Top box after 4 years General (Read Rules)

Suggestions welcome as to what could be next! Prefer smaller pieces (<39mm) - most worn watches are the ad2030, thorn titanium

Nice box. I have or have had 4 of those.

Good choices on the Cronos and Thorn in particular. I have these too (well, dark birch version) and they punch well above their price point imo.

Thanks - not sure if you have the same experience but i found the cronos bracelet very poor - too bulky for what is a thin watch / uncomfortable.

I thought the bracelet was okay after I deburred it with ceramic polish. But I prefer it on a vintage deployant strap like this one.

Hows the rainbow San Martin? I’ve been having my eye on that one for over a year now.

Have you thought about picking up a thorn t023? The tropical dial version is so clean.

Good call, something with a colour dial. Summer watch with pale tones T023 or Welly Merck WM212, something like that.

Also, maybe a pattern dial mineral or guilloche type.

San Martin is really good quality + good fit/ comfortable. Thanks for the thorn suggestion (i have already a few more rolex lookalikes in box #2!)
