3 - Omega / Grand Seiko / Tudor - 202412062156
Collector Description

Everyday, Dress, Sport. 5 years, starting with Citizen, then Dan Henry, and then entry into the swiss world with Tissot.

I have scored a mint condition Omega Speedmaster Reduced in 2022. I am cursed (or blessed) with a 6.25" wrist, so the watch market is tricky to navigate. This watch was made for me.

Bought the Tudor Black Bay 54 in 2023, something that goes for sporty events or summer. Immediately swapped the metal bracelet for a NATO strap, and to a Vanguard rubber a few weeks ago.

Can't leave 2024 without a watch purchase, so crowned it all with a Grand Seiko SBGY013 "White Omiwatari". For those once a year occasions when I have to dress up in a suit. Not sure if it's possible to outdo a Spring Drive.
