I'm done with watch collecting ! SOTC 2023
I think I'm done with watch collecting. After few years of collecting, I think I don't have to buy watches anymore.
Some people can say : you need a dress watch or a chrono. But I don't care.
I know which watches I like and I have them.
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 green 40mm, my sport chic Watch.
Longines Hydroconquest blue ceramic 41mm, my 30 yo watch
Seiko 5 SNXS080, my fun watch. My dress watch.
Seiko Turtle Padi, my beater. My holiday watch. My GSHOCK in steel.
Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 blue, my last watch and my everyday watch (my GADA)
Hamilton Murph, the watch I wear on different straps, nato, leather
And I have 2 more GSHOCK.

Love the simple and balanced collection.
The gold SNXS80 with that jubilee bracelet really gives out that beautiful vintage feel. May need to get a gold SNXS before it disappears off the market. You can throw the SNXS80 on a leather strap and it would make a nice dress watch most of the time too.
Where did you get the gold jubilee bracelet?
Salute to you. We’ll see you around campus.
“I think I'm done with watch collecting” - the lies we tell ourselves 🤣
Look forward to seeing your next pickup! By the way, great collection!

I found this jubilee bracelet on Ali Express. And the quality is much better than the original bracelet
Great collection, but since you said “ I am done”…..have a feeling it will start up again

Good.
I have an oyster bracelet on my SNXS75 which I got from Aliexpress too. It's customary to purchase the bracelet from Aliexpress after you buy the SNXS.😅
Congratulations! I completed my primary collection awhile back, and there’s been no regrets. It feels nice to be satisfied with a collection, enjoy!
We seem to have similar tastes. I do have a Turtle PADI, a PRX and a SNKL… all of them great watches in their respective departments.
Same as for you, I strive for a balanced collection.
Great collection. I appreciate that you did your collection your way. I think you deserve a break to enjoy the spoils of all your hard work. Rest and be content to stand on the side lines because I have a feeling it won’t last long. I hope you prove me wrong. Cheers!
Famous last words 🤣
Enjoy your watches!
Cheers!
I admire your self control.
I too said that once. About 15 watches ago 😅
Every time I think I know which watches I like and have them, someone comes out with an awesome new model.
Congrats on the collection. I was done for about 13 years, but got drawn back in this year, so never say never …
Im always "done"... and then theres the wandering eye again....
I think you have a great collection! You may be set forever or at least a long time. I didn't buy a watch for a good ten years at one point .
Don’t let anyone tell you what you need in your collection. It’s your collection, not their collection.
Famous last words
But why??...
Best of luck to you and I hope you can do it.
Prediction: few months from now you post how you consolidated down to one (ROLEX, OMEGA, ETC).
but you kept the G Shocks.
hope I’m wrong because anyone should be happy with that group.
Good luck!!
Well done!
Very nice collection, but if you think you are done, you do not want to hang out here.
Great collection, but you'll always want something else sadly 😅.
Fantastic collection. Hope you hang on to those and good luck resiting… “THE HURGE”
Glad that you feel done.
Nice, solid collection. You can rotate 1 watch a day and still have spares.
