Collector Description:

SOTC as a College Student. This is my current collection go ahead and roast me, please. What are your thoughts?

Alright let’s start with the elephant in the room.

Yes, I own an Apple Watch and no, I don’t really consider it part of my collection, but since it is a watch, it’s in here. I just use it for my workouts.

Suggess Seagull ST19 Chrono - I bought this watch about three years ago and I think I just like it. Also, if anybody recognises the similarities, I am not paying for a breitling top time. Just one just brings me joy every now and then.

Kuoe Kyoto Royal smith - I bought this watch on my trip to Japan recently and I really like it because it brings a new aspect to my collection. That vintage case shape and the small case size or something entirely new to me and I think I like it so far. And the fact that I can’t seem to find the black version on their website I really enjoy as well because I think you can only get it in the store in Kyoto So it is not that likely to see other people with that watch around.

Grand Seiko 4522-8000 - This is a manual wind early GS. I love the 45 Case shape. I bought this in Tokyo for a pretty good price I think. I used to find these watches pretty boring but when I saw it in person and now every time I wear it I am reminded that the simplicity of this watch is actually one of its strengths.

Seiko Baby alipinist - HOT TAKE: I actually like the baby alpinist way better than the actual alpinist. For the price range in Seikos lineup this has a Great movement and overall this watch is a spec monster. So far this is probably my favourite watch. I love the golden hands the mat texturised dial and the fact that this Watches is built like a tank. Cannot recommend it enough.

Traska Venturer GMT - I’ve been obsessed with GMT Watches when I bought this And I am very impressed with the quality of this watch at the price. But the best thing about this watch probably is the bracelet and the comfort. I’ve had this watch on other straps as well, but I always come back to the Bracelet. This is pretty special, I think since I’m not a big bracelet guy.

FUTURE PLANS:

Right now, I am eyeballing two different kinds of watches that I really want to add.

One of which is a quart or Mecca quartz chronograph. I am aware that my seagull watch will break at some point And I am not dealing with the cost of servicing a mechanical chronograph. I was thinking of the new mission to moon phase In completely white just to have a very fun summer peace Or alternatively The seiko speed timer. Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this.

Another Watch I want to add is a diver. Ever since I sold mine, I’ve been missing one and I really want one again. I really liked the oris diver 65. But when I went and looked at it in person in Tokyo, I didn’t like it as much as I thought. What I did like when I looked at it is the Tudor black bay 58. If you have other suggestions, let me know. As you can tell, I am willing to pay more for my diver. So this watch can be anywhere between let’s say 500-5000€. Btw I also really like baltics divers.

I hope you enjoyed my little write up. I don’t think the One picture I uploaded does all the Watches justice. So look at my profile for more.

Collector Description:

After 5 years of collecting... Hi everyone. After being bit by the watch bug 5 years ago, here is where my collection stands. I feel content with where I’m at and for the first time in a while, I don’t have the itch to trade, sell, or add anymore pieces. My rule was to never go over 6 watches and possess only 1 watch from the same brand. With these 6 watches I feel covered for every occasion. In the order of when they were acquired:

Tag Heuer Aquaracer (WBD1112.BA0928) - Quartz diver and the watch that started it all

Farer Mansfield Green Tea Dial - picked this up to celebrate a new job. I’m a big Eagles fan so love to wear this whenever I go to the games

Cartier Santos Medium - Picked this up to celebrate a promotion. My dress watch and currently wear this on a red alligator strap

G-Shock (GMAP2100-7A) - my beater/gym watch

Timex Marlin Chronograph - the watch I wear to the office and any other low-key occasions

Rolex GMT Master II (126710BLNR) - my grail watch that I was able to recently acquire at my AD

Collector Description:

Hi watch enthusiasts,

I recently sold and shrunk my collection to add more color and add some watches that are more "valuable". I personally think value drives from how you connect to a watch & not the price tag. I added some color to my collection because to me that's a way fun to collect.

Collector Description:

What are your thoughts on my 3 watch collection? What could I improve?

Seiko 5 - This is my inexpensive work/travel watch that I don’t have to worry about. I put a rubber band on it for a little extra durability.

