State of the collection

I see a very definitive trend in your style. Which one do you wear the most? 

Man that Tudor is a fine lookin watch. And since Marc and TGV pointed it out I can't not see the, ahem, object at the 12 o'clock on the speedy

Every one of those watches could be the capstone of another person's collection. I like all of them but I only covet the Alpinas.

Great collection you have. Rock solid👌

What are the bands on the left-most Alpina and the Tudor?  

Definitely a Flieger watch guy 😎

I think currently it’s either the IWC Spitfire Chronograph or the Tudor

The brown one is from TStrap and the one on the Tudor is from Archer Straps. You can find both on Amazon for around 20€

Nice collection and love the different color straps👍

You seem to have a thing for watches with dark dials, which is the one style I don’t own, but could be the next.

Good lord, sir. No bracelets!!! 😉

Beautiful collection!

Thats a killer collection! I love that they are all on straps too. Not a bracelet kind of person eh?

Very solid collection 🍻 thank you for sharing ❤️

What's on the left?  That one is killer.

Already saw it on another message board but great collection once again! The white IWC ... 🤤

Great looking collection! 🔥

Love the mark xviii in white 🔥🔥 I have been really interested in these since they a little more manageable size-wise for me in the IWC fam

I think your cheapest one is still more expensive than my most expensive 😮

You, sir, have wonderful taste. 

This is a killer collection. 

... that white IWC is fantastic. 

I started “cheap“ too. My first cool watch was a Seiko 5 Sports Sea Urgin for 179€ at that time. I wore it every day until back when I was a student. Cheap or expensive, it doesn’t matter as long as you are happy with what you’re wearing. You know what I mean? :)

That’s the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Aluminium Ref. H80495845. Got it mainly because of the super cool color!

*Currently no bracelets :-D

As the days are getting warmer and my wrists decide to increase their circumference, I like to wear straps. Normaly the Tudor and Omega are on the original steel bracelets

I do the total opposite. When it gets hotter I switch to bracelets. Probably because I like to wear mine a little loose (and a few have tool free adjustments) that I’m not bothered by wrist swell. I am grossed out by sweaty leather. 🤣

Cheers! Again, beautiful collection.

That’s also fair 😄 If I had a bracelet with micro adjust / quick adjust, I’d wear one more often, but currently I am not willing to spend 1400€ on the IWC one 

Which one do you wear the most? Also, i can't help but see how similar the Alpina and IWC watches are. How do they compare and why keep both brands in the collection? (i dont know much about both brands) 

Yes indeed! Especially the Chrono you see in the picture is of great quality. I would compare the quality of the case and dial to Breitling. The movement is a refined Valjoux 7750, also very solid and reliable. 

That is a great collection!

Great collection! I would wear every piece.  I noticed you are not a Nato only strap fan. I take all Nato straps off - don't feel good on my wrist.  Other straps make a watch look so much better - your collection is evidence of that!

Thanks a lot!

I used to be a Nato fan, but over the time I liked fabric or leather straps much more. A Nato usually makes the watch thicker compared to a non-Nato

I’m such the opposite to this.  All of my watches, bar one, are on bracelets, and I have the original OEM bracelet for that watch sitting in a bank vault for when the leather ultimately gives up the ghost.
