IWL Challenge: 1 brand, 3 watches, all you need for 20 years!

[Domo]

SBGX091 for when I'm feeling punctual, SBGA075 for when I'm feeling smooth and SBGJ005 for when I'm feeling tightly-strung.



If I have to explain to you that I own these three watches then frankly you're not paying enough attention to my posts

This is a great excuse (since money is no object) to get my grubby paws on a 1655. I'd add my DJ 16200, then Explorer 1 14270. This is good for 20 years, plus 20 more. (borrowed pics except for DJ)

my other option

[Matt]

and which one(s) do you currently own?

All of them, they are all my own pictures, as are these:


I've owned the SMP for getting on for twenty years already. It's never let me down and I have abused it terribly.


The AT has a 'B' revision coaxial movement which still beats at 28,800. I bought it new, So I guess that must be getting on for a decade



As for the Speedmaster, hell, I've probably only had that for seven or eight years, but that's mainly because I made the mistake of getting a Reduced first and it took me a while to admit that it's just not the same thing. It's not.

So a Grand Seiko isn't a Seiko despite the tedious effort they go to to put both Seiko and Grand Seiko on the dials?

[Nutty28]

Ok, I will play.....

My "collection" approach is to avoid any similar look and feel. This has helped me greatly in minimizing any impulsive purchases.

I would pick JLC in this instance ( I already the first two shown)

JLC Navy Seals Alarm - badass, and tough enough to take most beating (based on my definition of course)



JLC Reverso 986 Duo - I can wear this on most formal occasions, and yet versatile enough to be worn with jeans if need be., or an evening night out.





JLC Master Ultra Thin - when the occasion calls for a dressy piece, this will meet the mark. Hopefully, I can own this beauty in the next 2 years.

Great JLC choices, although if a Grand Seiko isn't a Seiko, then a Reverso has to count as two watches.

Normally I would say Grand Seiko, but I like a good Dive Watch and their offerings are 44mm and too big for my liking, so i'll go with Omega (sorry Domo)

[iyonk]

I'm not expecting any 'like' but just for fun of this thread, these would be them.. all casio g-shock, since i have spare parts for these.. and i love this particular model dearly..

thank God this thread is fiction! to bad there's no automatic/mechanical casio.

I've got a late 60s Skyliner manual (37mm)



I would like an early 70s Lord Marvel manual (34mm)



and an SBGW047 manual (38mm) which was released recently in an LE



As you might have guessed, my watch philosophy is: manual, no numerals, central seconds, no date, sub-40mm, on a strap

Obligatory wrist shot:



Sadly the blue dial on that Lord Marvel is inauthentic, the watch was only released with light dials
