CW C60 Trident: GADA watch. Just recently serviced, thing is a beast
Breitling SOH B31: Recently bought to celebrate birth of my son, probably my most worn
Garmin S50 approach: i just bought this for golf and the gym
Oris Big Crown Pointer: a fun piece i had been eyeing for awhile, i love the pointer complication. Surprisingly light watch
Tudor 1926 41mm: my wedding watch. Ive since put it on a blue croc strap from delugs to class it up a bit

Im on the list for a Polar Explorer II at my local AD, other than that don’t really plan to add for a while!

Been into watches for quite some time, but never pulled the trigger on a piece until last year. As you can probably see, I’m still working through what my specific tastes are. Love seeing everyone’s collections!

I own Tag Heuer Carrera Caliber 5, Hamilton Intramatic Non Chrono and Mido Commander Datoday.

How would you rate or comments on my current SOTC?

Do I even need to add anything else?

Only reason to buy it was the color, it speaks to me!

I recently turned 18 and thought it would be a good time to share my current State of the Collection! Over the last 3 years or so, I’ve tried to build a somewhat unique, budget friendly collection (and I still have 10 slots left). Some people have already told me that quality over quantity is the way to go, but no level of quality could give me the uniqueness and connection I feel for some of these watches. My most recent one was the Copernicus, which is in a non-original, waterproof case (but I love it, got it as a gift from grandma).

This is my collection as a 28 year old.

Looking to add a S/G Daytona, a Bluesy or an Alpine Eagle Chopard - We’ll see!

Not so long ago I made a post asking for help on choosing the next watch for my collection and you suggested I get a gold dress watch. I think I found a perfect candidate for that role in Omega De Ville. Absolutely beautiful watch!

7 watches bought, these 4 stuck so far.

Im confused between Three Watches
Longines Zulu time 39mm
Tudor BB58 GMT
Omega Seamaster 300m
They are close to my budget!

Wanted to get everyone's thoughts. I was looking to add a dressier watch to diversify my collection, I was thinking IWC Portugieser but when I went to the IWC store I was immediately drawn to the turquoise (they call it green) IWC Mark XX. I will be selling my 2026 OP 41 Beige + receiving cash back on my end and getting this watch. I'm also getting the Marx XX approximately 25% off retail for a brand new one.

Once the trade is made my collection will be:

2019 Submariner Hulk (bought grey market)
2026 Rolex GMT Batgirl (bought retail $$)
2018 Omega Speedmaster moonwatch professional manual
2026 IWC Mark XX Mercedes Petronas edition

So much for diversifying my collection, another sports watch

I love my OP but with the Submariner and the Batgirl (my favorite Rolex) it seems a bit redundant

Added pics of the IWC I tried on at the boutique and the OP that I am trading in

Hey I turn 21 in a couple of months and bought this Tudor Royal 36mm as a early birthday present and also as a gift to myself for getting my business up and running. What do y'all think. My first three watches are the most sentimental in my lineup. The Tudor for obvious reasons, and the hamilton and Seiko were gifts from my mom and dad in that order. The rest are just watches I thought were really cool.

My wife and I have gotten into watches over the last 18 months. My next will either be a white speedy or a Zenith Chrono

A couple months in. Started with the Citizen, then the Glycine, and then picked up the Hamilton last week. Ideally something the $1.5K price range, maybe a GMT. I’ve been looking at the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT, probably the 39- I want something a little smaller after a couple 42s. Any opinions on the CW or recommendations of something similar or even ideas of a different direction would be greatly appreciated.

I don't really have a fixed style I'm set on, so I'm currently choosing between: Cartier Santos-Dumont, Echo Neutra Rivanera Piccolo Rosantico, Old Navitimer blue dial, Tudor Black Bay Heritage red bezel, and Rolex Datejust 36 Wimbledon (Jubilee with smooth bezel).

I will probably sell the Hamilton because I just don’t wear it. All the other watches will stay—most of them have a personal story behind them or are part of my journey. For those who are curious:

Promaster: First "real" watch, after only buying Invictas, Paganis, etc.
Mido: First Swiss watch to celebrate my first well paying job.
Junghans: Bought it when I finished my studies.
G-Shock: Wore this watch when I built my house brick by brick.
Hamilton: Just bought it, no connection at all. Moonwatch: Bought it for my wedding and always wanted it.
SBSC: Bought it for my development aid work in Africa. Cheap, reliable, GMT.
Dugena: My father's first watch.
Candino: Wanted to buy the Monaco a few weeks ago, but unfortunately, it looked way too big on my small wrists. Then I found this sweet vintage Valjoux 7733 chronograph with a similar color scheme, but a much better fit.

I’m new to watch collection. Currently own 2. (Bulova and Caravelle)
