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 11 months ago

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

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

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

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

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

[–] juannyca5h@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

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

Swap the locations of the two Bulovas

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

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

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

Money from parents

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

Amazing how the strap selections really enhance your collection

[–] 115machine@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

That Citizen Barnacle looks great!

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

That is a really cool collection! Well done!

[–] cvaughn84@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What's the two bottom right?

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

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 11 months ago

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

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

I dig the colour and contrast. Nice collection!

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

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

[–] itemluminouswadison@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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?

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

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

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

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

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

Very good aesthetic taste my friend

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

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

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

Where did you find a fitted rubber for the kamasu?

[–] osbak@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] colbat45@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Always appreciate someone making good use of different straps

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

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

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

Those Bulovas 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

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

Clinical picks

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

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

[–] indonesiandoomer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I like the RGB theme 🟥🟩🟦

Honestly way better than most of the collections posted here.

[–] Sore-Fingertips@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Melonusk69420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] corruptjudgewatch@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] Ballz1893@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

You are one hell of colorful student.

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

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