Advice Needed for an Over-thinking Fool

A couple of years ago, I decided to submit my watch collection for some much-needed reduction. I wanted to get a nice 3-4 slot watch roll and fill it with pieces that I LOVED which was an idea far rem...

I’ve never had an opportunity to see an AT in the metal - I would really like to see how it fits, my 38mm watches have historically been 43-45mm lug to lug so the overall feel is quite different. I have a feeling Omega nails it. thanks for the suggestion, i know I need to dive deeper in their catalog!

That is a gorgeous watch! I'm 100% cool with Quartz timepieces, and it's awesome to see some GS suggestions. I love them, but I find it hard to get through their catalog because there is simply so much. My goal is to get far better acquainted with GS next year. Thanks for the recommendation @nikolas !

This is exactly what I'm going for - love your watch roll! Also, good to know the BB36 is high on your list. Thanks for the inspiration @mjosamannen !

That's interesting, I was chatting with a friend about this very topic and he pointed out a similar thing, but I like your observation much better, you don't bat an eye at a collection of 5 Daytonas and/or 5 Patek's, at least not in the same way a smaller, less iconic collection might feel redundant to the same onlooker.

Any of the three watches in the poll would fill up my heart, thanks for the advice @Half_Life and I think a trip to the AD, getting some of this metal on the wrist will help too! (and now I want a box of chocolates)

My heart tells me all three of them too! But I think my Wife has a bug out bag ready to go she sees more than 1 watch delivery this time lol 🤣

It's funny - I've been keeping my distance from IWC, but only because it feels so refined and having one for me would feel like wearing my dad's clothes to school, like, am I truly worthy lol. However, I will be researching this piece, it's beautiful

It's very refreshing to hear that you think the BB36 and the BB58 are uniquely different because I feel the same way. Even the black dials of both are very different, the BB58 has a touch of gray, and the 36 is inkier, not to mention, I just love them. Thank's for the help @AllTheWatches !

I really didn't even think of that way, but you're totally right. It's hard to break that train of thought, being everything in my collection needs to be perfectly different from one another - sometimes I think YouTube has warped my approach to collecting. Thanks @gbelleh !