Tissot PRX - I’m not sure if this classifies as a dress watch but I wanted something with a sleek design and nice metal bracelet for more formal events, also wanted it to stand out a bit so I opted for the blue dial.

IWC Pilot 3706 - My most expensive watch. Got this as more of a keepsake item, since it’s got a lot of history and a cool story behind it. Went with a nato band to give it a more military/vintage look, I dress it up with a nice black leather for occasions.

Collector Description:

Land, Air, Sea Blues.

First state of the collection post from a slight-of-wrist collector (6.25 in). Seiko SPB149 diver is the one closest to my heart. Wish I could have better captured the blue dial. I have been trying to find a leather strap for the alpinist but I always end up putting it back on the bracelet. Unlike the green alpinist, I find this one to be less versatile. This shade of blue makes it look more elegant than toolsy imo. The Spirit 37 is easily the most refined of the bunch. It has long lugs which give it a unique appearance on the wirst. Some have said that its long lugs make it wear larger but it definitely wears like a 37mm to me. What should I get next?

My birthday was 3 day ago and I am loving every moment of this collecting journey! I love independent watch brands. I like to collect watch that people tend to underestimate and forget about. Besides that, it is rich in history as well.

## **4 Watches - Omega (50%) / Longines (25%) / Tissot (25%)** ### **Collection Summary** **"Classic & Sport Fusion"** This collection blends **heritage-driven dress watches with professional-grade sports timepieces**, offering a **balanced mix of formal elegance and high-performance functionality**. The **Longines 1832 Moon Phase and Tissot Le Locle Open Heart** provide **classical Swiss refinement**, while the **Omega Moonwatch and Seamaster Diver 300M** bring **iconic tool-watch credibility and cutting-edge technology**. With **Omega comprising 50% of the collection**, the focus leans toward **prestigious Swiss craftsmanship and innovation**, especially in the realm of **chronometry and dive watches**. The collection **excels in Movement, Brand Prestige, and Complications**, with the **Omega Moonwatch and Seamaster leading in technical sophistication**. This collection is well-suited for a **versatile collector who appreciates both dress and sport watches**, allowing for **seamless transitions between professional, casual, and adventure settings**. --- ## **Overall Collection Rating: 8.4/10.0** ### **Movement Metric (9.2/10.0)** The **Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer** movements provide **exceptional accuracy and durability**, particularly with **METAS certification** in the Moonwatch and Seamaster. The **Longines L899 and Tissot Powermatic 80 Open Heart movements** offer **reliable Swiss performance**, though they do not match Omega's technical advancements. ### **Brand Metric (9.0/10.0)** Omega’s **heritage, prestige, and technological leadership** elevate the collection's brand score. Longines and Tissot provide strong Swiss branding, but they rank below Omega in **luxury positioning**. ### **Complications Metric (8.9/10.0)** This collection includes **a chronograph, moon phase, and open-heart display**, with the **Moonwatch featuring a legendary chronograph complication**. The **diverse mechanical features** enhance the collection’s technical appeal. ### **Dials & Design Metric (8.6/10.0)** The collection features **a mix of classical and sporty designs**, with highlights including the **Tissot Le Locle’s open-heart execution and the Omega Seamaster’s wave dial**. ### **Material Metric (8.5/10.0)** The Omega Seamaster’s **ceramic bezel and titanium components**, alongside the **sapphire crystals and premium stainless steel cases**, ensure **high durability and quality**. ### **Functions Metric (8.3/10.0)** With **300m water resistance on the Seamaster, a high-precision chronograph, and anti-magnetic protection in the Moonwatch**, this collection offers **functional versatility**, although the dress watches lack lume and robustness. ### **Versatility Metric (8.2/10.0)** The collection **spans multiple use cases**, covering **formal, casual, sport, and adventure categories**. The **Moonwatch and Seamaster provide rugged