SOTC 2023

I thought I would do a slightly different State of the Collection. The Year has just started and my ambition is not to enlarge my collection for 2023. 

As you can see it's more than a SOTC, 
it's kinda a state of the obsession😎😂

The essence of my collection consists of numerous Seikos. Most of them are somewhat rarer unknown vintage models that I like to hunt for.

I was able to buy one of my Grail watches this year. It is the centre of the collection. The Grand Seiko SBGN005. For 2024 I plan to add a Spring Drive - White Birch and until then to exercise restraint with new additions. Wish me luck🙏😂

Image

Of course, I have a few God-Tier Casios for all occasions when the going gets a little rough💪

In addition, I now have 6 watches that I have assembled "myself" The three watches at the top left and top right. 

Plus two different Tissots and a Swatch, which must have been one of my first watches as a teenager. 

By the way, the white Tissot was my only watch for a long time, and I'm sure it was the only watch I wore for more than 10 years.

Last but not least, at the bottom right are the two watches of my great-grandfather (Omega pocket watch and his Buren). 


I have a lot of fun with my collection and am happy to share it with you here! 
 

I wish you a great New Year✨!

Thank you very much. 

I thought I would do something different. It took me ages to get all the watches out of the boxes😂 But it was worth it and it made me realise the extent of my collection😜

You have a wonderful collection, I love the diversity of styles, colors, bracelets/straps, and more.  You seem to have something for any occasion or mood.  I love it!

Great collection, and love your grail, I am looking to add an SGBN003 if I can find one.

Thank you very much for the compliment!😍 
You have captured exactly what I am aiming for with my collection. Diverse, agile and above all a little bit of everything and yet clearly focused within the Seiko range and relatively specific even there. If that makes sense🤣
