Love to hate…dislike

After a week I really want to love this watch but I am really finding it hard to read a white dial with thin silver hands. Should’ve picked up the dar...

Hard decision. For me, IWC, mostly because I never have a reason for such a dressy watch.

commented on How happy are you with the watches you have ? ·

I guess...8. I'm content with my 4 watch collection, though I only wear one.

Grand Seiko has been my "Rolex" piece for as long as I can remember and I would quit collecting upon that acquisition, or be content with my collection at a 10.

Love my San Martin…

Congratulations! My choice would be the Baltic.

commented on What have you learned about your collecting tastes over time since you started? ·

I have noticed not much has changed over time and even align with my approach to my other hobbies:

  • I'm still a bit frugal but impulsive watch buyer. All my watches are under $500.

  • Bracelet 100% of the time.

  • Small collection is fine for me.

  • I like a watch that has "lived" a little. As I'm looking to purchase items on the used market. Just as long as the crystal is okay and everything works I'm okay with a few blemishes.

  • When I first got into watches I really enjoyed more elaborate or wild watches but I have noticed that what I like to wear is very different from the ones that I read about.

commented on Coming soon! ·

It will be. I have considered getting this one as well. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it.

commented on Do you actually have any other hobbies? ·

Fountain pens, photography, and traveling
