Description: <p>This is my current 3 watch rotation. Can you tell I have a thing for Chronos....The Microbrand Depancel is new, and I just love the blue and orange color, so it has that new car smell and has been dominating my 3 watch rotation. LOL The IWC has always been my favorite and always finds a place in any rotation. And the Tudor, has been growing on me, when I got it, I was so-so and was thinking I should have got the white dial chrono. Not anymore, that black has won me over and is a current favorite. </p><p> </p><p>Buy what you like and pay no attention to what you think others will say. There is a style in every budget that suits everyone!</p><p> </p><p>https://www.watchuseek.com/posts/57706249/</p>

Description: <p>Yesterday was the day: I picked up my grail. The SBGA211.<br/>The watch itself needs no introduction or explanation. Y'all know it and I wanted it. Badly. So the other day I drove 3h (one way) to pick it up personally. And what a ride it was.<br/>Now I hold it in my hands and I can (safely) say that I'm at a point in my "collectors" journey where I consider my collection as "final", hence SOT(F)C.<br/>Here's the mini-collection:<br/><br/>Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 – Green Dial<br/>This watch is my true entry-point into the game of watches. The Quartz was my first "real" watch after wearing an Apple watch for a year and what an Odyssey it was. I had so many iterations of the PRX, including the Chrono, and so many issues with nearly all of them that now, with the one piece that's not plagued with issues that I just keep it for the sake of it. And this is the only watch that I can and will wear on the (original) Rubber Straps.</p><p> </p><p>Grand Seiko SBGN003<br/>This one was my first "luxury" watch that I bought after selling off all my other watches that I had at that time (including the massive PRX Chrono). This GS also was the start of my hunt for a reasonably priced SBGA211, after I devoured everything I could find about GS. The Snowflake, even though it may be the most prominent one, spoke to me on so many levels. Which led to the following...</p><p> </p><p>Grand Seiko SBGA211<br/>Here it is: My "final" piece. I just love it. For in-depth reviews check out any video on YouTube. I just wanna enjoy it a little while longer...</p><p> </p><p>SOT(F)C - And this is it: The humble "collection" I call my own since the 7th of October. (Not pictured is my G-Shock GA2100 Metal Utility Series)</p><p> </p><p>https://www.watchcrunch.com/red.john/posts/nwa-and-sot-f-c-223631</p>

Description: <p>The 3 keepers in my collection: Tudor Pelagos 39, Sinn 556 MOP, and Omega Aqua Terra 38.<br/>Figuring out through trial and error what I do and don’t like, and these 3 just work perfectly for me. I have a Black Bay 54 and Smiths Everest in gilt, and I rarely wear them both because of the gilt alone. I’m more of a modern watch guy I think.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/16u0ydt/sotc_the_3_keepers/?share_id=locZs5REG1mV2SNfNIXRX&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1</p><p> </p>

Description: <p>My ultimate three watch collection<br/>Two years since my last one of these, and a lot has changed. Finally at a place I am happy with collection wise, and now will wait a few years until my next accomplishment to dip back into the collecting game.</p><p>Omega Speedmaster 3520.53- My birth year watch, and the most complicated watch I have by far. Has every complication I want, beautiful colors, and with the Valjoux 7751 based movement will tick on forever. Never ever getting rid of this.</p><p>Grand Seiko SBGE271- A gift from my lovely partner, and an amazing watch all around. I love that you can’t really see the dial properly for what it is unless the sunlight hits it just right. It has a black/anthracite version of the Shunbun dial, and the golden GMT accents are great. Made to commemorate autumn nights, which is my favorite time of the year. She blow my mind with this gift.</p><p>Tudor Pelagos LHD- my newest addition and the one I have been wearing the most. The ultimate tool watch, and I feel like I’m an adventurer with it on. Only been on one dive so far with it, but as soon as I get some proper leave from work it plan on really testing it out. This watch inspires me to keep myself close to the ocean where I belong.</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/16kjyew/sotc_my_ultimate_three_watch_collection/?share_id=N8FvQcH77IGQaRETKPPNu&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1</p>

Description: <p>Feeling like I'm gonna sit on this set for a bit. Loving the attention to detail, design, and nuances that differentiate these 3.<br/><br/>Loving the latest jlc squadra addition, including the jlc crew helping me to geek out on the significance of the 975 cal movement, as well as the abuse aimed at my strap choice 😆<br/><br/>Got all my use cases covered ✅️<br/><br/>Can't justify price of things I like better.<br/><br/>Can't justify more than 3 watches (already probably too indulgent).</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/vnpR5Pfxk9</p>

Description: <p>My trio one year after entering this rabbit hole.<br/><br/>IWC Spitfire Automatic: I was looking for a GADA watch that would scratch my field watch itch. It's incredibly legible, I like the 39mm sizimg, and everything about the dial is simple, but done perfectly. This gets the most wear.<br/><br/>Tudor Pelagos 39: My most recent pick up. I wanted a dive watch and had my eye on this for a while. I like the all brushed tool watch look. The sizing and proportions are excellent and the titanium is light and dissapears on the wrist. I think this will split wear with the Spitfire.<br/><br/>Longines Conquest 38mm Green Dial: My wife bought me this watch for our wedding so it has a lot of sentimental value. Its dial is gorgeous and dresses up well with leather. Due to the amount of polished surfaces, this is my "nice occasion" watch.<br/><br/>How I got here: I got engaged a year and a half ago and wanted to get a nice watch for the wedding, then fell hard down the automatic/luxury watch rabbit hole. The first watch I bought was an Omega Railmaster - its a great watch and has an amazing movement, but I couldnt fall in love with it. The dial isnt very legible, especially in direct sunlight, and the porportions were a little off for me. I still have it but planning on selling, so I didnt include it. I bought a couple other mid-range watches that also didnt do much for me, so im planning on selling them too.<br/><br/>After about a year, I'm happy with the current three watch collection and will be content for a while.<br/><br/>TL;DR: wasted a bunch of money in my first foray into watches, but landed on this two tool watches and one fancier watch collection. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/KE6M21G9R2</p>

Description: <p>I am heading to Sonoma with my wife this weekend. We are celebrating 11 years of marriage and two years of what is my “crani-versary.” That is the two year anniversary of my successful surgery for removal of a nasty brain tumor. It’s a super special time because my surgery is just one day before our anniversary. So, it’s a double celebration. Then on Monday, my wife heads home and I’m in San Jose for my national sales meeting. As we always say, I will be wearing these in good health. How’d I do?!</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/8u4oZMIkrO</p>
