SOTC: Five Watch Collection After 3 Years Of Collecting

Current SOTC. I’m extremely happy with the collection as it stands after 3,5 years. Five seems to also be a good number for me. Any more and I’m not able to wear them all enough to be able to enjoy them. Any less and I’m just trying to fill this box.

I don’t really wear dress watches, so as you can see it mostly consist of tool / sport watches.

  1. IWC Spitfire Chronograph

  2. Tudor Pelagos FXD MN21

  3. IWC Mark XV

  4. Tudor Black Bay Pro

  5. CWC Royal Navy Diver

Curious to hear your thoughts on the collection! What’s your perfect five watch collection?

I mean what does one say. Phenomenal grouping.

Beautiful collection. Small and to the point. Especially like the IWC MK15

·

Solid collection, maybe a different color replacing cwc

Does that also make it the most worn?

Fine choices. Very good taste and a couple I'm very jealous of. Because I posted it recently, here's mine. Not perfect but I'm enjoying it.

Yes definitely. It gets worn at least 3 days a week, sometimes more.

Thanks a lot & love your collection too! It seems like we have quite similar taste. How does the Big Pilot 43 wear? The Top Gun version is always at the back of my mind..

I really enjoy wearing it. Am now in fact. Doesn't feel anywhere near as big as the regular BP. Few millimetres makes all the difference.

That’s what I was thinking too. Maybe a white dial diver?

Which do you wear the most?

Tasteful, practical, attractive. Well done.

The IWC Mark XV, followed by the Pelagos FXD!

I’ve been toying around with the idea of a colourful Doxa Sub 300.

Beautiful collection, congrats. The Mark XV, especially on that bracelet, will definitely not look out of place with more formal attires 👌

I really love this collection, very intentional and beautiful assortment. I like that the Mark XV could transition to a dressier piece in a pinch and so no need to "waste" a slot on a dress watch. Love the Cabot (and the Tudors).I think the only thing that's missing is a less serious, pop-of-color and a true beater, which could both be achieved with a G-Shock. That's my overvalued $0.02.
