Collector Description
Here is my collection (before you say it, I only have 4 watch slots as I’m always wearing one so no need for 5! Haha)
I’m after recommendations for my collection as I feel like I’m missing something. Let me provide some background to the collection:
Tudor Black Bay Pro - My first luxury watch purchase, have kind of fallen out of love with it. But, it’s my daily & my everywhere watch especially overseas due to the GMT function. Have considered getting a rubberized strap for it.
Rolex Air King - Vintage from 1999, 34mm. Sits fairly small on the wrist, but I only have 7/7.5inch wrists so it’s not horrendous. Again, daily wearer. Only issue is that due to the age, I wouldn’t submerge it. Possibly also on the chopping block to go.
Rolex Submariner - This is pretty much unworn, owned since 2019. Last year before the new release so picture this as more of an investment, I guess.
Omega Moonswatch - Purchased in Singapore w/ my Dad during a visit for the F1. Has sentimental value, won’t sell. Also upgraded strap.
Cartier Santos - I love this watch, never wear it on the leather. Only the metal. I scratched it the day I bought it against a wall, which adds to the story & charm (or so I keep telling myself). Won’t ever sell, very versatile, can be dressy or sporty.
I’m on the waitlist for a Datejust 36mm White Dial on a Jubilee plus a Black on Black Daytona / but still considering other options? I don’t like spending tons, after some reasonable recommendations.
