For me, I can't imagine having a collection of all the same brand. A big part of the joy of looking at my collection is the variety and uniqueness of each piece based on what each particular maker is known for and/or specializes in. I have Omega and Tudor for my higher end. Longines, Hamilton, Mido in the middle. Even just grabbed a new Seiko SSK019 "pepsi" for a weekend/after work wear and love it. For some reason it's actually one of my favorite watches and it's even the cheapest. Go figure ha! They all fit different situations/outfits which for me is what I love most. Of course it's all personal preference as Teddy mentions all the time. It's what makes my journey enjoyable to me.

Interesting that you feature the PRX when talking about quick release spring bars. While the bracelet does wear larger since it doesn't allow for much taper, they've actually fixed that on the strap, making it wear much smaller on that. It's one of the reasons I haven't put mine back on the bracelet since I got the strap.

@davefreeh2892 3 ай бұрын

Teddy, you touched on two things that I totally relate too. Under rated with a bracelet clasp that is adjustable without a tool. I recently purchased a Tudor Ranger, a close cousin to the Explorer and significantly less expensive. It has a clean tool watch appeal and is not pretentious and has a clasp that is adjustable on the fly. My Submariner is going much less wrist time.

Very interesting observation regarding collectors vs enthusiasts. That someone can be an enthusiast without being a collector for whatever reasons I understand, but the flip side of that, being a collector without being an enthusiast, just to say they have a certain watch, is something I can’t comprehend. It’s very comparable right now to the bourbon/whiskey community where people collect just to show off what they’ve accumulated but never drink what they’ve collected where as an enthusiast will open and drink every bottle they are fortunate to obtain and learn what they can about what they have.

@ianforber 3 ай бұрын

I agree. A collector is someone who has so much of something (in this case watches) that they can’t possibly use it all regularly and probably doesn’t care about that. Just having it is more important than using it. An enthusiast wants something because they like it and intend to use it. There is probably a line where an enthusiast slides down the slippery slope and becomes a collector without noticing. I wonder what that is? I count myself as an enthusiast and have four watches which I rotate, wearing one for a week at a time. There’s probably two other watches I’d like to own but would having six watches tip me over the edge into being a collector?!

@HiHereIsMe 3 ай бұрын

For everyone sharing the interest in “anything that’s just well made” I want to recommend a series here on KZfaq from the German television station SWR, called “Handwerkskunst” (eng.: the art of craftsmanship). In the series a TV team accompanies different craftsmen just doing their job - they had multiple watch related episodes but there’s so much more to get into: from restoring a painting, casting a church bell or traditionally binding a book up to building a Piano. It’s very calmly filmed and super interesting to watch. It’s in German (of course) but they have English subtitles in most of the episodes. Watching this makes you develop a lot of appreciation for so many things that are mostly industrial nowadays but you can rabbit hole into almost anything when it’s made by hand. Really fascinating!

Re other collections. I enjoy a good pen, but so far haven’t gone nuts with it. Mostly I collect Fisher space pens, Parker, and Rotring. Nothing over $50 and some even less. I keep 2 or 3 on my desk, 2 in my briefcase, 1 in my car, and one clipped to my checkbook. Pretty much covers all my pen needs. I do the same with pocket knives/multi tools. Incredibly useful to have 3 or 4, but not more. 1 in the car, 1 or 2 at home, 1 in my desk at work, and one small one on my keychain. And mostly I collect Victorinox. Swiss army. I tried luxury ties but found that past a certain threshold, nobody notices, and the expensive ones are actually less functional than mid pried ones. Goodyear welted shoes and boots however, are well worth paying extra money for the comfort, longevity and appearance over cheaper shoes. I haven’t tried luxury denim yet.

They do have their place, but many date windows are simply too small and/or color matched poorly. And some otherwise beautiful dial designs would just be so much better without these cutouts.
