Description: <p>I finally completed my 5 watch collection…</p><p><br/><br/>“The everyday watch”: Omega Speedmaster Sapphire<br/><br/>The first ever luxury watch I’ve ever bought. I’ve been in the market for a luxury watch for a while as I am really interested in the idea of family heirlooms (and I also like watches). As someone who grew up in an abusive household, I obviously never got to experience this. I decided to pull the trigger to commemorate a big moment in my life as well: I finally made up the courage to ask my boss for a promotion. It may or may not sound like much to you but as somebody who’s always been extremely shy and anxious this was one of my biggest accomplishments in my life. Straight after I literally took the elevator down to the office lobby, crossed the road straight to the Omega boutique and copped it right then and there without much research. I was stuck between this and the Seamaster NTTD diver but my heart chose the Speedy because it feels likes a better reflection of my personality (e.g. seems more numerical and smart) compared to the more sporty diver. Omega did such a great job with the finishing… it differently feels like its price tag. This will be gifted to my future son/daughter when its all said and done. Only complaint I have is that I wish the bracelet had more on the fly adjustments than half a link. Also shoutout to all the Omega employees, the whole buying experience was so lovely unlike the horror stories I’ve read about Rolex dealers. Before I left the sales guy also threw in a Snoopy plushy when he saw my Timex.<br/><br/>“The dress watch”: Cartier Tank Must Solarbeat Large<br/><br/>This one was a Christmas eve present from myself as I was coming off one of those years where it just seemed like nothing went right and the ball never seemed to bounce your way i.e Charlie Brown. I knew I would be spending Christmas alone last year and wanted something to cheer me up a little so after I said my “have a nice Christmas break” to everyone in the office, I walked straight to the Cartier boutique. I was intending to settle for the standard quartz but I guess I finally got lucky because apparently the Large Solarbeat models are almost impossible to find and the boutique quite literally had one delivered 15 mins before I arrived. It’s the first one they had in store in several months. That being said, in terms of “value for money” I personally think this watch is overpriced asf. Its beautiful and iconic but for a simple quartz movement I think its overpriced. I guess the Solar adds a bit more quirk to it. But I’m not sure why the solarbeat and standard quartz retail for the exact price? The strap doesn’t fit me either, it’s too big and I’ll have to go onto Bas and Lokes and buy one because Cartier’s didn’t allow me to exchange and their in house options cost an arm and a leg and probably not as high quality as B&amp;L. The solarbeat strap is also not leather but the standard one is? No idea why. But hey, no regrets, this watch was me at my lowest point and it represents the light at the end of the tunnel.<br/><br/>“The casual watch”: Hamilton Khaki Field Murph 38mm<br/><br/>Probably my most worn watch. No story about this one. I just thought it was cool to own a piece of movie memorabilia. I was looking for something more lowkey for more casual social events… sometimes its a bit inappropriate to pull up to the neighbourhood bbq cookout with an iced out AP. I think everyone should own a nice watch that will get compliments but won’t come off as snobby in certain environments. Either that or a watch you can wear and not afraid to get robbed at gunpoint. I wear it on nato just to give my collection some variety and I think all field watches should be on Natos anyway. The movement is great, it looks great, heritage is there, you can dress it up or down, its an absolute strap monster. I just love Hamilton’s field watch range. I few minor complaints is that the default strap is just meh (at least for the price is should better), the AR coating is just alright and the lume outright sucks. The speedy has better lume and its not a field watch.<br/><br/>“The fun watch”: Timex Marlin Snoopy Easy Rider<br/><br/>This is just a fun watch that I wear as a conversational starter. Its also my first automatic. It makes me a feel like a kid again and I’ve always been able to relate to Charlie Brown. Theres a guy on this sub that collects all of them and I’m mad jealous. I got this on sale on the Timex website (seems like their sales never end lol). For the price, the movement is pretty good and the strap isn’t awful? Although I am planning on swapping it out for a colourful nato or something more fun. It also has a slightly curved dial that makes it look a lot more expensive than what it actually is. However it came with terrible QC as the case back was not screwed on straight and I had to take to my local watch repairer to align it because of OCD.<br/><br/>“The beater watch”: Casio A158W<br/><br/>Nobody’s collection would be complete without a beater or a Casio. This was the first ever watch I ever bought back when I was a broke law student and it’s what kickstarted this whole obsession. It’s been through hell and back. Hot take maybe? This is the most versatile watch ever made. You can wear it as a beater due to its durable nature, casually as the stainless steel bracelet and retro design makes it look sporty or to the office as its so thin you can wear it under a cuff. The only complaint i have is the bracelet feels flimsy and cheap (because it is). I barely wear it nowadays aside from repurposing it as a dive watch when I go to the beach or the pool but it’s a piece I will never get rid of due to sentimental reasons.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/k4pd2pJzAP</p>

