Rebuilding the Collection….slowly

[MJ EXPLORER]

Late last year I sold my 5 watch collection (3 Rolex and 2 Omegas). I then reaquired my all-time favorite watch, the Explorer II. As much as I love the floating hands of the 216570, I went 226570 and I’m absolutely loving it. Foundation piece of my collection and my daily.

I tried a few inexpensive watches as the foil to the Explorer II but they all fell a little short. Tudor Black Bay Pro, Omega Railmaster and Seiko SLA043 (62 MAS re-issue).

I finally made a run at one that I’ve loved since it was introduced, but it was pricey (even gently used). I picked up an IWC Big Pilot 43 and couldn’t be happier. Massive wrist presence, but not too big.

Explorer II and Big Pilot…very happy. I’m going to take my time on adding a third. Just for fun, what’s a good 3rd watch in your opinion? My max budget is about $10,000.
