Hello, glad to be here.

Looking forward to being part of the watch crunch community. Spouse bought me a large watch case- so now there is room for even more watches...next candidates: field watch, dive watch. Or bauhaus.

Welcome to WC, I've been digging both two-tone and Bulova watches lately. Looking forward to seeing what else you've got and what you fill the new box with. Cheers.

Welcome to WC and nice Bulova haven’t seen that particular one before. Any ideas on what brands you’re going to look at for the next piece or are you keeping your options open?

Welcome! What fields and divers are you considering?

·

All those empty watch slots are what will get you in the end! Careful! 🙂 Welcome!

Welcome to WC! Cool looking Bulova 👌

Thank you. In addition to a vintage 80's Seiko Lasalle purchased new, several Bulovas, one purple Invicta- gift from a boss in 2009, one Jules Jergensen purchased in the late '90's while on the Norway - a now defunct NCL ship that was originally the S S. France, a Benrus ftim 1993, the mandatory G-shock, and several nontraditional designs. 14 in all. 15 counting a nonrepairable Bulova Millenia. Room for another 11-12. In memoriam: 14K gold and steel Concord purchased in 1985 in Lucerne.

Best watch story: Stainless steel and white face Seiko that literally saved my life in 1984. Some poirly stacked metal shelves fell on me- the watch band took the hit and deflected them around me- no injury, but large dent in the bracelet. Sadly watch was eventually stolen.

Love the Seiko Turtle Save the Ocean series for a diver. A tad large for my 6.125" wrist.

Field watch trickier. Maybe Hamilton. Lots of options.

To be sure. One 20 slot case, plus another 6 slot case less 14 warches- so room for another dozen. More if I get rid of any. Most categories are covered- five dress watches, one automatic, one tool watch, several bizarre watches, an inexpensive chronometer style Bulova. But no true diver. Or field/ pilot watch. No bauhaus style - love Nomos or Junghan. No racing watch - like a Tag Heur Monaco for example. And I am a petrol head.

Meanwhile, fell in love with a Hublot Classic Fusion in blue at a boutique. Perfect fit. Grail watch money at almost $8K. So...pass for now.