Description: <p>I know quite a lot about watches, I’ve been buying and selling (never to make money) maintaining a 5-watch collection for many years. I’ve had a lot of watches, and this is where I’ve landed.<br/><br/>The Sinn- Love at first sight when I first saw the black pearl 556. Hugely disappointed on wrist and in person. The indices shine, and the dial is a weird flat black 99.9% of the time. If you like mother of pearl dials and you like Sinn, go for the white one if you can find it, I’m going to pick that one up if I see it at a reasonable price (I paid 1200USD for mine). But anyway, yellow is a special colour to me and I love the 556 so here it is, no ghost date position on the crown (all other 556 watches have one except the von 400 limited series pictured here), also, 38mm and display back, antimag, workhorse movement, 200m water resistance, an absolute banger for value. Go get a 556 if you have the money. One watch to do it all, and I’m talking the regular 556i or 556A. The coloured ones carry a stupid markup being limited and blah blah.<br/><br/>The Hamilton-no date, green dial, orange accents, titanium, 38mm, display back, great brand, great movement, smooth push pull crown, incredible value, and that’s what I’m all about.<br/><br/>The Longines- this picture didn’t do this justice and for that I apologize. It’s all black, but with blue shiny stars over “chronometer” and a blue shiny Longines logo under “Longines”. The indices are applied, and incredibly executed. And has a seconds hand that has too many cool quirks and features to list. This is the Longines Spirit in 40mm for Bucherer, seems to be pretty rare, and while I have difficulty saying it’s my favourite watch I will say I wear it more than the others here. Incredible value for money, probably the best value in my collection considering the smoothness of the crown and finishing on this watch. Teddy Bulbasaur said it’s a better offering than Tudor Ranger as it’s equal in almost every aspect except the movement—but it’s much cheaper, and shit, looks way better in my opinion. Something to think about. And sorry, but this thing needs to be seen in person, lots of non-watch enthusiast people make comments on this one. “Cool watch” as they say.<br/><br/>The Omega- I sometimes need strong antimagnetic properties, and I used to want a Rolex Milgauss, but the price hike, the premium price for Rolex, and the fact that the master co-axial in my Railmaster denim (matrix blue super awesome grand seiko level dial, 15000 THOUSAND gauss) shits all over the Rolex in almost every way. Sorry, not sorry. I should also add that I get 3 other cool watches for still less than the price of the milgauss. Dial needs to be seen to be appreciated, and oddly enough, omega does a terrible job showing it even in their own catalogue.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/1640ix0/sotc_i_chose_4_watches_instead_of_one_rolex/?share_id=WvBpcHPm0UZc4hDQHYlhP&amp;utm_content=1&amp;utm_medium=android_app&amp;utm_name=androidcss&amp;utm_source=share&amp;utm_term=1</p>

Description: <p>This is my collection of watches after collecting over the last year.. except the Rolex. The OP Date was a HS graduating gift from my mom, which (the watch, not my mom) had been sitting in a lockbox for over a decade and a half. When I first got it, I thought it was far too nice for me to be wearing, especially as a reckless 18 year old kid. Two years later, I started training to become a pilot, and that became my daily watch for the next 4 years. Absolutely love all of my watches, but now I&#x27;m wondering what I should add to the collection in 2024</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/tfcyItMiUq</p><p> </p>

Description: <p>Any feedback on my collection? Also looking to add another watch that may have a unique or fun dial, in the price range of a Tsuyosa. Any recommendations welcomed. (The santos is green)</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/PrideAndPinion/s/f7ifsj4yCM</p>

Description: <p>It&#x27;s been a year since the start of my watch collecting journey and I have 3 pieces to show for it. Didn&#x27;t plan it out this way, but I ended up with a land, air, and sea trio! I tend to lean towards pieces that have a bit of history behind them.<br/><br/><br/>https://www.watchcrunch.com/dustparticles/posts/state-of-the-collection-2043-231585</p>
