My particular model has a slightly misaligned bezel that makes it so it's always slightly off, and the case could use a little filing on the underside where there are some sharp corners. The shark mesh is a bitch to size correctly but the clasp has about a million micro adjust holes to make it easier. The bezel turns fine, the lume is excellent and everything generally is nicely made. It wears fine but is very wide and heavy. If you can get it during a sale for around 300 or less I'd say it would scratch the itch for a while.

All of them of course if money was no object haha. But honestly let's see now, I've got 22 if we include the work watch, I'll assume that the money I'm spending is one I've worked for. Out of those there are about 7 where I'd really want the original, even if I'd be in financial stress for a couple months, namely:

-Sub no date (or 40mm sea dweller)

-Planet Ocean

-Ploprof

-Pelagos

-Sub600

-GMT master

-Silver Snoopy speedy

There are 10 that I could take or leave:

-Sub Starbucks

-SMP300

-Pelagos 39

-Sub300

-GS diver (except if spring drive)

-Deepsea

-IWC AMG

-Tank

-Portugeiser

-Milgauss (would rather have a 15000 gauss)

And the rest I don't mind having as an homage (especially because working with a Tudor submariner would be equivalent to burning money).

It gets a lot less impressive when you take into account the value of the whole collection haha

commented on What is your Favorite style of hands? ·

Depending on the style of the watch, on dressy pieces I'll tend to be less regarding but generally I don't like hands where the hour hand can disappear behind the minute hand. Given my agffection towards divers, I'll naturally go towards thicker, more legible hands.

commented on What’s the perfect amount of watches for your collection? ·

I used to have 51, I went down to 37 for a bit and am now back up to 43, maybe will go back up to 44 soon, ideally I'd like to limit myself at 36 as it'd allow me to sell one of my watch boxes, but right now I don't want to sell any of the ones I have

commented on Little pet peeve about chronographs ·

I have several, including chronos, which have almost all been swimming and some playing in the waves and none has ever taken on water.

commented on WRUW Decisions ·

That looks like a Porsche to me, but now I'm wondering which team has a yellow Porsche, Jota's one is kind of a dull gold, Penske's are red and white and Proton's white.
