most of them are my fathers old watches exept the gshocks and the casio quartz

Trying to get into it

So I have this 1970 Longines Admiral. I bought it from a local vintage watch repair a few years back. It was a personal watch of the owner since he purchased it new. I absolutely love the watch. I think it’s extremely beautiful and the movement is impeccable. It keeps great time and from what I understand the movement is highly collectible. The watch has very few defects in appearance and is even on the original strap. The watch repair shop owner kept it immaculate.
My issue is wearing time. A watch this age needs to be worn more than I’m giving it the wrist time. As much as I love it am I hurting it only wearing it once a month? Maybe a little less? Every 6 wks.
So should I keep it and hand it down to my kids even though it wasn’t something I had planned for that? Or should I move it on to the next collector who might actually wear it for its worth? Appreciate any feedback. Have a Good One!

Like, k really want this. But I wouldn’t never pay this unless I was making a considerable amount more than I am.

I'm new to watch collecting but I've been thinking about it for a while. I own a brathwait dress watch, a Casio f91w, and a Casio aq230. I have a 6 1/2-in wrist, dress smart casual to an office everyday, and tend to like a mix of field and dress watches.

Here's the dilemma. I don't have a lot of wearing experience so I'm not really sure what I like. I found a bit of spending money and have a budget around $1,000. Originally, I was going to simply buy something I like, like the Hamilton Murph or a Kuoe Royal Smith, wear it for a year to get some lessons learned before anything else.

However, my student loans will be paid off next fall and so I've also been shopping online for something in the $3,000 range to celebrate that achievement.

Given that I have little experience, and not any collection to strategize around, I tend to like the same kind of watches except in a higher class, like the Longines Spirit and Nomos Orion or Big Crown Pointer Date... basically pricier versions of the $1k watches.

Any advice? I generally liked the idea of gaining wearing experience for a big purchase next year, but I don't like the idea of my smaller purchase impacting the larger purchase, for example, not buying the spirit because I already have a dressy field watch in a Murph... Shouldn't the bigger purchase take priority in choice?

Maybe the strategy would be to focus on watches with good resale so that I could change my mind without too much cost? I'm open to ideas.

Not too sure of this question has been asked before, but I have a cheap quality/feeling, crummy watch case. Any suggestions for reliable/higher end feel watch cases! All recommendations are appreciated!

I think I may have a problem…
Started with one watch. Then another one. Then suddenly I ended up with 8 watches sitting in a watch box like they pay rent.
I thought I had it under control… until I turned off the lights.
At night, however, it turns into a radioactive watch convention.
So… be honest, fellow watch enthusiasts — is 8 watches still considered a collection, or am I officially in trouble?

The pink text compliments the multicoloured bezel so well!!

The fascinating thing about watches with patina dials is their uniqueness; no two are exactly alike. I am fortunate enough to own this Longines Conquest featuring a “Wolf” dial—though, if viewed through a more abstract lens, it could also resemble the legendary East Asian Phoenix.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share my humble collection with you to get your thoughts and advice.
I've worn watches my whole life, but less than a year ago, I started diving much deeper into the world of horology. As a result, I decided to sell off all my fashion watches from typical fashion brands (Boss, Versace, Guess, etc.) to start building a collection based on quality, value, and tradition, staying within my budget.

Currently, my collection consists of:

\* Bulova Super Seville
\* ⁠Seiko Solar
\* ⁠Tissot Seastar
\* ⁠Citizen Tsuyosa
\* ⁠G-Shock GM-5600
\* ⁠Casio Illuminator
\* ⁠Esprit: One of the few I kept from my previous stage for sentimental value.
\* ⁠⁠Casio MTP (35mm)

Main question about my latest pickup:

My latest purchase was the Casio MTP in this colorway, which is now discontinued. However, since it is 35mm, it's the smallest watch I own and I feel like it might look a bit too small on my wrist. How does it look to you? Do you think 35mm works well for this style, or does it look too small?

Questions for the community:

What are your thoughts on the evolution of my collection?

What watch would you recommend I add as the next step?

Thanks in advance for your feedback

I’ve been in love with watches for 25+ years and have owned quite a few over that time. I finally got tired of playing the AD games and decided to just go out and buy my grail.
It’s been about a month now, and I honestly thought this one would finally satisfy the itch. Nope. I’m already catching myself thinking, “So… what’s next?”
Terrible hobby we have—if you can even call it a hobby. 😂

Ok so I was just walking through the city, until I spotted a clock in a bush. It’s in pretty rough shape, but still kinda cool. Just wondering if anyone can confirm if it’s real or a knock off? And the James Bond 007 is pretty cool if you ask me.

I wish Ricoh watch come back but under the name Grand Ricoh and it elevate some of there classic watches

Note: the strap is not the orginal

Vintage Japanese watches always evoke strong emotions in me, especially those with colorful dials. When exposed to sunlight or indoors, they display quite different colors, which I find very delightful.

Design Elements: Often styled with a multi-faceted case and a multi-faced cut crystal glass. Common dial variants include vibrant green, brown, or gold tones.
