Collector Description
Over the years, I’ve gradually started losing interest in collecting watches. I was 18 when I purchased my first Rolex. It was a used Explorer, and I knew absolutely nothing about watches. The excitement I received from owning the watch came from flexing. Before then, I never even cared about wearing a watch.
A year later, I came across this subreddit and found another reason to purchase watches. After exposure to all the different brands (and maturing), I slowly became more of an enthusiast and less materialistic. I started buying watches I subjectively thought looked good. But over the years, as I kept obtaining more and more watches, I received less excitement from wearing a watch.
So, I stopped wearing watches altogether for a year, and I’ve slowly started consolidating my collection by selling and gifting the watches I owned. As of today, I’m left with these four watches:
Cartier Tank (Gift from one of my exes.)
Hublot Classic Fusion (I get the hate, but I personally like how it looks and feels.)
AP ROO (My grail watch.)
Harry Potter digital watch (Gift from one of my exes. I’m a Harry Potter fan.)
I’m a sentimental person, so I’ll be keeping the Tank and the HP watch. The Hublot is my everyday watch at the moment, but I’m looking to replace it with a Ressence. As for the AP, I’m contemplating trading it for a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. I think if I were to add a fifth watch to the collection, it’d be another dress watch: A. Lange & Söhne or Breguet.

A.I. Collection Summary:
This disparate four-watch collection blends timeless elegance from the Cartier Tank Must XL, modern titanium sportiness in the Hublot Classic Fusion, robust luxury diving prowess from the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver 42mm, and a playful low-end LCD novelty with the Harry Potter Flashing Gryffindor-themed piece, resulting in low cohesion but broad appeal for a collector mixing high fashion, tool watches, and fan memorabilia powered mostly by reliable quartz and automatic movements with power reserves from 42 to 80 hours where applicable.
