New Watch: Apple Watch added 😮

I recently added a new watch I never thought I would. An Apple Watch Series 9 on a sports strap. My wife, who also loves watches and has a nice collec...

Quality or Quantity?

I saw an interested question posed recently. Regardless of budget, is it better to go for quantity of watches or blow it all on one watch? For me that would be a Submariner, Datejust 41, Speedmaster P...

To me that means best looking dial but you could interpret it differently. Mine is my Speedmaster Professional. I caught myself staring at the dial th...

Welcome and amazing collection 👏. We have similar tastes so I really like all these. “Part of my collection” is intriguing too - looking forward to seeing the rest 😀

Haha guilty your honour. I’ve recently added an Apple Watch and have started double wristing on occasion.

I was in your situation around 2017. Read about the Submariner, strolled through the history and pictures online then when I tried it on I thought it was perfect. I was on mission to get one after that day.

Unfortunately the waitlist option didn’t pan out (I might even still be on it 😂). So I went grey and bought a 2018 114060 Submariner in excellent condition in 2020. It’s still my favourite watch and one I plan on keeping for a long time.

Good luck with your plan and wait. It will all be worth it, trust me 😀.

I’ve got mine on today funnily enough…

I have four plus a couple of beaters. I’m thinking of selling one to make it 3 plus beaters.

I have a 114060 and it feels and looks good in my opinion

The original question was multiple watches or all your budget on one watch but some interesting comments nonetheless. Thank you. 🙏

If we’re talking 3-4 watches vs 15-20+ watches for the same budget, I would (have) picked the small collection. Of course, quality is subjective too but in terms of cost only I have chosen to spend my budget on a small collection instead of lots.

I could swap them all for the Daytona but I wouldn’t as I like some variety.
