[Collection] 25 years old. Been into watches since I was about 16. What does it say about me? (alien.top)

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M white dial: my lead singer
Sinn 556A: vacation/fishing/outdoors/sometimes dress/pretty much anything watch
Seiko gold plated quartz dress watch (approx. 1990s): belonged to my grandfather, and means everything
Sternglas Naos Quartz: A whim - saw it in a shop window in Paris and honestly couldn’t resist the dial color.

What’s next?

It says you have restraint.

[–] sns_bns@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think it says that you do your research. Both the SMP 300 and the Sinn 556 are highly recommended by many watch youtubers.

You have a dress watch, a everyday office watch, a diver and a do-anything-field watch. You are pretty much covered for any scenario. Sorry buddy, you did too well and now you have run out of occasions that would justify another purchase.

It says u have good taste

It says you have a lot more money than I did at 25 and I’m happy for you. Also, I love Sinn and that omega is awesome too!

This low key resonates with me. I’m 23 and just purchased an Omega seamaster black dial as a daily. Love watches and the fam always gives me career advice so I feel like this purchase would help kill two birds. Been looking at a black dial seamaster for 2+ years and with a major purchase to celebrate paying off student loans is a nice statement to them that I’m doing alright on my own.

I don't know what it says but I like the collection and less sometimes is more, regardless what brand or price.

How do you like the yellow dial sternglas?? I saw it the other day and it looks amazing.

[–] cvyanks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Liking it a lot. It’s just fun

[–] marvanetes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It says you buy what you like. You didn’t buy that Sinn watch because you wanted attention. Most people would probably think that it’s a cheaper watch than the Seiko but you don’t care what others think you like to keep it simple. The Omega because you like it more than say a Breitling or a Rolex.

Classy collection

It says those are the watches you like

It says you’re gainfully employed. Kudos!

[–] snowbongo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It says, you like those four watches.

[–] Me-And-My-Camera@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It says that you got great taste! I think what comes next is a odd ball watch! Something from zodiac or nomos, something brightly coloured and fun

[–] sus9th@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d add Paulin or Mr Jones to this list!! Making some very cool designs, and the former makes c-shape cases with wild colors and is affiliated with AnOrdain

Nice collection. I’ve got the same 556A as my daily cockpit watch. Super legible. Has chased my GMTII off my wrist after 25 years. Good balanced set. Missing a chrono but otherwise you have yourl bases covered. I’m no shrink so can’t tell a thing about you other than that you like watches.

[–] MGerryA@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nice well rounded 4 piece collection.

[–] Huge_Kaleidoscope162@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love how you can see the date through the hand of the Omega

[–] Spuckuk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You seek validation on reddit, says it all

[–] notinteresting0001@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It says you look like nice watches.

It is way better than meth.

[–] apurvv@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d say get Ikepod next. Duopod, their two hander or the chronopod
