Collector Description
This is my current collection! The Tudor, anordain, GS, and Hamilton are all tied to wonderful memories or experiences. The seamaster is just a joy to wear and so versatile, and the seiko is my typical travel watch. For some time I’ve been thinking about adding a chronograph, but I’m very undecided on which one. I’m a “milestone” kind of watch guy, so I probably won’t purchase for another two years or so, but wanted to see what sorts of chronos the community has enjoyed. I have small-ish wrists at 6.6 inches, so I know this limits my options a bit. In the past I have admired many Breitlings, zenith’s, and a few Sinn’s, but am open to any suggestions!
