Window shopping & trials: Hunting for the next watch

What's up Crunchers!

Yesterday was an interesting day in terms of horological discovery and new meetings. I'd like to share that with you and also to ask for your advice.

Last year I achieved many holorogical milestones including my grail watch, Omega's Moonwatch. The watch I've been dreaming of since I was a teenager😎

But as you all know, this hobby/passion never lies still and is continously evolving, challenging us and thus making us wonder of the next new project as soon we finished and achieved the previous one 😅

You guessed it, that's totally the state I'm right now: I'm already thinking of what could be the next addition to my collection: a diver of higher quality, a GADA watch (10bar WR, anti-magnetic properties, strap/situation polyvalent, etc) or a combination of both?? I'm also in the process of redefining my collection, because there are watches I love but don't wear anymore... I'd to maybe have a smaller collection, but with watches that speak enough to me, watches I can rely on and thus will give me the desire to rotate and wear them all regularly.

To scratch the itch, I went yesterday to some boutiques to try on a few watches I had on a first prospective list 😂. As you can see, I tried different brands and sizes. And that really helped me clarifying a bit more what I'd be looking for: a watch that is smaller than 40mm diameter and not to flamboyant, max. lug-to-lug of 49mm, max thickness of 13mm, min. WR of 10bar but ideally 20bar, some shock and anti-magnetic resistance.

I like the micro-adjustment possibility on a bracelet too, but it's not a deal breaker either.

The Tudor BB58 gave me a really nice feeling and qualitative impression. So did the Omega Aqua Terra 38mm, even if its bracelet is maybe a bit too shiny for me (but I could change it easily of course). Unfortunately for me, the BB54 was not in store so i could try it on. The Longines Zulu Time was really beautiful, even though the version I tried was way to big amd thick at 42mm.

I know Watches & Wonders will potentially unveil soon new options for me, but your knowledge and expertise are priceless and of course welcome!😁

So, what do you guys think? Wich options did I miss/have still to try on? Let me know! And thanks for reading🍻
