Here's a partial shot of my small collection:


Since I took this photo, I've added a Speedmaster.

You have a great collection. I think you should sell the Tudor.

To me. 😁

Any thoughts as to models with color? I added the Seamaster 300m, which adds some color, but agree that is a point of deficiency.

What about the blue dial Omega Globemaster?
Very versatile.
Otherwise the new Longines Pilot watch in blue?

very impressive “sample”!
Thank you... been collecting for decades and I'm older then most, but not all

Sample of my collection
Great collection. I think I’d eliminate the Offshore in favor of a standard panda dial Royal Oak. Also, more of a comment, but lots of black dials here. I obviously suffer from a similar issue.

I did say sample... here’s a few with lighter dials

These are great. What ref is the navitimer?
The Breitling is a reference A19350.

IMHO believe a lot of collectors prefer the more "traditional' Breitling reference... the Navitimer Chronograph and Montbrillant Olympus

Enjoyed the post but still would be interested in seeing your collection. I’m definitely not a price or brand snob unless we’re talking an all Nixon and Invicta collection - just doesn’t seem like respectable watchmaking imo. Grand Seiko would be a good add. Funny that no one likes the Superocean Chrono. I like that it’s a 42mm chrono with some serious water resistance (have two young kids).

Well, since you asked. Not all of them, but the ones in frequent rotation:



One things for sure: not enough speedmasters in my collection. That's next on my list, I think. Whatever you decide, definitely don't sell yours!

Asking for advice is awesome but actually taking it to heart is a different story. Before you sell off everything and head off, may be helpful to find out what YOU actually like. Nothing wrong with anyone’s personal preferences. Collections can be built around theme. No right or wrong answer. If you can hone in on what it is you are into, the journey and the outcome may be more enjoyable.

For heavens sake all of you the answer is simple.


Get a bigger box.

Keep the Tudor BB Black ETA. That model was only in production for a few months with very few of them made. I'm biased, I have one too, love the look, wear it often, and it's a keeper. Others say the BB58 wears better but if you can get away with the Meistersinger, you know you're fine with your BB.

Good advice. Despite the lack of love here for the YM, I think it’s a great looking watch. The pop of red on an otherwise monochromatic watch is its charm. This video is pretty good to give a sense of it since the photo isn’t great:


Otherwise, I think the two closest to the chopping block for me are the Tudor, given the number of dive watches, and the Meistersinger, just because it hasn’t been in rotation this past year. The Tudor is slightly hard to let go of since it’s mint, has all accessories and it was only made for 5 months.

Really like the Sinn. Didn’t know they had a red bezel version unless that’s a mod.
