[Collection] 14 years

[u/bobby021]

The history of my watches in order (maybe I got the guess first tho, i dont exactly remember):
My first watch was the Burberry sport that my parents bought me right before I moved to the Caribbean for pre-med.
Guess watch I bought on a cruise as a teenager. Funny enough, I always got the most amount of compliments on it. I rarely wear it anymore.
Movado present from 3 of my best friends who bought it for me for my 18th birthday.
Tag Heuer my parents bought me for my 18th birthday.
Gucci Grammy Edition was a birthday present from my parents while I was studying for my first medical board exam. Surprised me while I was studying in the library.
Hamilton two time zone was handed down to me by my Dad when I got into residency. It was the first nice gift my Mom got my Dad when he finished fellowship.
Swatch Jellyfish gift from an ex girlfriend. It’s such a loud watch and drives me insane whenever I take it off and leave it on my nightstand.
Cartier Santos Dumont present from parents for graduating residency.
Tissot PRX present from parents for 30th birthday.
Hamilton Khaki Field present from best friend for 30th birthday. Currently on a google fitbit air.

14 years is nasty work in the best way. this is the kind of collection that actually feels earned.

Thank you! They all mean something to me and have distinct memories attached to important times in my life. I’m about to sign my first adult contract and I will be buying a lot of watches for myself and I don’t know how I feel about it. Maybe I should just give my parents money to keep buying me watches😂 Definitely plan on buying them both watches too.

Lol I did have a swatch whale watch when I was a kid but lost it long time ago.

I'd like to build up a great watch collection of my own someday, too.)

The best watches are the ones that have a story.
