Description: <p>Garmin Instinct 2s - My “beater” watch that I use for gym, sports, camping, and any other event that requires lots of physical activity.<br/><br/>Timex Weekender 38mm - My casual watch. I live on an island so shorts and flip-flops are the norm most of the time. Basically my GADA when my Zulu is too much.<br/><br/>Longines Zulu Spirit 39mm - This became my grail as soon as I tried it on in person. Absolutely beautiful. The 39mm on my 6.5in wrist is as perfect as it gets when it comes to fit, even with the notoriously long and straight case. My GADA and in some cases I’m sure I’ll strap it on as my dress watch.<br/><br/>Seiko Presage “Fuyugeshiki” - My very first expensive watch ($500). I bought this to serve as my dress watch but find myself reaching for it in casual wear. That was before I got my Zulu. My favorite element is the textured dial. Absolutely beautiful.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/168gt0a/sotc_4watch_collection/?share_id=iVe66WkT87IF5xt6srMeB&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1</p>

Description: <p class="font_8">My perfect 4 watch collection. I personally think that 4 is the perfect number for a watch collection. I started in 2020 when i was 19 years old collecting seiko 5s. Job after job, i always set aside some money for watches, they always fascinate me , in those 4 years i made a lot of mistakes and waste a lot of money buying watch i didnt wear or liked, but now even if my watches are nothing fancy i can say i'm that proud of my collection and i will never sell those 4 watches!</p>

Description: <p>about 1 year after the purchase of my first watch</p><p>I have a "main" box with my daily wears and I have a secondary box with stuff that I either don't wear anymore but I like, or stuff that jaut doesn't make sense to sell because it's not very valuable.</p><p>Haven't bought anything new in months. The gap between each purchase is growing. I ultimately feel like I definitely needed to get most of these to refine my taste and define my goals, feel the successes and regrets, but now I'm locked in. I won't be buying a single other watch until I can comfortably afford a Speedmaster Professional moonwatch, most likely followed by a Grand Seiko snowflake. I'm very satisfied with what I have and enjoying them daily 😀</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/17bk0sh/sotc_about_1_year_after_the_purchase_of_my_first/?share_id=qwPRGdXeI8JWTKkbkwGkz&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Description: <p>SOTC as a College Student. This is my current collection go ahead and roast me, please. What are your thoughts?</p><p>Alright let’s start with the elephant in the room.</p><p>Yes, I own an Apple Watch and no, I don’t really consider it part of my collection, but since it is a watch, it’s in here. I just use it for my workouts.</p><p>Suggess Seagull ST19 Chrono - I bought this watch about three years ago and I think I just like it. Also, if anybody recognises the similarities, I am not paying for a breitling top time. Just one just brings me joy every now and then.</p><p>Kuoe Kyoto Royal smith - I bought this watch on my trip to Japan recently and I really like it because it brings a new aspect to my collection. That vintage case shape and the small case size or something entirely new to me and I think I like it so far. And the fact that I can’t seem to find the black version on their website I really enjoy as well because I think you can only get it in the store in Kyoto So it is not that likely to see other people with that watch around.</p><p>Grand Seiko 4522-8000 - This is a manual wind early GS. I love the 45 Case shape. I bought this in Tokyo for a pretty good price I think. I used to find these watches pretty boring but when I saw it in person and now every time I wear it I am reminded that the simplicity of this watch is actually one of its strengths.</p><p>Seiko Baby alipinist - HOT TAKE: I actually like the baby alpinist way better than the actual alpinist. For the price range in Seikos lineup this has a Great movement and overall this watch is a spec monster. So far this is probably my favourite watch. I love the golden hands the mat texturised dial and the fact that this Watches is built like a tank. Cannot recommend it enough.</p><p>Traska Venturer GMT - I’ve been obsessed with GMT Watches when I bought this And I am very impressed with the quality of this watch at the price. But the best thing about this watch probably is the bracelet and the comfort. I’ve had this watch on other straps as well, but I always come back to the Bracelet. This is pretty special, I think since I’m not a big bracelet guy.</p><p>FUTURE PLANS:</p><p>Right now, I am eyeballing two different kinds of watches that I really want to add.</p><p>One of which is a quart or Mecca quartz chronograph. I am aware that my seagull watch will break at some point And I am not dealing with the cost of servicing a mechanical chronograph. I was thinking of the new mission to moon phase In completely white just to have a very fun summer peace Or alternatively The seiko speed timer. Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this.</p><p>Another Watch I want to add is a diver. Ever since I sold mine, I’ve been missing one and I really want one again. I really liked the oris diver 65. But when I went and looked at it in person in Tokyo, I didn’t like it as much as I thought. What I did like when I looked at it is the Tudor black bay 58. If you have other suggestions, let me know. As you can tell, I am willing to pay more for my diver. So this watch can be anywhere between let’s say 500-5000€. Btw I also really like baltics divers.</p><p>I hope you enjoyed my little write up. I don’t think the One picture I uploaded does all the Watches justice. So look at my profile for more.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.watchcrunch.com/simonswatch/posts/sotc-as-a-college-student-725480</p>
