Hey everybody ๐
I decided to show you my updated collection, as there were many changes since the last SOTC.
Many watches have left me, which are:
What was added since:
I know, my collection fluctuates a lot and I'd be happy to find a way to stop this, but I think my collection can be divided into the keepers and the "toys". The keepers are e.g. the Speedmaster, the Explorer 1 and the IWC Spitfire Chrono, but I'd consider the other ones the toys. Not in a manner of degrading the watches, In fact they are great watches, but they are only here to stay until I decide that I have seen them, have enough of them and pass them to someone who values them more than I do. I believe it is the hunt for new watches that makes this hobby fun for me personally, not the part owning them.

Great collection. Is dark dial an intentional theme?
You have a great collection and obviously great taste also ๐
Thanks @Relvee !
I think dark dials attract me more, as they are usually more stealth if you get what I mean. When wearing a light colored watch, it attracts much more attention than all my other darker watches. And especially when I'm in the office, I don't necessarily want people to stare at my wrist. I had the white dial IWC Mark XVIII that I gave to my SO as its the only watch from my collection that she'd wear size-wise. So in case I need or want to wear a light and bright watch, there's still that IWC ๐
You have a great collection and obviously great taste also ๐
Thanks @Dxnnis ! Nice to see that we share a similar taste. Seems like you're a pilot style watch fan too?
Great collection my friend, I too also gravitate to the dark dials, I have thought about creating a collection of light dials for summer and have a summer watch collection and winter collection ๐
Nice!ย
Very sophisticated collection, I love all your choices. The speedy and Tissot are particular favourites of mine. ๐ป
How did you come to decide the Tudor wasn't for you?

Good idea, but I'm pretty sure this won't work out. Imagine buying a watch that you put away for ~6 months per year. At least I couldn't resist the temptation to wear it nonetheless and make it one single coherent collection again :D

Thanks a lot @Deeperblue !
I didn't wear it often (enough) and I'm not even sure why that was. I think it was just too top-heavy. The bracelet was good but very solid and heavy and the watch felt like a brick on the wrist. Eventually a friend of mine offered me his Navitimer B01 (that you can see in the photo) and we made an exchange. You now may think "Wait, the Navitimer is even heavier than the BB GMT" and you're probably right, but with the leather strap it sits quite tight and the weight spreads evenly across the 46mm wide surface. It actually feels lighter than the BB GMT.
๐Nice collection! I would add a white dial to the collectionย
Super cool collection bro!! ๐ but where is the dive watch for the summer action? ๐

Thanks! If you see my previous SOTC, I had a white dial watch that I gave to my SO. Means itโs still in this house and I can wear it, but itโs technically not mine anymore ๐
Super cool collection bro!! ๐ but where is the dive watch for the summer action? ๐
Thanks! Iโm not more than a desk diver to be honest. In the pool/lake/ocean Iโm not wearing any of my watches as I find it rather uncomfortable
Aaayeeeeee ๐ฅย

Yeah good point but it a good excuse for buying mor watches ๐ย
Stop at a Walmart watch counter... that's my collection apart from the 5 customized watches. I like your collection more.

Cheers Brian! Itโs not about monetary value, itโs all about emotions. I have not a single customized watch, mine are all off the shelf. Thatโs where youโre miles ahead ๐๐
Great collection!ย
Can I get an ID on the Speedmaster strap?
Absolutely, here you go:

With the code THX10 you should get 10% off their straps
Is what because it's newer? ๐ค
That the Tissot gets more time on wrist?
That the Tissot gets more time on wrist?
Ah I see. On one hand itโs one of the newer models in my collection so I naturally want to wear it, right? On the other hand it sits more comfortable than most of the other watches I own and have owned in the past. Also I like that it was rather cheap in comparison to previous purchases and I donโt handle it as careful as e.g. a 6000โฌ watch thus making wearing it kind of relaxed. I hope you get what I mean ๐
These watches do not suck.ย

Nicely done
Wow you got yourself a respectable All Star line up. โจ
Looking good! How'd you land on those pieces? What's next? And what's your collection goal?
