This is my current collection as a 22 year old medical student. I would love to hear your thoughts on what these pieces say about me. Unfortunately, the two remaining watch pillows will have to remain empty for a while as I focus on paying my medical school tuition. However, I’m certainly open to being tempted if anyone has suggestions ;)

Your strap choice is incredible and makes every single watch stand out. Well done! Where do you get your straps from?

[–] Tae-gun@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is a great collection. I give it 8/8.

[–] esvegateban@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yet another collection of the same watch repeated in different colors.

[–] oakomyr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Great collection. Cool colors. Where’d you get the rubber bands? Are they comfortable?

[–] juannyca5h@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Give the Hamilton khaki expedition a look! Great collection man! What brand of rubber straps do you use? Looks like you’re happy with them!

[–] DokDoom@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Really nice collection!

Are those curved end rubber straps? I really like the look of them. Can I ask where you got them?

[–] Value_horology@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How do you like the PRX Chrono. It’s my favorite version of the PRX

[–] Prisma_Cosmos@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Swap the locations of the two Bulovas

[–] Lssmnt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

For someone who is a medical student I am shocked and appalled that you have mismatching colors with each row when the opportunity to have matching columns was clearly there, please switch the two Bulova at the bottom row

[–] UGLYSimon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What's the red Bulova? Great collection! My Dr spouse just purchased her first watch: a mission to Mars Moonswatch to match her limited edition red & smoke Cardio IV stethoscope

[–] DPP-Ghost@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's a substantial collection for a student! When I was still studying, owning a collection like this was unfathomable.

I love the bold colours. Your outfits must be very lively 😂

[–] ValtteriBootass@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

OPs definitely blowing through their line of credit (or has $$$ in the family)

[–] smokelaw@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Money from parents

[–] skylos@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like the colors and all, but I notice a theme... not a single one of them has numbered hours. Huh.

Suggestion: Timex expedition titanium. Not so shiny, very readable, has numbers! :)

[–] pipasnipa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing how the strap selections really enhance your collection

[–] 115machine@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If my doctor was wearing any of these, I’d be happy to know that I was in the care of someone with good taste

[–] InisheerKSU@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That Citizen Barnacle looks great!

[–] henronwier@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That is a really cool collection! Well done!

[–] cvaughn84@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What's the two bottom right?

That red bulova on red. Green gentleman on green and blue citizen on blue is so fucking cool. These all look great but those 3 are just wow to me.

[–] captainpiebomb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As a fellow graduating med student and watch enthusiast, your taste is 👌

[–] TheMortgageBoss@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I dig the colour and contrast. Nice collection!

[–] bobbyphysics@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like you've gotta love those pens with 4 colors in one 😉

[–] itemluminouswadison@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

woah that green gentleman is insane. red on the bulova is beautiful too. you strap game is strong, damn. where'd u get those straps?

Why does everyone put in what their potential occupation is? Who cares?

[–] echtav@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

One day you’re gonna swap these out for Rolex and AP’s

[–] protocod@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wow you did it right. I don't used to comment SOTC posts but your collection is very well balanced.

Each watch looks good individually, but they looks very special together.

Good job.

[–] DrSeuss19@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Very good aesthetic taste my friend

[–] Spicywolff@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like the collection myself. Maybe save up and for the last two fill them in, as big accomplishment points.

[–] innie10032@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing collection, how do you link this Bulova Jet Star?

I've been checking this watch for some time and i believe this is a quartz watch that can compete in terms of quality with mechanical watches (together with GS spring drive)

[–] professorfunkenpunk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I dig it. You clearly like color, which is a nice change of pace

[–] vickzkool@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Brilliant collection ! can you share the link for red leater strap for Bulova & green leather strap for tissot please as i fell in love with them

[–] drfigglesworth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Where did you find a fitted rubber for the kamasu?

[–] osbak@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] colbat45@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Always appreciate someone making good use of different straps

[–] dying_to_be_vain@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’d save those last two spots for the two special milestones coming up in your career. Get another watch when you graduate and start residency - something nice, but not too expensive. Residents are paid peanuts, after all, and don’t use loan funds to buy a watch. And then treat yourself to a grail watch with your first attending paycheck.

[–] Hwy61blues@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Good luck on your steps! Good profession if you get into collecting 😀

[–] Domestic_AA_Battery@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Those Bulovas 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[–] CoffeeWatchesCars@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Clinical picks

[–] boughtitout@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How does that blue Bulova lunar pilot wear? True to size, maybe a little smaller?

Big fan of this SOTC :)

[–] Sanctine@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Looks great! Very colourful. I find it much more interesting than the usual fare.

Love the red Bulova, I have a thing for red watches. But my favourite pieces are probably the Lunar Pilot, and also that Tissot Seastar.

If I had a recommendation, I'd say check out something with a bronze case next.

[–] anshinsei@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Beautiful collection and colors. Your camera skill is also impressive. One of the best SOTC photos

[–] indonesiandoomer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like the RGB theme 🟥🟩🟦

Honestly way better than most of the collections posted here.

[–] Sore-Fingertips@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you think the bulova jet star is worth saving up for?

[–] Melonusk69420@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think it definitely is. Although, it also depends on what else you're saving for.

[–] corruptjudgewatch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Ballz1893@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How do you afford to pay med school tuition and have such a good collection at the same time

[–] Contended-Forever@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You are one hell of colorful student.

[–] reiboul@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

To the non-enthusiast, you have, like, 3 different watches
