Do you tend to buy more iconic classics (speedys, tanks, santosโ€™, subs, navitimers, monacos) later in your watch journey? Or do you get into more unique (or even weird) pieces the longer you are in the watch game?

The Probably Hardest Decision...

All are ultra-classic to me, but I am so torn between them. I adore the compact dimensions of the "large" Cartier Tank Must model on the right, and co...

I donโ€™t do impulse buying BUTโ€ฆ

I've been on the lookout for a dress watch for years, and it's quite unexpected that I found the perfect one at Breitling of all places, at their newl...

Such a well-made allrounder! No watch beats it at this price point.

It actually changes so much in sunlight and photos donโ€™t do it justice! It can turn into a very light grey and Breitling calls this color anthracite. You can also not see the rose gold B in the image above.

Thanks, mate! It's the L1.611.4.52.2

Love the watch, might put it on my wishlist for the far future :D

The movie wasn't "deep" but very entertaining IMO.

First of all, is that a Breitling B adorned on a tram?!

Here are my first and last bigger purchases (35mm and 40mm respectively, quite a contrast):

commented on Why Buy Affordables When You Have Expensive Watches? ยท

Oh, what a splendid Seiko, my dear friend! I, too, decided to go with a Seiko - the Seiko 5 Sports Field Watch (SRPG35K1), despite already having a Tudor and Omega in my collection. It was during a trip to Japan earlier this year that I stumbled upon it and just thought, "Wow." An automatic movement? A display caseback? So many features, and indices not just printed on the dial? And with its tasteful size of just under 40 mm, all at such an affordable price point? I liked it a lot then, and still do so now.

Though it doesn't get to be on my wrist as often as my other, more pricey ones, it does get wrist time for about two days each month, especially on those special Sundays when the red "SUN" marker comes out.

The only aspect I find lacking in comparison to my luxury watches is the quality of the watch crystal, which feels somewhat less refined and lacks an anti-reflective coating. But considering the price, one can't reasonably expect more. Cherish your new acquisition!

Which one would you get?

I would like to add one blue-dialed watch to my collection. I know both are quite different and I would likely use the Black Bay 58 39MM more as a " b...
