Hello and thank you

[Calumets]

Thanks for the add. This seems like a very civilised place to loiter and drool without offending anyone. I've frequented another place for a number of years, and hope to find polite camaraderie here...

Here's my current SOTC:

And something to celebrate spring:

And what I'm wearing today:

Nice to meet you...

nice eclectic collection

Thank you! That's pleasing actually as I always thought my tastes were rather conservative - I only recently added the two blues, the Vostok I've always liked and the Seestern with a view to getting a Doxa down the line (I wasn't sure whether I would like the case - still not sure)... The Lego was a sub-£10 watch I couldn't resist which turned up this morning and turned out to be massive, but will do as some mantel art next to my box.

yes was thinking more like russian, germany, swiss Chinese, etc and types too ... so yes nice mix of type and price points too ... no swatch x omega

I have been trying to down size for years so now around the 12/15 watch collection but mine's more themed then I thought maybe in some ways mil,bling,vintage, seems to be it

[Calumets]

Aah yes, I see what you mean. I started out almost exclusively with vintage gold dress watches (Longines, Omega, Cyma etc) and just my max bill, but the costs of service and a few accidents involving water and scratched crystals meant I moved away from that completely. I hadn't really meant to have a range from different countries, but German style, build quality and accessible price points made them pretty inevitable. It is only very recently (2022) that I have tried cheaper watches from Russia and China. I downsized my collection from a high of 32 pieces to 6, and then wanted some fun, cheap alternatives with a splash of colour. I am amazed at just how good the Seestern feels for the money.

yes seen steeldrive versions of it but not seesterns thats a new one on me ..the steeldrive is a cheap decent range of look a like watches for a fun wear .

yes I tend towards quartz's in expensive ones to minimize service cost (well service them myself ) but the Russian are normal work horse movements that go fine on their own for lot of years.. yes the tudors are classic line that is a nice touch would like a 1960's one at some point .

and that's a very nice, universal collection you have. What's the no-logo one in the lower right of the box (and also the one below it, outside of the box)?
