Collection complete

... for now anyway

I have always appreciated smaller curated collections and have agonized (not really) over choosing which ones to keep long term. Have been through ALOT of really good watches over the years but these are my keepers

BLNR: Out of all of them I have had this one the longest, I wore it on my wedding day, pretty much a perfect watch in my mind



OP39: Bought this to celebrate the birth of our daughter and hope to pass it on to her one day. I love wearing it, extremely versatile and unmatched comfort on the wrist, it probably gets the most wrist time of all of them



Seiko SPB051: My dive watch. I love Seiko and the value they offer, especially this Prospex line honestly don’t think you can do better at this price point



IWC Portuguese 7 Day: My newest addition and first gold piece it’s a dream on the wrist and oozes quality from every angle, the ardoise dial is stunning and that movement! love this thing



Also have a new 4watch roll from Carapaz on the way!

I feel very grateful to have these beautiful watches in my life, I can honestly say I am content

Thanks for looking!

Good work!

I was at the IWC boutique today. Still can’t figure out which Portuguese I like the best... That’s a great choice!

I originally wanted the white dial 5007-01 but once I saw the ardoise dial in person I was sold

Can’t really go wrong with any of them though, good luck in your search!

"I feel very grateful to have these beautiful watches in my life, I can honestly say I am content." I applaud anyone that can get to this place with anything. Congratulations and they look like a thoughtfully chosen foursome. Enjoy them all.

HaHA! I want to believe you with your current beautiful collection, but just a few days ago I posted my current collection that took me 4 years to acquire...

3 days later, I already sold one, and am dealing on another...

Tell me anything if you want but not collection complete... Those words are cursed.

A great looking, well rounded collection I think. A mix of brands, dial colours, sizes, functions, bracelets and with some PM sprinkled in there too!

Congrats - looks like great diverse collection!


...and good luck on the contentment aspect. I posted just last week on my "curated collection" and then swapped out 2 of my 3 watches less than a week later. Will post a new incoming this week.

Thanks for all the kind words! I'll be sure to post up a group shot when the new roll comes in
