Beginner watch collector of 3 years. Am I cooked? They’re placed from oldest to newest

https://www.reddit.com/r/PrideAndPinion/s/ar5BfIZYXE

Some family heirlooms. Some gifts. Some purchases. The only watch here that doesn’t mean anything to me is the Speedmaster on the left. Everything else will never be sold. I have started a tradition of getting a new watch for every new location and/or role my job moves me into. Watches are a stupid hobby, but…it gives me something to look forward to and sort of symbolizes what I have achieved and what I am hoping to achieve in the future. I am about to be moved again here in a few months and look forward to hearing what you guys think of the current collection and what you think should be next!

Sometimes you need a bit of red in your life! Do you have any red in your collection?

📸⌚️It feels like a good time to capture my #sotc as we approach the end of 2024. Technically also still includes a Cartier Santos but that will be sold once normality resumes after the festive period. Not sure where my collection will go next, certainly need to spend more time looking at different strap options. Be good to hear what your favourite is from the lineup!

SOTC 2024 into 2025

Starting with this core collection for 2025. I think I'll be on a lookout for 4 options this year. GMT , Chronic, white dial and green dial. (That's what I say but my next watch will prob be another blue dial...)

I think the greatest decision this year was putting on the BB54 T-Fit on the BB58. It was a pricey decision but well worth it; I've been loving it back on the bracelet and prob won't take it off now...I think

Hope everyone had a great holiday season and happy new year 🎊!

I’ve been into watches for probably over 10 years. I’d say I started truly collecting about 3 yrs ago, meaning actively doing some research and learning about watches I was interested in. Early last year I decided to downsize from around 40 watches down to 10 and started to acquire what I would call “bigger pieces” 🤭. Here’s where I am so far. Plan from now on is to only get a watch for my birthday and/or one during llast qtr of the year during watch fair season, preferably just the one watch per year…wish me luck lol.

Just sharing my collection that I have accumalated over the past 8 years since I got my first watch.

Casio F91W - Received this as a gift recently. As someone who isn't a big fan of G Shocks to my surprise ive really been enoying wearing this specificially at the gym the fact that its really thin and all black really makes it feel quite seemless while using it to workout.

Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 38 - This is the second watch that I purchased myself and the first that I truly spent alot of time researching and thinking about how it would fit into my collection. It serves as my dedicated Nato strap watch as I really enjoy wearing nato's. Field watches are probably my second favourite category right after dress.

Omega SMP 2220.80.00 - The first watch that probably started it all. I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to acquire this watch through a family member at a great price back then I was quite young probably around 14-15 and this was the first time I had saved up enough to buy something so expensive I was always somewhat aware of most watches and definitely quite aware of the bond watches as I used to admire them on Daniel Craigs wrist in the movies so when this casino royale ref came up it almost felt unreal that I was able to get it at that age and time.

Omega Speedmaster Cal 1861 - This was bought not too long ago I believe in 2023. This was a watch that I always liked but never considered due to the size however I was unsuccesfully looking for Grand Seiko's locally as Imo it is one of the most interesting brands for me currently and got a chance to try on the speedy at a local boutique and immediately felt like getting it as the size truly fits much better then expected. I still beleive its slightly on the larger size but since it is a sports watch im fine with it but this is probably the largest i would go.

JLC Reverso - My most recent acquisiton that I didnt have the stomach to purchase so I never really thought about owning it but I had the budget for a vacation saved up for a few years now and I havent really gone anywhere so now that im coming up on a major event in my life and getting married this year I thought why not .A "grail" watch for me since the first time i found out about it I could talk about the marketing material regarding history and JLC's importance in watchmaking but truly I coudlnt care as purely from a design perspective this is the watch that best suits me.

King Seiko 4502-7000 - A watch I came to know due to my interest in Grand Seiko's. I randomly stumbled upon the history of Seiko and its sub brands King & Grand Seiko where I watched many videos and read many articles regarding Seiko's accomplishment and the competition between the 2 factories producing KS & GS which I really enjoyed which led me to the archives of models produced where I really liked pretty much all of vintage KS as compared to GS which led me to this tastefully sized vintage KS with what I beleive has a really cool case and movement. I sometimes want to collect all of the vintage peices but trying to remain somewhat sane.

Cartier Tanks Solo/Must - So I kind of cheated this actually isnt my watch I just put it in the picture to visualise somewhat what my complete collection will look like for the next few years atleast. I am getting a Tank Must black dial as a gift on my wedding so kind of made sense to have this here to complete the picture.

Raymond Weil 2835 - Finally the RW tradition this was my first "Luxury watch" that apparantly as per my mother was gifted to my father the same year I was born by my Grandfather. I find the watch to be really elegant with the textured dial, sub seconds & the gold plated case. Being my first watch I had used this as a beater pretty much every single day for quite some time and now is not worn frequently but mostly on special occassions.

Thats it my 8 watch collection for a while hopefully some of these peices I plan to keep forever and never replacing but some I do at times think about replacing I am going to do a 1 in out out policy for the future as to not exceed 8 watches.

Let me know any thoughts or questions are welcome :D.

My watch collection so far! Just wanted to share what I have so far. The Seiko is the first watch I've ever owned, my dad got it for me when I graduated from gradeschool. As for the most recent one, just got myself a BB54 for my 30th birthday 🥹

Excited to see how this'll fill up over the next few years!
