Looks great, but I think you really need a moonphase for safety

Don’t forget to screw the crown down

Be sure to wear that to weddings, I’m sure it slips nicely under the cuff

Keep the GMT, the pro master, the white citizen, and your favorite gshock. Maybe the Seiko at the bottom too for a small beater. Then if you decide to upgrade or expand later, you’ll be in a better place for either

Where did you find the carpet?

I have the Aachen 42 with the upgraded movement and it’s wicked nice. If you want an OG flieger under $500, Laco is definitely the way to go. At ~$1.5k Stowa gets in the mix too but Laco has options too.

My only issues with it are that the stock leather strap is a little plasticy and I’d prefer a Miyota 9xxx movement without a ghost date and a better sweep.

I like it; you’ve got your own spin on some of the usual suspects and there’s good variety in style and color. The Sinn can dress up well enough unless you find yourself attending truly formal events.

It looks like there’s another slot, which I’d be inclined to fill with a GMT/chronograph or something funky

Turn the zenith into a 38mm el primero and drop the monster, the Hamilton, and maybe the other Seiko too. Get an explorer/bb36/etc. and something with a fun dial color
