SOTC Jan 2023

I’ve been reading post after post about everyone else collections so I though I’d show mine too.

This is my core collection from top left to bottom right.

Tudor Pelagos- got it in feb 22, my main watch and if I could only keep one this would be it.

Longines Heritage Diver Chronograph- got it in august on the secondary market after seeing one in an AD on holidays.

Tudor BB36 Blue- I’ve had this since July 2019 I’ve worn it doing anything you can imagine from going out to dinner to climbing mountains.

Seiko SPB207J1- This is my perfect seiko diver, and probably my last. Got it in late December 22 

Seiko SBBN049- Felt I needed to have a Tuna, I got it in October 22, I’ll be wearing it a lot during summer for water sports.

Casio GWM5610- My perfect G-Shock, its earned every scar it’s got. Think I got it in December 2022.

Vintage Seiko SQ- This watch belonged to my grandfather, it has his initials engraved on the caseback.

Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer- I was looking for a khaki field mechanical but when I tried it on it felt too long and slim, the pilot pioneer felt a lot better, I got it for Christmas 2019.

Longines Hydro Conquest 41 Blue Auto- It‘s a great watch but I just don‘t wear it enough. Got it in March 22.

Seiko SPB151- Willard on a tropic strap is a classic. Got it in April 22, ye 2022 was a pricey year.

Citizen Promaster Tough - Got it in December 22, a family member was over in the UK and snagged it at the airport, it’s a great light weight, tough watch. No wonder Ray Mears liked it so much.

Seiko SKX007k1- Last but certainly not least is my SKX, got it in April 2020 it’s one of the foundations of my collection, and best of all I got it for €140  

This is Box no.2 I’m not going to go through them all but they are great pieces.

A few highlights would be the 7548 that Spencer Klein personally owned, the Casio Oceanus which is a world beater and my Arnie which I got for Christmas 2020.

Finally a watch you‘ll probably never see again is my daily, to use a quote from Richard Hammond about a Land Rover

” A Land Rover would never show up to pick up an Oscar it would be too busy doing important something for someone, somewhere“

Now replace the word Land Rover with Seiko Flighty and there you have it.

So what am I looking for now, well I’m currently looking at High-End vintage seiko quartz such as this one.

Any way for anyone who’s made it this far thanks for reading, so now I ask you what’s your favourite and what do you think I should add in the future.
