Collector Description
I wanted to share my 4 watch collection after recently purchasing the Seiko Dolce 6020-5930 as my dress watch. I’ve always liked the idea of having a smaller collection and I think, after many watches entering and leaving the collection, I’ve finally reached a small collection I’m happy with. I’ve been trying to be strict about my “one-in-one out” policy for my collection (which is so difficult 😅) to keep my collection reasonable.
Overall, I think it’s nicely balanced; the Seiko Dolce as my Dress watch, the Certina DS Action and Hamilton Khaki Field as my sports watches, and the Casio World Time AE1200 as my beater. Now IDEALLY I’d like to only have one sports watch, but I like them both too much to give one up.
I’d like to enjoy these watches for a while before switching it up again. However, I’ve already got my eye on the Citizen Fujitsubo Titanium to potentially replace my Certina…
