My “poor mans” collection: Land, Air and Sea

Just received my Black Bay Harrods edition to complete my trio. Very happy with these 3 watches!

I think that’s a great collection


They’re also in order of my preference!

Sorry, might have misunderstood your post.

Reading it again I’m assuming you were on about your Tudor trio and still have the Explorer II?

Love it so far. My favorite part is the green text on the dial and green tip on the second. So subtle but just ties the bezel and dial together so well. Job well done by Tudor

Great trio.

Nowt poor about those 3 bad boys.

Maybe a Black Bay Bronze or the Black Bay Bronze Bucherer edition to add to your collection in the future?

My sentiments exactly. You might be better calling it a 'reasonable man's collection'.

Beautiful collection.

Exactly this! Solid collection! Nice variation. If only that Chrono was abit thinner, I’d be ALL over it

All you need now is "heart" and "fire" and you can summon Captain Planet! Hopefully someone got what I was getting at there

But nothing "poor" about that collection! Great versatile watches and a nice collection!

Typically I'm not really into chronos but there's something about the Black Bay that always draws my eye to it. Great collection!

I actually have a Bronze Bucherer but am trying to flip it. Wanted to use the funds to cover the Harrods. Maybe I'll pull it out of the safe and see if I change my mind
