[STOC] What’s your collection philosophy? (alien.top)

Do you buy and keep all of your watches? Do you have a one and done collection or maybe you’re like me and feel like three is the magic number. Would be fun to start a thread and see the reasoning behind everyone’s watch purchases 😁

Personally I feel like three is the perfect (and somewhat reasonable) watch collection size for me since it covers all aspects of my life:

Nomos Orion 35mm - This is my mon-fri office watch

Omega SMPc 300m - My weekend / going out watch.

Casio A168 - My work from home and traveling watch.

Two to three is perfect for me. My philosophy is: if it feels like a a watch isn't being worn enough, it doesn't belong, and it it's not clear which watch should be worn for a particular day or event, there's too much overlap and one should probably go.

I have these two plus a gshock. I just wish their lug widths were the same!

That's a beautiful Seiko, and IMO white dials just look good in general.

Thank you! I adore it, and it's look changes entirely on leather vs. bracelet. L

What Seiko chronograph is this?

[–] SBKev16@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Love the GS, could I ask for the model name?

That GS is absolutely gorgeous
