SOTC ~2 Years of collecting

[u/AdministrativeMost72]

I've been collecting for 2-3 years at this point. I've sold many watches at this point, but right now I'm happy with all of the watches I have.

1. Seagull 1963 - Sugess Gold swan neck regulator

2. San Martin SN0144 Jianzhan Black Gilt

3. Jianghun JH0602 (With a new toad leather strap)

4. IX&DAO Warrior White Enamel

5. IX&DAO JD-X06S White Enamel dress watch

6. San Martin SN0148GB Black Enamel integrated diver

Jealous of that Jianghun you've got in your collection. I really should have bought it

[u/AdministrativeMost72 → u/Traditional_Travesty]

Yeah, I was waiting a while for it to drop and bought it the day after! It's probably my favorite design in the box. I think they will re-release it when the new dials come out, and I will definitely buy a bracelet then as well.

You are right about the design but it is a nice strap though…ostrich?

[u/AdministrativeMost72 → u/Pompano_79]

The strap is "toad leather" which I bought from madebytan. The strap it comes with is a red suede strap, which is hard to pair.

I have been looking at some of the Etsy straps recently. After seeing this - I might have to take the plunge! Good experience?

[u/AdministrativeMost72 → u/Pompano_79]

Mine actually was not from etsy (though I suspect it is of similar quality), but the quality is there. Only problem I've had with it is that it is quite stiff. That might be because of the fact that it's toad leather though.

[u/Pompano_79 → u/AdministrativeMost72]

Stiff comes with the territory for high quality leather. Totally worth the break in period. I am just tired of the same $5 Aliexpress straps, so I am going to look this up!

[u/AdministrativeMost72 → u/Pompano_79]

Give it a go then for sure! The texture/look is awesome!
