Trying it..
Happy Sunday crunch. Hope a good weekend. Attempting something I have been contemplating for a while. Trying to see how I fair with the “4 Watch” collection/rotation. It was harder than I thought it would be as there are several pieces that I really like that got relegated to the “other” box.
I tried to be honest with myself asking which ones fit my lifestyle, offered the most functionality and covered the most ground. Quite surprised where I ended up…
I wear suits occasionally so needed a dress watch - Seiko Enamel Presage has been with me the longest. Its been very reliable and can cover a lot more than business formal if needed
The Speedy is my true daily driver and gets the most wrist time by far. Office/date nights/weekends running around. This was my birthday/anniversary watch. Waited years to get it and its been everything I hoped it would be and more...
The Oris is very special and holds great memories .. a strap monster that even though it is a pilots watch, feels vintage and dressy casual to me. A great change of pace that feels and looks great on the wrist.
The Strat-o-timer will be my workhorse when a “beater” is called for (hate that term).. specced up looker that will work for vacation traveling, poolside, yard work, etc.
Surprised.. divers aren’t here, no field watch, G Shocks, Casio AE1200, Cocktail Time, PRX..
Anyway.. just documenting - let’s see how long this last 😅
Child of the Sixties / Father of two - Grandfather of three/ Prone to the obsession of collecting / blessed, grateful, vintage and still ticking!
I reckon a fella could get pretty far on those four watches. So, let us know how far you get!
Here's my theory. A G-Shock is such an indispensable piece of equipment, that it's not really part of the "collection" per se.
So, you can have any number of collection and always have a "+G-Shock" that's not really counted.
Maybe I'm self-justifying, but I'm 100% ok with that for my G 😁
That PD is stunning brother, I think you can call it a career with those 4 pieces, great collection.

Agreed. Everyone needs a solid digital watch, be it a G-Shock or Ironman.
You've got a GREAT collection. Traveller GMT, nice dressy Seiko, the Oris (which can easily pull double duty as a field watch) and the Speedmaster. If you want a diver you have LOADS of options there. I'd personally get a solar G-Shock and basically any diver and be set.
Also, what are the straps above the Seiko and the Speedmaster?

Ahh I keep hearing great things about them
Honestly, this is a solid line up... interested to hear how it goes!
