[SOTC] One for Land, Air, and Sea.

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!

the three gold watches of my collection
I took a picture
I’ve been collecting for 10 years and my preference has always leaned toward more classical dress watches. While I have a few steel pieces too, the gold ones are my favorite. from left to right, simple to most complicated: 1) vintage AP in yellow gold with the super cool caliber VZSS; 2) Breguet reference 7787 in rose gold with enamel dial; 3) JLC calendar chronograph in rose gold

Collector Description:

Got my vintage Speedmaster back from service today and with a recent pickup (the Horage) I now have filled my 8 slot box with mechanical watches (will need to start new storage for my quartz watches).

Going clockwise from top left we've got: 1979 Omega Speedmaster 861, Omega SMP NTTD, Omega Aqua Terra Saffron, Longines Legend Diver Bronze, Christopher Ward Trident Pro 300 Bronze, Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton, Horage Supersede Date, Longines Master Collection Chronograph.

Trying to limit myself to 8 mechanical watches so things don't get out of hand, but there may be some upgrades or substitutions to be made. Currently they are all round watches so I may try to trade something out for a different case shape. I'm not sure I need two bronze dive watches so maybe one of those will be something to let go of. At some point I would like to upgrade the Master Collection Chronograph to something like a Zenith or a Daytona if I'm so lucky.

Let me know what you think and any suggestions you have on something different to add!

This collection excels in **movement diversity, functionality, and design variety**, featuring a blend of robust tool watches and refined dress pieces.

Horage represents cutting-edge independent innovation with its micro-rotor movement.** - **Versatility Metric (8.5/10.0)** **The collection balances professional dive watches, chronographs, and everyday wearers, but lacks a high-dress watch for formal occasions.** - **Material Metric (8.3/10.0)** **Use of bronze and ceramic elevates the collection, but no precious metals (gold/platinum) or enamel dials reduce luxury appeal.** - **Rarity Metric (8.1/10.0)** **The Horage Supersede’s low production numbers and the James Bond Edition Seamaster provide exclusivity, but widely available Longines and Hamilton pieces lower the rarity factor.** - **Complications Metric (8.0/10.0)** **Chronograph, GMT, and skeletonized movements provide depth, but no high-complication pieces like a perpetual calendar or moonphase.** - **Cohesiveness Metric (7.9/10.0)** **The collection aligns well with tool watches and everyday sports watches, though the absence of a formal piece creates a thematic gap.** --- ## **Collection Strengths** -
