My collection at 17 years old. I’ve been in the hobby for just under a year now but didn’t start buying my own until a few months ago. I’m liking my own variety so far as I discovered what styles and colors fit with me.

I’d love to discuss or answer any questions about any of them. Nobody around me shares this hobby, it can get lonely🥲

Collector Description:

Beginning collection as a college student.

Hey guys so I’m new to collecting. I got into watches and went down the rabbit hole a little over a year ago now. To the left is a timex expedition chronograph which the battery is dead and I don’t wear anymore. It was the first watch I bought freshman year of college. In the middle is my combat sub I bought last year and this was my first I guess somewhat real watch I’ve bought. I bought it after I got into watches. To the right is my brand new Seiko x nano universe I just bought and receive the other day from someone. Great condition and I decided to throw it on a bond nato, but the bracelet is the best I’ve experienced yet and it’s by far my favorite watch in this collection.

Anyways I just wanted to share to you guys the beginning of what hopefully will be a growing and someone become a great collection and have some of my grails. I do plan on replacing the combat sub with a Baltic titanium, what do y’all think about that?

Collector Description:

My Field and Pilot Tool watch collection.

I've been into this stuff since around 2015 when I started wearing Gshocks. Once I started looking toward nicer watches, the Hamilton Khaki series really captivated me because I like the field watch asthetic, and those are a great value. I think field and pilot watches are easy to read, not too flashy, and fit in on most occasions. I've bought and sold a few watches over time and learned I really don't like bright colors, or the thick squared off case profiles you find on a lot of dive watches. But I do prefer a water resistance that is appropriate for swimming, which was a factor when adding the Sinn and Longines to the box. The CWC is the really the only chronograph I've come across that I like enough to own. Not very thick, very legible, and has very understated dimensions. It's an under the radar collectable watch that blends in.

Next I would love to add a black bay 54. Thanks for looking.

Meanwhile, the Citizen Silver Leaf Lacquer NB1060-12L introduces a unique artistic element with its lacquered dial, and the Geckota W-02 Vintage Racing Chronograph offers a nod to motorsport enthusiasts with its vintage racing aesthetic. This collection is ideal for a collector who appreciates a mix of styles and functions, from the elegance of limited editions to the practicality of everyday wear. The collection's strengths lie in its ability to cover a wide range of use cases, from formal events to casual outings, while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic through its focus on quality craftsmanship and distinctive design elements.

My current state of my collection. I have a few more interesting pieces coming but this is it at the moment.

What do you guys think? I have a few doubles as crazy as that may sound. I will have to do something about that.

I’m not into divers or chronographs so those will always be missing but I like pretty much anything else as long as it’s a unique design or character.
