  • In my experience, being “into” watches doesn’t mean I have many watches. In fact it’s the opposite. When I first got into the watch world I bought entry level seikos, skx013, ect.

    All fine.

    But then I tried a BB58 on and it ruined me.

    It was my grail.

    I made a mistake by buying a Lorier Neptune. Not because it’s a bad watch. It’s actually fantastic. But I was trying to fill the gap of the BB58.

    Long story short. During the time when BB58’s were hard to come by at AD’s.

    I happened to stumble into one and walked out with it.

    Now I only have 3 watches in my rotation.

    BB58 for nearly every day.

    Seiko SKX013 for more “active” days. Sports and such.

    Seiko Cocktail Time Presage (bought it for my grandfather and he recently passed so now it’s a part of my rotation)

    Moral of this long post is… if you have a grail watch in mind.

    Save.

    Buy it.

    Be done.

    Unless it’s some ridiculous Richard Mille. Then I would say correct your taste first hahaha. (they are mechanically impressive. But the pricing is repulsive)
