Fell in love with watches over a decade ago. In the last two years I finally took the plunge. I started with the Omega Speedmaster. Great watch, great look, great history. Next I snagged the BB58 after coming across it in McLean, VA after it being sold out for a bit. Finally this year I purchased the Cartier De Santos. I’ve loved this watch for the last 8 years and decided it was time.

Looking for suggestions on the next piece. Considering going with IWC for a Portugieser Chronograph or maybe something in the Glashütte Original family. I’ve also been eyeing the explorer II for a while so that’s in the mix. Thoughts?

Just started collecting not too long ago. Any suggestions for next watch?

Just thought l'd show some of my current holdings.

First of all easy on the Hublots, they're just placeholders until I can afford Royal Oak Offshores lol. Love the presence of larger watches and the complexity of skeletonized dials.

For Rolex I went with a classic Datejust 41 white dial. This goes great with most of my suits. A batgirl as the attention grabbing hype piece.

I’ve always loved IWC as an enthusiasts brand. Their pilot chronograph designs are so timeless without trying hard at all.

For the Omega I went with a 18k Sedna Rose Gold Constellation. Constellations aren’t very known or liked but I love that about them. As subdued as the watch appears it’s always surprising how much attention and compliments it garners.

A shot of my lot.

I’ve always aimed to have a pretty diverse collection of watches. A watch I could wear for each seperate occasion. For example, a watch I could wear with a tuxedo (the JLC), a watch I could wear with a rugged jacket (the Panerai), a watch I could wear with a suit (the IWC) etc.

I think I’ve managed to be fairly successful in that search but there’s still more to go.

My want-list seems to change as time goes by but I’ll always have a select few that I’ll aim toward.

Collecting watches, to me, is such a wonderful hobby. I’ve always had a love for “things” and I think the ability to not only own something as beautiful as a watch but also wear it wherever you go, creates the perfect combination for a great interest.

I’ve made friends through watches. I’ll always comment on a watch I see in public and strike up a conversation. I’ve had great chats while waiting for a coffee or buying a shirt in a store due to watches.

But the most fun of all, I think, comes from the hunt. Wanting a watch, sometimes for years, is the best part. Looking at photos. Trying it on in a store. Reading about it. Watching videos. Talking about it. These are great moments and when you finally get that piece you’ve been wanting for so long... ahh what a great moment.

Cheers to all the watch guys out there :)

Pretty content with the SOTC after 13 years of collecting.

Hamilton Khaki Field Auto - A gift from my wife about 10 years ago (then-girlfriend) when we were fresh out of grad school. The quintessential field watch in my opinion.

Rolex Explorer 214270 mk 1 - My most sentimental watch. It has been on wrist for the important events in my life. A GADA watch.

Seiko SKX013 - My most recent pick up. Outdoor activity watch. Fits my smaller wrist perfectly.

Zodiac Super Seawolf GMT - My summer watch. I have fun rotating the strap colors (blues and greys mostly) and materials (rubber and different leathers) on this one.

Patek Aquanaut - My most worn at the moment. Love the design and elegant clasp. Another GADA watch.

Rolex Day-Date - Inherited this watch. Love the Roman numerals and the sportier oyster bracelet. Special occasion watch.

I miss having a dress watch so may look to add one next. Probably a JLC or maybe a Vacheron. I’m also a big fan of Nomos.

Gone but not forgotten: Vacheron Overseas 4500v Patek 5196g Omega Speedy Pro (with 3861 movement) Seiko Alpinist Seiko SKX009 Seiko Turtle SRPB01K1 Casio F91W-1

Rate the watch box.

Missing a few but this is what I keep in the winder (wolf of course), looking for a root beer, sub, titanium yacht master, and meteorite Pepsi gmt. Anyone interested in the two tone sea dweller?Im Looking to get something smaller.

I started my watch collection 3 years ago. Since then my interest in Rolex increased a lot. At first I couldn’t understand why people focus so much on this brand but now I know. The next piece I want is the Pepsi. After that I will begin my Patek journey. The 6119 will be my first pick

Been a watch nerd for years, 3 years ago decided to ditch my apple watch (get a Garmin Instinct for fitness) and restart my watch collection. Quite content with it.

Digital/Beater: Casio G Shock Solar Atomic Square GW-M5610U-1BJF Since every collection needs a G Shock! Love the negative display and how this watch goes with any attire for my everyday wear. Also appreciate its atomic accuracy and unlimited solar powered battery! Left the connected watch era with this one, wanted to have less distractions

Formal/Dress: Seiko Men's Watch SRPH85K1 Love wearing this to office with formals and suits. Got this due to its good looking dial and transparent case back.

