Hi everyone,

So this is my collection and I am now feeling so deeply the power some watch brands have over me.

For instance, I feel I NEED the next watch to be a Rolex, even if I like some Tudor’s models more… Why am I so easily influenced, it’s scary.

I am not wearing anymore both the Hamilton and the Bulova, even if a few years back, when I bought them, I loved them so much.

I even believed the jazzmaster to be the perfect watch for me and that I wouldn’t have ever needed a second one (ahah).

Also, I’m the only one of my group of friends collecting, so nobody around me really understands any of my claptrap about this.

So, my question for you would be: what is your judgement on this collection so far and which model would you trade?

Between the Hamilton or bulova for me. Never been a fan of open heart watches and don’t think they age well. The rest of your collection is great, some lovely pieces.

Normally agree with this on openly displayed movement watches but the Accutrons always get a pass in my book because of the history. I just find them really interesting

Ye to be fair it’s much better looking than the Hamilton. The entire movement being exposed looks nicer.
