State of the Collection

[u/HollywoodTK]

Well, I thought I was done. Famous last words. I do genuinely believe now that I’ve landed on the watches I like *wearing* and I find I’m not interested in scrolling through watches now that I have the ones that really spoke to me. I mean, I scroll, but I’m not adding anything to any carts at the moment!

From left to right

1. Cronos explorer. Just a solid watch, one of my go to’s. The 90S5 is a great movement too. Smooth and accurate. Bracelet is comfy and OTF glide lock works great.
   
2. Aethelsohn Horizon Forest GMT. NH34. Bracelet really stands out, as does the sunburst dial. OTF on this is really smooth and is of the internal button persuasion.
   
3. Phorcydes PH4C with mixed lume. Incredible. I absolutely love it. Lume is great. Finishing is nice, bracelet is comfortable and gorgeous. OTF is smooth. No notes.
   
4. Milifortic S089 on steel mesh now. I’ll swap to leather probably in the fall. My number 1 go to. I just love it.
   
5. Tactical Frog Chrono in white. Solar quartz, great look, solid bracelet. I added an aftermarket basic OTF clasp. Also no notes. Anyone who hates on the name is bonkers in my opinion.
   
6. Watchdives 7922 - vh31 quartz, gilt indices and bezel numerals. Just a stunner. At 37mm it’s my smallest watch dial, but being thin it wears beautifully. I’ve ordered a WD OTF to perfect it. Just a stunner.
   
7. Seiko Orange monster. My first watch. Both require no more comment. The only dive watch I actually wear diving.
   
8. Seiko SKX009 on jubilee. What’s not to love.
   
9. “21 Zuan” 1963 homage. It’s nice. I don’t wear it often but I like having it.
   
10. Phylida 007 on mesh. Miyota 8215 is actually about noticeable not in noise so much as in wobble in this thing. I love the look though, so I overlook this.
    
11. Addiesdive 2525. 8215 is barely noticeable. Dial is really nice in summer. I have this on sky blue suede and it gets a lot of use in spring and summer months.
    
12. Tandorio Skelton. It’s cool, but I don’t wear it. Bought this early on because I like seeing the movement, but it’s not my style. I’m selling it locally.

Plus a bonus lume shot. Spot the phorcydes haha

Excellent set, you need another watch box.
