Description: <p class="font_8">Just got back from a two-week long vacation to Japan and went a bit overboard with my watch purchases. I knew going into the trip that I'd be picking up at least a couple pieces but I did not expect to come home with eight new pieces!</p>
<p class="font_8">For those enthusiasts planning a Japan trip, BIC camera is definitely appropriately praised (I had the best luck in Ginza where I found the gorgeous Orient Star duo). Kyoto's Kuoe was also a pleasant surprise. I visited initially planning to just see what it's about but was blown away by the bronze old smith and was sold with the store-only blue dial iteration. Knot got me in a similar manner with both the Salmon Dial Tonneau and Yokohama LE Square pieces being boutique only (and quite hard to find at that).</p>
<p class="font_8">The absolute pinnacle of my visit however, was none other than the infamous Nakano Broadway which definitely lived up to the hype. I got a bit carried away here spending half a day just walking the countless used watch stores. I ended up picking up the coveted SBGP007, a Mondaine Stop2Go (super random find), and a solid gold 18K Baume &amp; Mercier on a handmade Japanese Alligator strap.</p>
<p class="font_8">Overall, I'm very happy with this haul. I'll likely need to sell a couple of these as, in retrospect, I purchased too many pieces early in the trip out of excitement. A few of these however are absolute keepers. The Kuoe and Knot pieces are all engraved and the GS is one I've wanted for some time now. I think I'll be taking it easy on collecting for a while!</p>

Description: <p>Been collecting for 3-4 years, slowly trying to find my tastes for watches. Pretty happy with where the collection is at now, especially since a few of these were milestone purchases and everything but the CW was second-hand. Got my eyes on a couple more way down the aspirational road (Fears Brunswick, SBGM221, AnOrdain), though I’m going to pump the breaks for a while on new watches. Have never really gotten into submariner-adjacent watches, but always happy to hear recs. For reference, my wrist is 7.5”<br/><br/>Autodromo Group B<br/><br/>Oris Big Crown ProPilot<br/><br/>Longines Mystery Dial (mid 50’s?)<br/><br/>Farer Durham with salmon dial<br/><br/>Sinn 566rs<br/><br/>Zelos bronze Swordfish (the dial on this thing is bonkers)<br/><br/>Lorier Hyperion<br/><br/>Christopher Ward C3 Grand Tourer (quartz)<br/><br/>As for straps: the riveted pilot, denim leather, and grey saffiano are all from Strapify.

Description: <p>SOTC Here&#x27;s what I wear most.</p><p> </p><p>Here&#x27;s an abridged version of my collection. Lemme know what yall think. Before y&#x27;all come at me about the Moonswatch... Ik but it&#x27;s fun.</p><p> </p><p>This is a collection I&#x27;ve been building for a few years. Since I just graduated from college and I plan on getting a nice time to celebrate that milestone once I get a job. Some of my collection is controversial, but I like them a lot. I got what I could... The Bulova was a gift from my girlfriend and the Moonswatch was a Christmas gift. I know it has some controversy but I think it&#x27;s a fun watch. I really enjoy the Heritor and wore it during my graduation. Conveniently it&#x27;s Hokie colored. Let me know what you guys think about my collection. I hope I made the work count for the bot lol.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/Cb2NqRPKmv</p>

Description: <p>Here’s a snapshot of my collection after getting into watches 3 years ago. I tend to favor smaller watch sizes - sub 40mm. But still have a couple of bigger (G Shock &amp; Seiko SRPD Mod) ones as well. Got into modding a little bit just for fun. My daily wearers are the bottom row but I’ll switch it up depending on how I’m feeling day to day. Having access to different straps/bracelets is the key for me. Hope you enjoy!</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/BBfRsHHsZ1</p>
