happier and more comfortable wearing more affordable (relatively) watches.

Tissot PRX 35mm (Powermatic 80).

G-Shock GLX-5600, Kanoa Igarashi limited edition.

x2 Exacta/Venus ‘Chronographe Suisse’ chronographs- My first ‘vintage’ timepieces. Not desirable, not robust and many people consider them pieces of junk. But I think they’re lovely and they wear great. I’ll provide some links to articles about them that I found quite interesting!

Thank you for reading. I love scrolling through, reading people’s stories, learning a bit of horological history and seeing weird & wonderful collections at all price points.

Have a good weekend all!

Welcome to the crunch Sam!

For me it’s about the watch not what it costs or it’s going to make👍🏻

As an example I’m sporting a Chinese auto today on WRUW that I acquired for £19 inc tax n delivery 😎

Welcome to WC from the colonies.🙄 I also sold my most expensive watch when it no longer brought me joy, and rotate through four watches, including a G-Shock and just one vintage Swiss mechanical.

Your chronos are not junk, who says that is incompetent and silly. They are delicate, but very nice and classy. Have care of them.

Thankyou very much! I think so too
