SOTC 2023

Never really posted/listed everything I own but figured since I have enjoyed seeing other folks full collections why not share.

I don’t own anything super interesting or special - I am pretty boring guy and that is reflected in my watches. I tend to gravitate to the vintage-styled watches if that’s worth anything.

Box 1 are what’s in heavy rotation right now (left to right starting on top row):

  • Hamilton Intra-matic Chrono

  • Alpina Pilot Heritage Chrono

  • Mathey-Tissot 1970 Chrono

  • Mido Ocean Star GMT

  • Omega SMP

  • Tudor BB58

  • Lima Kronosprinter

  • Seiko Sarb033

  • Cartier Solarbeat

Image

Box 2 are watches that have fallen out of my current rotation, as well as those that are most likely to find new homes next year:

  • Bulova Clipper

  • Seiko SKX013

  • Certina DS PH200m

  • Roue TPS-Six

  • Junkers G38

  • Boldr x Nitecore Kraken

  • Fortis 19Fortis A.M.

  • Timex Q GMT

  • Seiko Samurai

18 watches feel a little much to be honest but I have nothing pressuring me right now to axe it down besides the voices in my head. I have come to that point where I do have the 1 in and 1 out rule, so next year I suspect at least 1 or 2 may go. First on the block is likely to be the Fortis, with the Timex and SKX likely to follow. The Roue TPS is the newest add to the collection with the Roue CHR being gifted to my brother.

That’s it - happy to answer any questions should there be any!

Wife got them for me - no branding on them, and they cam in the microfiber bags pictured beneath them. They are kind like that metal luggage on the outside.

Absolutely - for the reasons you already mentioned. Biggest quibble is the crown, which is a bit unconventional… but it’s quartz, so it’s rarely used besides changing the date occasionally. 👍

Great collection! Why no blue dial? 😬

I don't think it's a boring collection.

It's diversified - different kinds of producers, various kinds of time pieces. A very nice collection overall IMHO.
