Collector Description
Here is my current three watch collection. I’ve been on a bit of a journey this year, selling and trading on many watches to get down to this focused set of three. I love them each but would love to hear any suggestions. I’ve thought about “upgrading” the Baltic to a BB58, but I actually like how the Baltic wears better. I prefer the bracelet on the Baltic and can’t justify the price increase.
