Hello all
Hi everyone, it's a pleasure to be here. Although I suspect I might be more of a lurker on most days, I wanted to say hello. I really look forward to learning more from all of you in this shared passion. I came here via the excellent YouTube channel. This is the state of my collection (at least the ones that get want real wrist time these days), with the three from the left getting the most wrist time this year. The Citizen and Hamilton in the middle were my father's watches and are therefore very special for me, while the second from the right was my very first mechanical watch when I knew next to nothing of this great hobby. Currently, I'm patiently waiting for my Maen Hudson GMT and CW Bel Canto to arrive.
Cheers everyone! I hope that you all continue to collect in good health
I like watches, wine and whisky, photography and travel, beer and coffee, and definitely cinema and cooking. But I love my family most of all.
Welcome, with a collection like that don't be a lurker be a show-er👍👍
Welcome! A very interesting collection of watches...Great variety!
Well balanced collection, from the pricy to affordable, I like the citizen best.
See you have a Serica. I was interested in that same watch. What is your experience with it? Have you had the crown issues that have others have had? Thanks.
Spectacular collection!
Love the collection. Well done

I think that it's an exceptional watch, and definitely high value for the money It's been very accurate for me, easily with COSC spec. I haven't had any issue with the crown, but I did wait for the second release. The case finishing is really good and consistent, and it feels fairly light and comfortable to wear.
It's not perfect: under magnification there are small imperfections in the lume application on the "40" on the bezel, and some noticable bubbling on the anti-reflective coating. While the bezel itself is buttery smooth, it also has a small amount of play that causes the bezel itself to lose its position when knocked, which is a bit annoying, more like a 60s dive watch and not something that I would expect of a modern watch designed to look like it's from the 60s.
But overall, it's been in heavy rotation since I got it. If you like the styling - and I personally love it - I think that it's a no-brainer if it's in your budget.
Thanks for the feedback! Definitively staying on my radar... in fact i am waiting for the version 3 with bleuish bezel. It is a bit different... but still the version 1 looks fantastic!
I like your collection BTW, very diverse and many great watches.

Much appreciated! That blue 5303 is clearly a stunner, a perfect summer watch if there ever was one!

Thanks for the informative reply - I appreciate it.
Probably will get it - because I love the style as well and it is reasonably priced.
