First two were “pre-OF” (we’ll pretend the Invicta submariner clone that’s in a junk drawer somewhere never happened). The Seiko was great, wore it on military deployment in Afghanistan, didn’t keep great time after that but I just got a demagnetizer and now it’s actually not bad. Good swimming pool/outdoor activity watch. The Oak and Oscar is a microbrand that I liked the style. Had to be serviced under warranty, came back running significantly fast but also seems much better after demagnetizing. The birth year speedy 145.022-78 and and the (J)LC Memovox are both OF acquisitions. Omega alligator band and deployant on the speedy, Hirsch alligator on the Memovox. I guess I’m ramping up in the “dressy” levels of watches.
Having been horribly bitten by the watch bug I think I’ll focus on the Omega/JLC side of things. Would love to get my hands on a Reverso, ideally the tribute to 1931 to cap out the high end of formality (in my eyes, I know that’s subjective). Seamaster PO in one of the orange flavors would be a great daily wear for me as well and I’ve loved the DSOTM since it was introduced...
That being said I’m recently intrigued by moonphase triples. I think I’ll have a hard time justifying the cost of JLC ultra thin perpetual anytime soon, but the UG TriCompax is looking pretty amazing.
Sorry, long rambling post, just nice to have a community of like-minded nut jobs to feed an obsession.