versatility**, while the **Longines and Tissot serve dressier occasions**. ### **History & Innovation Metric (8.0/10.0)** Omega's **pioneering advancements in anti-magnetic technology and chronometry**, along with **Longines’ rich history**, contribute to the strong historical relevance of the collection. ### **Rarity Metric (7.5/10.0)** While **all four watches are readily available**, the **Moonwatch’s legendary status and the Seamaster’s premium features** enhance the collection’s exclusivity. ### **Cohesiveness Metric (7.3/10.0)** This collection **balances dress and sport watches** effectively, but the **stylistic contrast between formal and tool watches** slightly reduces overall cohesiveness. --- ## **Collection Strengths** - **Exceptional movement quality** with **two Omega Master Chronometers**. - **Diverse complications** covering **moon phase, chronograph, and open-heart** designs. - **Balanced mix of dress and sport watches**, ensuring **versatile styling options**. - **High brand prestige**, led by **Omega’s horological dominance**. ## **Ideas for Improvement** 1. **Add a High-End Dress Watch** - **Why?** The current collection lacks a **truly high-end dress piece**, as the **Longines and Tissot are more entry-level luxury**. - **Recommendation:** **Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon** ($8,500) – A refined, high-horology alternative to strengthen the dress segment. 2. **Include a GMT for Travel Utility** - **Why?** A **GMT watch would enhance travel versatility** and **expand the complication variety**. - **Recommendation:** **Grand Seiko SBGM221 GMT** ($5,600) – A **classic dress GMT with high accuracy and finishing**. 3. **Introduce a Titanium or Precious Metal Option** - **Why?** This would **elevate the material quality**, adding **lightweight durability or luxury appeal**. - **Recommendation:** **Omega Seamaster 300 Titanium** ($6,500) – A **lightweight alternative to the Seamaster Diver 300M**. --- ## **Downsizing Advice** If reducing the collection, the **Tissot Le Locle Open Heart** would be the most **expendable**. While it adds **an entry-level Swiss dress watch**, it **overlaps with the Longines 1832 Moon Phase**, which is a **more refined dress option**. --- ## **Watch by Watch Summary** ### **1) Omega Moonwatch Professional Co-Axial Master Chronometer (9.1/10.0)** - $5,141 - **Brand (9.5), History & Innovation (9.5), Movement (9.3), Complications (9.0), Material (8.8), Dials & Design (8.7), Functions (8.6), Versatility (8.5), Rarity (7.9)** - **Iconic chronograph with METAS-certified movement, legendary Moonwatch heritage, and timeless design.** ### **2) Omega Seamaster Diver 300M (8.9/10.0)** - $4,033 - **Brand (9.5), Movement (9.2), Functions (9.0), Material (8.7), Complications (8.5), Dials & Design (8.5), Versatility (8.4), History & Innovation (8.3), Rarity (7.6)** - **Professional dive watch with ceramic bezel, helium escape valve, and Co-Axial METAS certification.** ### **3) Longines 1832 Moon Phase (8.2/10.0)** - $1,250 - **Dials & Design (8.8), Brand (8.5), Material (8.3), Movement (8.2), Complications (8.0), Functions (7.8), Versatility (7.5), History & Innovation (7.2), Rarity (6.8)** - **Elegant moon phase dress watch with refined finishing and Swiss automatic movement.** ### **4) Tissot Le Locle Open Heart (7.8/10.0)** - $800 - **Brand (7.5), Dials & Design (8.0), Material (7.5), Movement (7.4), Complications (7.2), Versatility (7.0), Functions (6.8), History & Innovation (6.5), Rarity (6.3)** - **Entry-level Swiss automatic with an open-heart dial and traditional dress aesthetics.** --- ### **A.I.

Collector Description:

I consolidated a larger collection into these 4 this year. I am extremely pleased with this collection as it stands. I feel like each watch gets sufficient wrist time. I also feel like each watch is distinct and has a unique design language. The Explorer and Pelagos FXD get the most wrist time, but I enjoy the Junghans and G-Shock a lot too. I had been pining after the Rolex for some time and it has not disappointed. It’s especially comfortable with the after market Steel Reef on the fly extension link I purchased. Love the FXD on a parachute style strap (the one pictured is from The Watch Steward). Is anyone else enjoying a smaller collection having come from a larger one?