Complication/Chronograph: Tissot V8 Quartz Chronograph T Sport T106.417.11.031.00 Mostly used for daytime wear or whenever I need a chronograph.

Sport/Diver/Everyday/Casual: Orient Men's 'Mako II' FAA02001B9 Love the mechanics of this one and its inspiration from the Rolex Submariner. Mostly used on weekends or vacations when I don’t have to care about accuracy.

Tag Heuer ‘Formula 1' WAZ1112.BA0875 A fan of Formula 1 in general. Love the overall craftsmanship of the piece. Mostly used for nightout wear.

Omega Seamaster 300 2265.80.00 Love the heritage of Omega, originally commissioned by the Royal British Navy for Maritime usage during World War 2. Also in fiction, in Her Majesty’s Secret Service since 1993 for the MI6 Agent 007. Mostly used for special occasions.

I've gotten to a point where all my conceivable needs are covered and I'm not really thinking about buying anything else. What is my collection missing? I'd like to add something green, maybe a DJ... but not really too keen on anything in particular at the moment. My style thus far tends to functionality and is maybe a bit orthodox, so something a little weird could be interesting.

Most recent is the Pelagos FXD M.N. - a great weekend tool watch for swimming, hikes, diving, adventures... it will get banged up, and that's fine. I was between this and a seamaster in green and ultimately glad I made this choice, I really like the easy strap changes and light titanium construction. 200m is absolutely more than enough for any recreational diver so anything else is overkill.

Speedy - I work in a business casual environment most days, and it's perfect. Very comfortable and chrono is useful. First truly nice watch I bought and I absolutely love it. It's the hesalite version, but I put a spiralwinder sapphire caseback on to see the 3861. I had been planning to get a leather strap for it but the bracelet on this generation is ridiculously comfortable so there it has stayed.

JLC Geographic - Picked this up to mark a career change. I'm now in a position that has me moving around to different countries frequently, so this complication is ideal. I can track home time or other time zones extremely easily; great legibility and incredibly useful watch. Plus it's gorgeous. Works great with a suit or business casual.

Omega Seamaster 600 ~1963 - I got this for college graduation. It's tiny, so I use it as a dress watch for black tie events. It's not in the best condition but I love the wear and tear and patina. Keeps fantastic time as well.

Seiko SKX007 - This was my weekend beater until I got the Pelagos. It served me well for many years but probably won't get much wrist time at this point. Probably for sale.

Hamilton Khaki King - my first nice watch. At this point, it's for wearing in places where theft is a risk.

Nearing the end of my watch journey, pretty happy with the size of my collection!

8 years into this watch journey, I find myself nearing an end as I just absolutely love every pick that I have made with this (relatively) small collection.

Breguet 5277 Rose Gold: Beautiful Guilloche dial, 96 hours of power reserve, and beautiful finishing of the movement with all of those beveled edges/anglage.

Oris ProPilot X: Hands down the best bracelet in the game (plus Titanium is so cool!) The lift clasp never gets old, and that 120 hour power reserve from the caliber 400 is pretty sweet as well

Nomos Club Sport Petrol Dial: Nomos is the best value in watchmaking... that sunburst is amazing, and the finishing on the DUW movement is fantastic.

Longines Zulu Time: Probably the best true GMT on the market, the applied Arabic numerals and case finishing rivals those watches that cost 2-3x

Tudor Black Bay 41 Heritage: I absolutely love the gilt hands/index and snowflake hands... definitely cures my itch for a sub!

Not sure if I am adding anything anytime soon, but if I do, those Glashutte Original Panomatics are something else!!

Hi all.
Thought I'd share my current collection. It got reduced from 9 watches I had last year and feel happy with number so far.

I had my dads seiko 5 when I was at school and from that point I was into watches. My first purchase of a watch was a fashion watch. I know, I learned my lesson. But afterwards I started doing a research and learn more about them. I bought skx007 and it was a real watch for me. I wore it for about 5 years and started buying other watches. After sometime I ended up with 9 watches and my beloved skx stopped getting a wrist time. I know people in this community say never sell your first watch and skx was a true first watch for me. But it felt a bit bad for it staying in my drawer all the time. I thought someone else would enjoy and appreciate it more than I am doing. Then I started reducing my collection to the point where I started to feel comfortable with the number of watches I have. It took me a while to bring the collection to balance but I think I finally got it. Enough watches to wear them regularly, no watch is left without a wrist time and enough watches to have it diverse.what you guys think?
