Collector Description

Left to right:

Pepsi: Managed to pick up a Pepsi after over half a year. Been wanting one for a while and glad I got it before Watches and Wonders-- although the discontinuation rumor has been going around for ages, it would suck if it actually came true before I managed to get one. Love it so far. I chose Oyster bracelet over Jubilee because (prepare to crucify me) the Jubilee gives me trypophobia and I think it looks bad on anything without a fluted bezel.

JLC Master Control Calendar (Blue): My first mechanical watch and sort of an impulse buy. I had my eye on a normal MCC but when the limited run of 800 blue ones came out I knew I preferred that one instead. I had zero hopes of finding one until I saw it in the boutique and picked it up on the spot. Paid for the overpriced bracelet too, although I switch with the leather frequently to dress it up.

Pelagos 39: Durable watch. I usually wear it on the silicone which makes it very comfortable. The lightness and durability make a great daily.

CW Bel Canto (Green): Something a bit quirky. Managed to snag one of 300 in my preferred color for the Bel Canto. The green dial is actually very dynamic and changes from bright teal to clover green depending on the angle at which you look at it. I regret getting the titanium bracelet as it scratches very easily, and the green strap would have been great to accentuate the dial. May pick up the strap in the future. Love the chime.
