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.

      Hehe I was seriously considering the nomos club og you have (first one at bottom) as it seemed good value but really found not a dress watch person. Can I also be an enabler in recommending second hand Tudor dive watches if you want a diver hehe

        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
