Collector Description:

Picked Up a New Watch Today. Let Me Know What You Think

 

About a year or so ago I posted my collection and asked for advice on a chronograph. I’ve spent the past year or so considering various chronographs (Zenith, Breitling, etc.), but I kept coming back to the Speedmaster. At the same time, I didn’t want to add a Speedmaster as my fourth watch. My collection was fairly cookie cutter luxury watch, and the Speedy was another in that vain. Besides, I travel often, and am much more likely to use a GMT function than a chronograph. So, I started looking for GMTs and stumbled across the Grand Seiko Shosho. I immediately knew it was the watch, and I bought it online the next day without ever seeing it in person. It arrived today, and pictures do not do it justice. I am in love with this watch.

I’ll still likely add a chronograph next, and probably a Speedy (though perhaps the new white dial?). But I’m going to take a good bit before getting a new watch and enjoy this collection as is.

 

I plan to largely wear the Shosho on blue leather, though the bracelet isn’t bothering me as much as some reviews would indicate. It feels solid and I’ll likely use it often as well.

Let me know what you think of my collection and what else you think I should consider. I’ve also got a Day Date on my list, but that’s designated as a 40th birthday present for myself in a few years.

This month’s travel Selection

 

I know some people freak out about traveling with watches. It is a matter of where you’re going obviously, and what you’ll be doing there, so I don’t mean to be flip. If I’m going to some tourist hotspot I’m just wearing my Moon Swatch, I get it…

But it’s been a business trip, had to go to NY and Shanghai, so here’s my travel selection. I also have a lot of metal and leather bracelets with color stones that I wear mainly on the other wrist.

 

Im very happy and grateful to get to own these watches. I’m posting this because I know there are a few fellow watch nerds here beyond the usual brands, so I’m just sharing my joy.

These three are now my main collection. i was thinking of just keeping it a twosome which was my Sinn and my SPB213... but I found a deal that I could not pass on for a bronze khaki field mechanical, which I've always thought about buying.

I think I have a thing for tool watches though... Can't complain. I do also have a casio DB in gold, and an old Vario handwind with a red dial that my wife got me like 5 years ago.

Let me know what you think, or what you would add.

Collector Description:

Hello everyone,

I want to share my 3-watch collection with you. Over time, I have owned around 15 different watches, and I have narrowed it down to these 3. This collection is very versatile and covers almost all the bases, in my opinion. I should mention that I don't wear suits or tuxedos and don't plan to anytime soon, so there's no need for a true dress watch in my collection.

I have also established the "one in, one out" rule since I don't consider myself a collector, so 3 watches are more than enough.

Cheers!
