I love mechanical objects and see them as art forms. My love affair with watches is currently 33 years old. For me it started in college with a Seiko chronograph that I was able to purchase while working through school. At that time, it didn't require a second or third mortgage to go to college. A few years later I got hooked by a TAG, then a TAG chronograph. At that point, I sold one to get the next one. The one watch at a time mindset ended with those. I still have the watches referenced below. By the mid 90's I saw and purchased this (2296.80). Still my favorite.


Later, I got taken in by a Speedy (3590.50) and a desire for a manual wind watch. Then decided I needed a RM chronograph (2812.52), to round out the offering. Little did I know, I created my own "Trilogy" collection. I thought I was done and was happy with the three. Then I saw the bezel on the newer Seamasters and went with this black on black diver (212.30.41.20.01.003).


Again, happy to have what I had, until I got interested in this GMT (2234.50). I like the old school bezel on this one.


I always thought the Ploprof was an awesome timepiece, I didn't really give it much more thought than that. Then over the past 5 years, I started to casually follow prices as my desire continued to grow. Tried one on in the NYC OB to confirm that I would be happy regarding how it fit my wrist. This is my grail watch (224.30.55.21.01.001).


With it, I think I've jumped the shark and will, hopefully, enjoy what I have. I know I'll be enticed by what I see from others. It already happened this morning...

I've enjoyed looking at the various Seamasters in this thread. Thanks for posting.

Quite a collection! Mesh bracelet on the PO looks sweet.
Thanks! It's super comfortable too because the bracelet drapes down right around the wrist.

I agree, the mesh is more comfortable than I thought it would be.

My wife decided she really liked my 2503.34 AT, so I had no choice but to get another one 😀

I got a fever and my only prescription is more...

Your original Planet Ocean 2500, on the “Shark Cage” mesh bracelet is the best looking PO to date!! I’ve had both the 42MM and the 45XL
