SOTC, post yours!
Hey All,
First real post on here, so I thought I would start with a state of the collection post to show where I’m at. Would love to see yours as well in the comments!
From left to right:
-Tag Heuer Formula 1 Calibre 5 Auto
-Tudor 1926
-Longines Master Collection (moon phase)
-Hamilton Khaki Auto
-Longines Legend Diver
-Laco Karlsruhe Pro
-1990’s Tag Heuer Professional Quartz
-Oris Big Crown Bronze 80th Anniversary
Don’t pay too much attention to the straps, I like messing around with them and change them often!

Looks like you got some work to do to fill up this box 😂

It’s an endless struggle. Cheap Amazon box ended up winning as my storage choice so I either need to fill it up or get a nice 8 bin one!

Geoff Beeezos always wins. I think you get the biggest box possible and just keep buying 😂. No limits.
what do you think of the 1926? are you using it much?
This is what inhabits my watch box. in addition, a couple of Vostoks, my beater Timex Expedition and an Atlantis (not shown)

Sold my snk803 4 days ago. Hurts a bit TBH

I love the 1926! The especially enjoy the texture on the dial and the bracelet. It’s a really nice bracelet, and surprisingly comfortable. I wear mine a good amount. I wear it to the office with a dress shirt quite often, but it can also go more formal than that. I wore it with a suit at a wedding this summer and it got tons of compliments. Even on some weekends with casual jeans and a tshirt it doesn’t look too out of place. I’d think of it more as an “everyday” watch than a dress watch.

Yes, JLC Reverso Duo. My favorite piece and travel buddy thanks to the second time zone.

I think versatile watches like this are often overlooked. plus it has potential to retain some value.
That Longines moonphase looks fantastic. I wish they made more in smaller sizes, after speaking to a salesperson apparently even the 38.5mm ones are not too popular here in Sydney.
My latest SOTC. The only change is that I added an Orion Calamity.

Completely agree! It was also my first introduction to Tudor. And even though it’s “entry level” for Tudor, the quality is fantastic

Wow, amazing collection!!!

You know I kind of flip flop with that watch. I’m actually wearing it today. It’s one of those pieces that every time I wear it I remember how much I love it, but it definitely doesn’t get enough wrist time.
I think this one is 42mm? Absolutely massive for a dress watch. Luckily I have a large wrist, but I agree if they did more in 38mm they would be really perfect.

I have an eight slot one and I think it’s plenty! If I didn’t like the box so much I would probably get a five or six slot one. Maybe not realistic of me though since my actual count is usually around ten watches…
Wow, amazing collection!!!
Thanks. This is a little over a decade of incremental improvements.
My wife is also very interested in watches and she has built quite a collection for herself. She will wear every watch here in the course of each month.
