Description: <p>At this point in time, I was trying to maintain maximum versatility, while also covering my core watch interests with as minimal overlap as possible.<br/><br/>I had an interest in owning at least one, Japanese, Swiss, German, higher end Indy and Microbrand at the same time, while making sure I had coverage of my preferred watch genres. Dressier options like the GS and Armin Strom, great GADA watches like the Santos and the Ahoi and an adventure/rugged watch like the Humboldt GMT. Even though my collection has expanded, I mostly still prefer time only watches. In many ways, I wish I had stopped with these five, as I think this was probably my watch collection at its best.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/your-ideal-and-realistic-5-watch-collection.5415489/#post-55215229</p><p> </p>

Description: <p>Choosing travel companions. You know you have a problem when you think to yourself “I can only take 3 watches” and it’s a 4 day trip, I mean yes I could take 4, one on my wrist and 3 in the roll but then maybe I can leave with 3 and come back with 4..</p><p>Anyway, what do you guys typically choose, do you cover different bases? (One dress watch, one beater, etc.) or do you go with what you feel at the moment?</p><p> </p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline"><a href=https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/Gtwp6CPxxe target=_self>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/Gtwp6CPxxe</a></span></p>

Description: <p>To me these 3 watches, each one very different from one another in terms of form, design, function and type represent best of their respective worlds with one thing in common - Sheer class and love for good craftsmanship in terms of selling watches at mass level (even Rolex sells approx a million watches in a year not counting the secondary/pre-owned market</p><p> </p><p>https://www.watchcrunch.com/GodTierHere/posts/your-choice-of-3-watches-242316</p>

Description: <p class="font_8">My Complete (?) Grand Seiko Collection</p>
<p class="font_8"> </p>
<p class="font_8">From left to right:</p>
<p class="font_8">SBGM235, the rarer white version of the popular blue whirlpool dial, limited to 1,000 pieces, nicknamed the “Kiku” and my caller GMT watch / dress watch in a pinch. Automatic movement, caliber 9S66 movement. On a midnight blue stingray leather strap.</p>
<p class="font_8">SBGH267, the popular “Whirlpool” dial, limited to 1,500 pieces, my first Grand Seiko. Choosing my favorite of these three watches is hard, but honestly it’s this one (even though the Kiku gets more wrist time). Shout out to my local watch expert <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Sushi_All-Day/" target="undefined"><u>u/Sushi_All-Day</u></a> for getting me started on this whole journey – we talked about this watch so much that I couldn’t stop thinking about it and ended up getting it instead of the Shunbun or Snowflake or Omiwatari as my entry into Grand Seiko. Hi-beat movement, caliber 9S85. On a brown/tobacco crocodile leather strap (which originally came with the next watch on this list).</p>
<p class="font_8">SBGY035, the new red version of the Shunbun dial, nicknamed “Karasawa” and limited to 700 pieces. Honestly one of the most dramatic and iconic dress watches I’ve ever seen, especially because the color makes it much more divisive than, say, a white or blue dress watch. I jumped on this as soon as I saw it released earlier this year – I wanted a red dial watch for my collection, I needed a true dress watch, and my birthday is right around when this came out. This was a birthday present to myself this year. Manual spring drive, caliber 9R31 movement. On a black ostrich shin leather strap. My autumn watch.</p>
<p class="font_8">With that I think my Grand Seiko collection may be complete (though I’m open to temptations). Automatic, hi-beat, and spring drive. White, blue, red. A GMT, a daily blue dial watch, and a dramatic red dress watch. I’ve loved this journey so much, what an amazing watch brand, and of course I’ll get another if/when I visit Japan again.</p>
