NWA: What's a watch that felt right the second you tried it on?
For me it was the Tudor Black Bay Pro. And I'm happy to report I now finally have it in the collection!
For personally it provides everything I like in vintage Rolex without the price tag and vintage worries. The GMT function will come in handy in my job for which I travel internationally on a regular basis. And I love the wearing experience on my 6.75 inch wrist. The thickness really is something you don't even notice when on wrist in real life.
Guess my 3 watch collection is now a 4 watch collection. Might as well round it up to 5 now right?

I’d say everything that made the Final Cut into what is my current collection as indownsized from 15-17 to this

Beautifully selected collection!
Black Bay. I initially had no interest. But I love the feel of it despite that I normally hate the feel of metal bracelets. I also love the feel of the crown and bezel. And lastly, it's not an "attention grabber", which I like.

It was the same for me with the Black Bay Pro. I initially had no interest, but it slowly started growing on me more and more.
Any Black Bay I’ve tried on
Seiko King turtle manta
This one … at first I was like no way waaaaay tooo big and chunky…I guess I’m a chubby chaser now!! I even want the chrono panda after this one.!!!!
Pelagos 39 ngl
Rolex Explorer. 🥲

I personally also have been going for bigger, chunkier watches recently. Especially the titanium FXD is a home run on my wrist!

Do you have any photos of it? Been trying to keep myself from buying one haha.

The chrono will be my next Tudor also (black dial)

This is very true. The dimensions are just perfect. But can we get a date windown please and thank you.
These two….fit like a glove!
A watch not in the collection: longines spirit. And in the collection the swc hyper g and seiko save the ocean.

They need to make a green dial explorer II for the sake of your collection 😉
Actually a lot of watches felt right like the Pelagos FXD and my Explorer 2 are standouts (which is kinda bad for my bank balance) but one that definetly did not fit right was the Rolex Deep Sea Challenger 😂🙏🏻 I advise anyone to try to get this at least once on their wrist even the lightweight titanium can‘t save it 😂
Another Tudor for me too
My king Seiko, moment I tried it on I was sold.
Looks so good with that dial colour!
This:
Man I love this so much..
Explorer 36mm
This one. I have stopped looking at almost all other watches. I can't imagine wearing anything else more. I have come to depend on the auto light and the grand complications are so nice to have.
Absolutely love the pointer date on this. What model is this? It’s like a La Tradition with pointer date and something spicy
It is a tradition with retrograde date.
U50 for me
The Pro is a strange beast, I hated it in pictures and was vociferously anti, tried one on and bought on site. For me there is something very specific about the brushing on the bezel that I’ve never seen on any other piece that is absolutely perfect. I eventually sold, not due to any real negativity, I just wanted my most expensive watch to be grab and go daily wear, so now own the Vertex M100.
The Seiko was ordered used off eBay on a whim and I love the way it fits, especially for such a large diameter watch, and the Tudor is just perfect on my wrist.
Sinn 104 on a leather strap.
My Breitling Avenger 2 GMT.
Pelagos 39 - and I am kicking myself for not buying it. It becomes part of your wrist.

i wish they made the pelagos 39 with a date option
maybe in the next few years they'll come out with that
