Collector Description:

The Opaline Tudor was purchased over the summer as a celebratory piece, the BB 39 the end of the year around the holidays to satisfy my desire for a jubilee and when I made that purchase I put my name down for a No-Date Sub expecting possibly a year or more to pass before hearing back. Wound up getting “The Call” for a Bluesy from that AD on Thursday and I think you can stick a fork in me, ☠️ I’m done for a while!

While I’ve always aspired to have a “grown up watch” when I was younger, the fact that I have been able to curate this collection of higher end pieces is astounding.

Collector Description:

Was able to grab a few pieces to commemorate some big milestones for myself since I've been into watches.

Bamford x Goodwoof Detective Snoopy: Got this to commemorate a position in a new field for me that that's heavy into research and a little detective work so it seemed fitting.

Bell & Ross BR03-92 : Switched from Army Guard to Air Guard and finally got a promotion that has been a lot of hard work and struggle to get to. Thought the dial fit my new specialty and the airplanes fit the Air Force vibe.

2005 Omega Seamaster Professional (2253.80) - A mentor of mine offered it to me for a steal of a price after a big operation I got to lead. He knew I was a big watch nerd too so that helped.

1993 Omega Speedmaster Deluxe (3592.50) - The watch that got me into watches, got it to celebrate my upcoming marriage. Figured it fitting to have on the big day.

What's everyone else's big momento/milestone watches? I'd love to hear everyone's stories behind the collecting and some cool timepieces!

Collector Description:

I wanted to share my 4 watch collection after recently purchasing the Seiko Dolce 6020-5930 as my dress watch. I’ve always liked the idea of having a smaller collection and I think, after many watches entering and leaving the collection, I’ve finally reached a small collection I’m happy with. I’ve been trying to be strict about my “one-in-one out” policy for my collection (which is so difficult 😅) to keep my collection reasonable.

Overall, I think it’s nicely balanced; the Seiko Dolce as my Dress watch, the Certina DS Action and Hamilton Khaki Field as my sports watches, and the Casio World Time AE1200 as my beater. Now IDEALLY I’d like to only have one sports watch, but I like them both too much to give one up.

I’d like to enjoy these watches for a while before switching it up again. However, I’ve already got my eye on the Citizen Fujitsubo Titanium to potentially replace my Certina…

Did some Black Friday shopping for new straps to spice up the collection. Put a taupe Epsom on the Lorier Zephyr, a dark alligator on the vintage chronograph, a Pueblo row stitch on the Laco Pro, and a blue nubuck on the Orient. I really love the Lorier and the new strap makes it feel brand new!

 

Aristo Triple Calendar Chronograph - I found it in one of my parents drawers the other day! The brand is Aristo and it’s a German company. Appears to be a modified Valjeaux movement and was made sometime in the 1960s. I need to take it to a local shop to see if it can be cleaned / serviced.

Collector Description:

I’ve been fortunate to add a few notable pieces to my collection recently and thought I would share for the Lange, Moser, and Speedy fans out there.

Omega Speedster Moonphase in white gold - This was produced in small numbers (< 500 total) starting in 1999 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Apollo 11, though there is no mention of Apollo 11 on the watch. Gorgeous dial, I’m a huge fan of all the silver/white dial Speedy variants, and the gold case has a nice weight to it. Thrilled to add this to the Speedmaster collection.

H. Moser Pioneer in arctic blue - A new, smaller Pioneer (40mm) released this year. The arctic blue fume sunburst dial is gorgeous, not fully captured in photos, but it really pops in any light. The watch is a brilliant sports watch with screw-down crown, 100m water resistance, and very comfortable rubber strap. True GADA option.

A. Lange 1815 up/down in white gold - One of my favorite Lange designs, just so clean and balanced on the dial. An unbelievable pleasure to wear. Hard not to stare at all the time. The blued hands are perfect and the silver dial has noticeable warmth to it. I’m always a bit cautious with watches under 40mm as they can seem small to me (this is 39mm), but the design and weight of this make it a spot on. [Tax paid]

 

H. Moser Endeavour Genesis - another GADA option, or not! Definitely an art piece but a beautiful collectible at that, released this year in a limited edition of 50 as the first installment in an envisioned triptych exploring the intersection of high horology and modern tech. Even if it’s not the most practical for daily wear, it’s beautifully executed and unique. I mean, who else 3D prints titanium? Also Moser does not disappoint on movement and finish. [Tax included]

The inclusion of prestigious brands like A. Lange & Söhne and H. Moser & Cie adds significant value and exclusivity. ### Ideas for Improvement 1. **Add a Sport/Active Watch**: Introduce a sport-oriented watch to enhance versatility. Consider the **Omega Seamaster Diver 300M** for its robust build and water resistance, priced around $6,000. 2. **Incorporate a Travel Watch**: A GMT or world-time watch would add functionality for frequent travelers. The **Rolex GMT-Master II** offers dual-time functionality and is priced within the collection's range. 3. **Expand Casual/Everyday Options**: A versatile everyday watch like the **Tudor Black Bay 58** would complement the collection's formal pieces, offering durability and style at approximately $4,000. ### Downsizing Advice Consider removing the **H. Moser & Cie Pioneer Centre Seconds** if downsizing is necessary. While it is a high-quality piece, it overlaps with the Endeavour in terms of brand and style, and its removal would have minimal impact on the collection's overall rating. ## Watch by Watch Summary 1. **A.

Collector Description:

I have a lot of watches in my collection but my current favorite 4 are my newly acquired Longines HydroConquest GMT, Rolex DateJust, Tudor BlackBay Chronograph and Omega Speedmaster.

These four currently fit the bill for me and I’m having a lot of fun rotating them during the week.

They all bring something different to the table and I thoroughly enjoy how similar but also how uniquely different each watch is.

I’m currently looking into adding a Cwc to the collection which may change my rotation so we shall see how that plays out.
