Time for some yard work…..
Not a thing wrong with having a really large collection, but depending on your personality type, it can be a daunting chore to choose your daily out of 20+ options.
For me, I like to keep my collection tight and purposeful. So when it’s time for a particular context (dress, casual, sleep, work, etc….) I have an easy time making my choice.
Today, my tried and true Tissot Gentleman will go with me once again into the fray of yard work. We’ve been through a lot together as we both age…..hopefully gracefully. 😏
Have a great Saturday, fellow nerds ~

100% agree. I realised not every enthusiast is blessed with octopus DNA to support enjoying their burgeoning collection or help them choose their "wristwatch for day".
Today I have an empty 20-slot watch box along with 6 loved (but near-pristine) timepieces listed for sale at my local marketplace. My remaining 5 piece collection will be a lot easier to rotate through and each piece in it will get ample wrist time each week!

What are you selling?
This wrist watch keeps calling my name. Simplistic Beauty
What are you selling?
Citizen, Rotary, Orient Star/Hamilton, Bambino, Stührling. Affordables basically.
Through the years, I'll go from this to only having like 10 and eventually getting back to this 🤷♂️
Probably one of the nicest watches Tissot makes. I have a Courturier as my wedding watch (and I got a great deal on it) but if I Gentlemen was available at the price I budgeted I absolutely would have picked it up.

Yeah, I owned one of those myself back in the day. I really loved it when I had it, really hard strap to change. Now that I wear the gentleman, no regrets.
Doing yardwork wearing a Swiss-made mechanical Tissot? Well well, Mister Fancypants...
I just dug a bunch of holes in the garden a few hours ago and wore my go-to gardening watch, my unbranded (Orkina) beater:
I guess I'll have to scoop out the cat boxes wearing my Cartier to keep up:
😂
My faithful (and cheap) Casio F-91W is my go-to for yard work… and it’ll only cost $11 to replace it if I break it 😂

LOLOLOL
I wear my simple quartz Vaer or my Casio MRW-200

Well, I do own two pairs of Levi’s (count ‘em two) but they are decidedly fancy. 😔
A Cartier for the cat box?!? No no no, that’s a job for a Lange.
