Description: <p>My collection after 4 years, always aimed to keep some variety in style/colour.</p><p> </p><p>Hi all, wanted to share my (relatively) modest collection that I've built up over the past 4 years. Let me know which is your favourite!<br/><br/>Starting from top-left:<br/><br/>Farer Stanhope II - When I was first dipping my toe into watches I loved the look of the original Stanhope from Farer but was a little hesitant about the price tag. A few years later after I'd added a few more affordable watches to the collection, I saw the Stanhope II announcement and absolutely had to get in on it. I love the slightly retro styling and the clean design.<br/><br/>Oris Aquis 39.5mm (Ref. 01 733 7732 4157-07 8 21 05PEB) - This was a birthday present from my family and would be tied for most worn with the Hamilton. Love the green dial and the metal bracelet is so well made - it's super comfortable, well finished and I love the taper.<br/><br/>Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical (Ref. H69439931) - A classic casual mechanical watch, I love the thin dimensions and the long power reserve. Only gripe is the long-ish lugs but I love how it wears overall and it's my go-to daily watch.<br/><br/>Meistersinger Neo Date (Ref. NE911D) - I fell in love as soon as I saw a photo of this from a local watch store during the pandemic, but took about a year for me to actually get it. Doesn't get loads of wear given the colour doesn't suit everything but I love wearing it as a dressier watch that's a bit unique.<br/><br/>Seiko Panda Chronograph (Ref. 7T32-7C60) - The earliest acquisition of this collection, I saw this and it immediately gave me "Baby Daytona" vibes. I love the slightly retro look to it and it's my go-to whenever I wear black.<br/><br/>Seiko Presage "Fuyugeshiki" (Ref. SRPC97J1) - I adore the dial of this watch and it's extremely well made for the price tag, but I bought it before I had got a bead on what dimensions worked for my wrist best and unfortunately it's a bit bulky for my tastes. Still love looking at it but planning to sell this one and get a slightly smaller dress watch (open to suggestions!)<br/><br/>In terms of wrist time, it would go Hamilton > Oris > Farer > Seiko Panda > Meistersinger > Seiko Presage</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/a9WgjSU0rx</p>

<p class="font_8">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.</p>
<p class="font_8">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.</p>
<p class="font_8">Let me know what you think, or what you would add.</p>

Description: <p>Today marks the day I have officially downsized my collection. Well not officially as the ones I won’t be keeping are still due to sell but have been listed and won’t be apart of my collection no more. Having loads of watches is fun until it isn’t, well that was the case for me. I would always find myself wearing a specific style of watches I enjoyed the most so the others were kind of just there for show, no real connection.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Seiko/s/YhCaQ7FDgr</p>

Description: <p>I just recently caught the watch-collecting bug and have been exploring it slowly. I've had a g-shock for many years that has been really good to me, but I didn't daily wear it. It started when I bought the Draplin x Timex collab. I was on the Draplin website looking at his stuff. I think he's a really interesting guy and ended up buying his Timex watch for a hundred bucks. It seemed as cool as any watch at the time.<br/><br/>I made the mistake of looking up info about the watch on YouTube, and BAM! all of a sudden, my feed was full of Russians, Brits, and Irishmen, showing me all sorts of things I never knew I needed.<br/><br/>After doing a little homework, I decided on the Hamilyon Khaki field would be a good first mechanical watch. I didn't want to spend too much, what if I got bored next week, and didn't like watches anymore? Also, I'm originally from Philly and spent my youth riding the Hamilton Trains. There was a heritage and a local connection there. I also wanted to experience of winding a watch every day. I really like the watch. I think it's so cool. I love it.<br/><br/>Ready to move up a little and wanting to do a little travel, I scored a Christopher Ward Sealander 63 GMT. I think the GMT function is fascinating. I would have liked a 'real' GMT instead of an 'office,' but at this price point, these only seemed to be available from the swatch group (Mido was in the running). I already had a swatch group watch, and I wanted to support an independent microbrand. I think it was the hand-distressed green dial that really sold it. Mr. Wonderful says it's all about the dial. I like it pretty well, but not as much as the Hamilton. I don't think the power reserve is as robust as advertised. And I'm never really more than 3 hours difference from home, and it's easier to do that in my head than to read the dial.<br/><br/>Then, I decided that I wanted a solid diver's watch. I have the submariner archetype in my head and really wanted that vibe, but I'm in no mood to spend submariner money. The Tudor Black Bay 58 seemed like the right move. I've only had it for a few days. There weren't really any other watches in the running was my first pre-owned watch. I got it from eBay; it had authentication, which made me feel safe. It has the box and papers. The documents are in Japanese (i think). I do really think the BB 925 is awesome, and it felt really, really good on my wrist, but too quirky for my first dive watch/'really nice watch.' I'm happy with it. I think it's really nice looking. Anything bigger than 39mm would probably be too big. I caught a glimpse of the lume today and was spellbound.<br/><br/>I don't know what's next. I'm in no hurry. Looking back, doing this much watch shopping in 18 months was a bit impulsive. I'm sure I can take a break. If you made it this far, thank you.</p>
