Collector Description
Finally completed my collection and hoping for opinions.
My watch collection is finally complete (for now) and would love to get opinions. My interest in watches started with watching restoration videos and grew fascinated with the movements and build. It took a cancer diagnosis (all cut out and sorted) to encourage me to actually invest in quality watches I love that have a meaning to me.
Oris Pro pilot x Kermit - Fell in love with this on first sight and is the watch I closely associate to my diagnosis and recovery. Was bought alongside a Seiko and a Tissot but they have both been sold/gifted.
Sinn 556a RS - Really wanted a German brand watch to remind me of my time living in Germany with the Armed Forces. Originally bought a 556i Mother of Pearl but felt it was too formal for my style. This is the watch I wear most of the time outside of work.
Boldr Field Medic 1 - My work watch. Not a medic but the functions are perfect for any combat role where BLS is a huge focus. On a NATO strap with my regimental colours.
Bremont Broadsword - A British brand with a HMAF collection. Perfect watch to remember my time within the Army.
Christopher Ward C60 Atoll 300 - I am a keen scuba diver so needed to have a diving watch. Wanted to keep it relatively affordable to be more comfortable with taking abroad.
Rolex Explorer 39mm mk.2 - My most recent addition. Rolex, to me, is the epitome of luxury watch making and history. Only justified due to an insurance pay out from my diagnosis. Currently on a Weltmann strap for a formal occasion. The most versatile Rolex in my opinion.
Thank you for taking the time to read through my collection and what they mean to me.
