Not sure if they can be open-back for your purposes…. But if they can be, the Beyer Amiron Home Wired are by far the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn. They don’t sounds as good as my 1990s, but I almost always reach for the Amirons because of the comfort

Very very tempted to add a GO SeaQ (39.5mm), very heavily discounted on the pre-owned market. What do we think?

Yeah when I had bought mine in August they said they were raising the prices in the near future. Not sure if this is the second price hike or if they were just baiting me back then 🤷‍♂️

The XPS is off the hook. The movement is stunning, slims down the thickness even further AND you lose the date, if that’s what is holding you back. But oh man does the price reflect those upgrades 😅

Tangente is 35mm. Day Date 36mm

What gave it away? Entire bottom row? 🤣

I hear you. Club is smaller and dressier, but surprisingly rugged and on a nato can be pretty robust.

Tudors are sweet for sure. Maybe one day.

To be honest- I’ve seen a couple of Glashutte Original SeaQ on the secondary market for a great price. Very very tempting

Which other steel watches do you have? I’m really loving the AE. It’s thin- I think 9.7mm- which makes it super-wearable. Also the lucent steel (recycled) has this amazing luster to it- it really glows in the right lighting.

The bezel is a little tricky with scratches though because of the brushed finish.

I hear you on the date. Truth is, for me, date is a useful complication. And at the 4:30 position, it’s actually very legible when you need it, and disappears when you don’t because of the nicely matched color.

The watch really does hold up as its own thing. Value is there. A pleasure to wear. Really wears like a luxury watch, which is something I’d never experienced before.

It is amazing. Nothing like it. Such a happy and vivid blue- especially love how the orange second hand pops against it

Enablers always welcome 😉

 

Started collecting 8 years ago (my first mechanical watch, the Longines Legend Diver is currently being serviced).

Since then, I went on a nomos kick (too many Nomos), bought another throw-back diver (Doxa Sub300 50th anniversary), inherited my Grandfather’s Rolex Daydate, and most recently picked up the Chopard Alpine Eagle.

The collection is becoming unruly…. If I had to part with one it would be the Tangente (just haven’t bonded with it), but I should probably get rid of a Club or two as well…. But I love each of them differently. I don’t find myself wearing the Doxa much either except when going to the beach.

What are your thoughts on the collection? What does the collection say about me? Any advice on pairing the collection down? I’ve never sold a watch that I’ve purchased…. Have a hard time parting with them.
