New Speedmasters: Is 44,25mm to big for daily wear?

Bingo! I'm the guy who spent my entire life thinking that spending more than $50.00 on a watch was absolutely ridiculous. Then I succumbed to an (entry level) Seamaster about five weeks ago. A couple of weeks later I added a Speedmaster. Now I'm waiting on my new Seamaster chronograph to arrive. So much for my life-plan....

I pretty much did the opposite. I bought a bunch of watches to figure out which watch I wanted, and then, once I figured it out, I started selling everything else off.

I've always loved the idea of wearing one watch for everything.

I very much respect and admire the zen simplicity of the one watch guy approach, but right now I am still enjoying the phase of putting together a collection piece by piece. Each watch below has been carefully selected for a specific role and so far none have been flipped.

This might though just be the calm before the storm and perhaps a reflection that I have not reached a level of watch collection maturity where I really am able optimize and focus more on just a few...I do think I should be able to get down to three watches eventually...or perhaps six...OK eight is the limit.🙄

But...right now the next incoming the ST and perhaps later on the Orange/Black Speedy Racing is calling...found this picture on another forum, can't recall the guy's name, but love the casual/cool look of the Speedy Racing here:

I have to admit that both of these could be considered completely superfluous...but they do fill specific niches: ST - Hesalite Moonwatch, Speedy Racing - Racing inspired automatic chronograph with modern movement....and then Superdoc had to post this gorgeous picture of a new Grand Seiko GMT🥰.....

Arrgggghhh!!!!!!

Well, that's certainly a fantastic collection of watches. I guess, for me, I could wear most of them in all situations. Even that awesome Reverso could be considered an old-school sports watch, although I'd probably only wear it with a suit (which I rarely wear.)

I'm just a singular kind of guy. I prefer using one camera with one lens, one guitar, one car, etc...although all of them required trying and buying quite a few to narrow down what I wanted.

Either way, that new black and orange Speedy is a really, really great looking watch.
