SOTC 2023 - 1 Year Into Watches

I just want to share my current state of the collection. Reading posts from all of you have given me a lot of inspiration on how to find out what I like, and when I should really buy that watch. WC has been fun for me, I surely will stay tuned to all the future posts!

Edit: I see a lot of comments about not rushing, so I feel like I have to prove that I have been slowing down:

Great watches all, I could only afford to buy two of them alas, but good going.

You will reach where you want to be someday!

I never had any hobby that spends a lot of money before watches, so I had a few to spare when I started. It's going to slow down a lot from now on though (hopefully).

My way is to think that "I have only 4 empty slots now so I better not use up all the quotas too quickly".

·

Fantastic collection never mind the time you have collected.

Great collection, great watches💪

This is the way 🙌

Very nice collection and I like your thinking!

·

Quality over quantity 💪

Great collection, that Zenith is such a great looking watch.

If I was in the market for a chronograph, that would be at the top of my list.

Well done!

That's a solid collection there. You have two of my grail watches the Zenith and the GS, those are the exact models on my list. So I really like your taste! Maybe get one watch that is just more just for fun. Depending on what that is for you there are all kinds of directions you could go. I feel like my entire collection is mostly just fun watches. Maybe at some point I'll get more serious and get my other grail watches. Thanks for sharing the collection.😎

Im very happy that you like it! What are your suggestions for fun watches?

Stellar collection - looks like you’re the one doing the inspiring! Is there a reason why the Tissot and Hamilton are on the bottom row?? 🤙😂😆❤️

There you go, palfor answered it for me😂😂

·

It's great that you diversified your collection with different brands and different types of watches🥰

Maybe something would work for you or something similar for a fun watch for you?

Awesome collection! Curious, what made you decide on a chrono as your first watch?

·

I hate to point out the obvious, but as nice a collection as this is, you are missing a God Tier selection 😂 Seriously though, great picks. Wear them in good health! 🍻

·

Fantastic start to the collection I’d say now you know what a quality watch feels like and what you like take a little wander off the beaten path and see where that takes you great start with zenith. So many special watches out there when you know where to look

Keep up the good work

One other bit of advice never get a bigger box. It will ruin you 😂

·

Pretty quick moves but if you know what you like, I see no problem. I think the issues come up when you start needing to sell and realize you didn't know what you like, if that ends up happening. Then you have to start selling, shipping, haggling, losing money. Not suggesting you're heading that way. I didn't move as quickly and I've never sold a watch. I go for what I like and I'm in a good spot to slow down my purchasing.

·

Simply stunning and perfectly curated collection 👌

What is next?

The jlc polaris perpetual calendar is currently on the top of the list for 30th birthday gift to myself🤤

My both parents had a chronograph as their only watch for a long time, so chronographs were like the "default" choice for me.
