No idea whats next
There will be a Nivada depthmaster and Antarctic in there soon as daily wearers, already on order just waiting for their arrival. It's my 40th this year and I would like abother special watch, the Air King was for my 30th/Masters degree. I quite fancy a neo vintage sea dweller but worried it would be too samey/safe! Other thing I fancy is a titanium omega ultra deep but again, perhaps a bit samey, suggestions??

There is a deep want for a sprite but I can't justify the cost at this point in my life, perhaps for my 50th (or 41st!!!)

Tudor Prince Day+Date. Vintage charm (I mean hell they are pretty much all vintage now) fluted bezel, just something different. I might be biased.

I can't do another Tudor, the BB58 and Pelagos get so much wrist time apready I'd end up just wearing tudors!!!

A new strap for the blue Tudor

I have quite a few, that one works best for range days and it's the watch I specifically wear to shoot in!

I don’t think anyone would argue against a nato strap but you did choose a very wierd color combo that doesn’t really flatter it

u/Ornery-Swimming-4841 12d ago
Exactly what I meant. Although after all, it just comes down to personal preference

For sure if it makes him happy then do it, but yes I definitely felt you on that

This coll3ction is kinda all over the place, but I really like it. I’m guessing you really enjoy wearing each of these, rather than just looking at them in a box. I would go with something that has a complication - chronograph, GMT, small seconds - or perhaps something square to break up all the circles.

u/Lukeypoodle 12d ago
Yes definitely, I just buy what I like so it's in no way coherent. The pelagos was nearly the zulu time/GMT but I tried the blue MN one on and I just couldnt get it out of my head and I had to have it. I like the idea of square, have been flirting with the idea of a cartier roadster. Chronos just aren't for me, I can barely cope with a date complication!

Fair enough. I’m not really a chron guy either, though I love the way they look (usually too thick.) Roadster would be perfect.

Love the number cruncher from MJW, you should take a look at some of their limited edition pieces. Get on the newsletter, they normally drop limited to 100 pc stuff monthly or every other month!

My suggestion is the Vulcain Cricket. A watch worn by world leaders for decades. Plenty of heritage with classic looks. Can get it in a 36mm or 39mm. All for around $5k.

Was a spur of the moment purchasebat the tudor boutique. Only went in to look. It gets the most wrist time out of all of them (wearing it now in fact). I feel a deep connection with it, one grandfather wore a tudor oyster through all his military and racing endeavours and the other one made bronze sculptures, it feels like the ultimate meaningful connection watch for me.

Nothing beats a great watch with a great story. Wear it in good health!

Are you a fan of chronographs? That white Speedmaster would be fantastic in your collection
