I do own a 4-watch - collection, that actually costs roundabout eleven thousand: - My "daily driver" from Mon-Fri: Last years Tudor Ranger with the steel bracelet. To me, being a physician, this is the perfect watch for work. I wouldn't want to hold a watch that screams luxury under a patients nose (but to each his own) so I love its tool-like beauty and understatement - My weekend-watch for a BBQ with friends or a trip with the kids: The Hamilton Murph (42 for me). Beautiful watch. I love its versatility and own 4 additional leather straps I keep rotating. In theory, this could be the only watch one ever "needs"... - My dress watch: A Baltic MR01 (silver dial). I don't dress up very often these days, so this is to me is perfectly suitable. - The watch I only wear for "special occasions" and on holidays: The Omega Seamaster Diver 300m, white on a rubber strap. I'm very happy with my collection although I have to admit: There are a few GS models out there that look very, very tempting😅

Wearing my father’s DateJust ref 16233 Steel/Gold with a fluted bezel and Champagne dial on a jubilee bracelet… Even if it wasn’t my father’s watch I would still adore this thing, it’s simple yet uniquely elegant, it really is an incredibly beautiful time piece! My father was a contractor but despite his line of work he wore his watch every single day, when he got sick as a teen I brought it to him thinking he would want it as a good luck charm before going into surgery (yeah I was silly). Instead he took my hand and showed me how to wind it and how to set the time before giving it to me and telling me to keep it safe. I’m 19 now, and I wear it every single day, when it’s on my wrist, as silly as it sounds it’s like he’s still with me. ❤

Another excellent video. Teddy has impeccable taste. The size feature is also key as buying the wrong size is the biggest rookie mistake. When it comes to size the mm is not the only consideration. Lug to lug can be important, especially if they don't turn down. Also, black watches wear smaller than white watches. Dive watches wear smaller than thin bezel watches.

@kinnierlastimosa2737 Жыл бұрын

I loved the different categories and the hipster group was really fun. My dream watch had long been the Santos, and I got the Santos Galbée in 2011 as my one luxury watch. I thought I’d never “need” or want another watch. That lasted for more than 10 years. But as my brother got more into watches (Seikos specifically) and I had a trip to Japan planned, it got him excited for JDMs and me for the watch universe again. For the last year my “To Watch” list is basically Watches to Watch list, many of which are yours.

For the perfect pair, I would go with the Santos De Cartier not Dumont. You get the in house movement, both a bracelet and strap(a bracelet that is quick change and tool less link removal and the strap coming with a deployment buckle). Plus its a better sport option and just as good as a dress option. The medium goes for $6800. Too me it’s not even close. Your second watch could be either the Longines Spirit Chrono with a flawless case and almost in-house mechanism, choice of bracelet or strap and they are also quick change at about $3100 on the steel or if you want to up it a bit go to the Longines Spirit Chrono fly back which is even nicer for $4400 on the steel. The other option would be an Oris Aquis Date calibre 400 in 41.5 mm for $3700.
