SOTC. First year of collecting
Hi you fine WC’ers. I caught the bug nearly exactly a year ago. In an bad way. And looking at my watchbox seems I buy one each month on average 😁 It’s been fun in the rabbit hole, and I expect to be there for an while.
Except for the Möels&Co 528 LE, I kept my each purchase under a €1000, so still able to pay for light and heating.
So curious what 2024 will bring! I hope a Citizen Chronomaster AQ4020-54y 😉
Citizen Tsuyosa; Oriënt Bambino; Ginsbomatic 1968 Greenwich; Laco Augsburg 42mm Blaue Stunde; Möels&Co 528; Boldr Safari GMT Tarangire; Brew Retromatic Black; G-Shock GA-B2100-1AER; Swatch Irony Happy Joe; Casio Duro (Marlin); Seiko SARX041 Laurel Re-Edition; Citizen BM8560-11XE.
Started this year. Still in the phase thinking I’ll never ever buy anything over € 2.000.
Wow! Nice collection you got there in a year. Interesting that you went for some colorful dials already!👏

Thanks! Still needing a red, I feel.
Nice collection and happy 1 year anniversary since catching this terrible bug! I think the Brew is my favorite of the bunch - good luck on the next year ahead, looks like you’re gonna need a bigger box 🍻

Thank you very much. The Brew was the gateway drug.
Very nice, very diverse collection! Looking forward to what '24 will bring.
I follow the same pattern - fell down the rabbit hole in March, now at nine watches bought this year :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥 love these!!!

Are you now a 240-watch person? ;)
You're off to a great start, I'll be sharing my sotc on new years just because I have more on the way haha, I only started in June thinking it would be a casual hobby but it's almost every day I'm window shopping lol 😆
Very nice collection. 👍
Throw a bracelet on that Duro. You won’t be sorry. 😀
Nice collection. I like that you have bands and steel. Nice color as well. Very balanced.
Welcome to the insanity. Lol
I like this watch. About to pick up the orange dial myself. $85 for the red one though. Exhibition back. Great micro brand.
Great price to add some red.
Great collection!! I love them all, but the yellow Citizen looks awesome and really stands out.
You have more than I do lol!
Awesome collection with great variety. For 2024, I suggest you take your time. Give your self time to enjoy your collection. If you make a new purchase, give yourself a good 2 months of honeymoon.
Great collection! Love the diversity there!
Very nice collection. 👍

Thanks for the tip! I will.

Indeed indeed
Nice collection. I like that you have bands and steel. Nice color as well. Very balanced.
Welcome to the insanity. Lol
You obviously speak from experience :)
Nice collection… but if you have been collecting for a year I can’t help thinking you may have gone to fast too quickly. Speaking from personal experience it can take me a year just to decide if I like a watch or not. I need to try it in summer v winter, on different strap/bracelets, for different occasions to categorically say that I like or do t like a watch
Yes. I’m there now. Terrible hurry has gone
That Moels grabs your attention.
Are you now a 240-watch person? ;)
Lol, i was at one point. Cut back quite a bit over the last couple years and sold off a portion of them. It gets too expensive lol
I like this collection a LOT. A man after my own heart. The Bambino gold and green dial - one of my favorites combinations from Orient. So many cool pieces - thanks for sharing!
