What changes did 2025 bring to your collection? Plans for 2026?

Happy Holidays everyone!

I might have missed it, but I didn't see the usual year's end thread reflecting on the watches people added or sold in 2025, or their plans for 2026. So I guess I'll try starting one.

Overall, 2025 was a year of consolidation for me - four watches left and two were added. My collection has a little less variety, but it also has less redundancy and each watch lends itself to wear in specific situations. This has simplified deciding which watch to wear for a particular day/event/occassion.

Here is what I had at the end of 2024:


Here is what I have now at the end of 2025:


(I've had the Citizen field watch since 2011, but failed to include it in last year's picture).

2026 is going to be a big year for me, including a birthday ending with a zero and finally finishing 10 years of medical school/residency/fellowship. I haven't decided what to get to celebrate, but the no date aluminum Seamaster, 1655 Explorer II, and a ceramic Daytona are all on the short list.

I splurged a bit too hard last year. Picked up 2 Sinns at the end of 2024 and an X-33 at the start of 2025. I also have a few pieces serviced as well.



I'm not 100% sure what my plan is this year, but I am still hunting for a few vintage 60s and 70s Seikos and a couple central minutes chronographs.
