My 2024 #sotc!

So being a recent newbie to WatchCrunch and the watch collecting online world, state of the collection is something new to me. I like the concept of showing evolution of your collection over the years.

So here is my first #sotc post:

Casio Royale World Time

I love this watch. It’s one of the best value watches out there and looks amazing.

Casio A168

Another classic from Casio. Looks great, and serves its purpose as an everyday watch very well.

Armitron Griffy

My new addition, the Armitron Griffy! I think the retro look is awesome. Simple geeky looking watch.

Esquire 300670

This was the first nice watch ever gifted to me for my Confirmation in Grade 8 by my grandmother. It’s a nice dress watch.

Fossil BQ1007

This is the first watch I ever bought myself on a whim, maybe 10 years ago. I was in a Fossil store looking for a nice messenger bag as I had just landed my first real architecture job out of school. I saw this watch in the display case and it just spoke to me.

PAGANI Design PD-1782

A relatively new purchase. I was looking for some affordable but decent watches to quench my insatiable thirst for adding to my collection. This PAGANI Design Watch is actually decent quality for the money. I’m happy with the purchase.

Tayroc Iconic TY1

I bought this watch during Covid. I was looking for an affordable dress watch but this chronograph stood out to me. I had it in the cart for a few days before Tayroc sent me a 50% code. So I went with it. It’s much nicer in person and didn’t break the bank. I love the blue second hand.

SteelDive 1953

Another relatively new purchase from Ali Express, the SteelDive 1953. An homage watch I know, but for the money, the quality is good and let’s face it, I probably won’t ever have enough for the real deal Rolex. I’m happy with this purchase and it looks great on wrist.

SteelDive 1970

Same as the SteelDive 1953 above, I picked up this homage watch for relatively cheap. But the quality is good and I’m happy with it.

Casio Duro Marlin

Probably my favourite watch in this box. I love the look and feel. Works awesome as an everyday beater but also cleans up nice for a night out with a steel bracelet.

Unknown Watch

I picked up this watch either from eBay or Ali Express. Don’t know much about it other than I thought it looked cool with the elegant skeleton style and leather strap.

Sinobi S9372G

This watch was gift from my aunt. She thought it was unique and knew I liked watches. I’m pretty sure it’s from Wish.

Faux-lex

My dad had this in his collection. He doesn’t remember where he got it but knows it a fake. I don’t wear it but I have it…

Tayroc Storm TY140

Another Covid purchase with discount codes from Tayroc. I was looking for a minimal dark style dress watch and this fit the bill.

Timex Weekender

Probably my second favourite watch to wear. It was cheap, it’s loud and it’s great for everyday wear. It can get beat up and the strap is comfortable.

Seiko 7005-7130

This was my dads watch from the 70s. He wore it until he cracked the screen. It’s scratched and beat up but technically still functions. It’s in need of service.

Apple Watch Series 5

This was the watch that paused my watch collecting. I wore this during Covid to stay active and I like tech. Well now it’s battery is 💩 but works well as a workout tracker.

Update January 27th:

Casio G-Shock GM2100

Probably my favourite watch right now.

Update: February 8th

Serica 4512: A beautiful watch with an awesome California dial.
