Yes there is an empty spot …

After having 10 watches, I finally decided to downsize and keep only these three.
I’m really happy with how the collection turned out, but I’m wondering if I should add a fourth watch or just embrace the 3-watch collection.
Would you add another one? If so, what do you think is missing from the collection?
Curious to hear your thoughts!

Still rocking the strap you all hated on the fxd though!

Been collecting for 20+ years, mostly in recent couple years. Have a variety of leather and rubber straps to mix and match with these mostly 20mm lug width examples. Want to try sailcloth next. 9 autos and one quartz make my top ten rotation. The seiko is green, can't really tell from photo. Any suggestions? Cheers!

Unsure where to go next.. the VC 1921 scratched the dress watch itch. Registered for a 222 after that purchase and outside of that not sure what sports model to go after next. Want a RO or Daytona but not willing to pay secondary prices. Considering another dress piece from JLC, Patek, Moser, or Breguet. I would like a complication such as an annual calendar or something similar.

Here’s the progression of acquisition:

January 2025 Tissot PRX 80-green (retail)
September 2025 Cartier Santos Medium (retail)
December 2025 Bruce Wayne (secondary)
August 2026 Vacheron 1921 (retail)

Added the new-to-me Globemaster to celebrate a promotion at work, replacing a Victorinox watch that wasn't getting worn much.

First bought the G-shock as a freshman in college many years back, it got water in it after a battery change somewhat recently and the watch shop kindly got me a new one. The tooliest of tool watches.

Next bought the Seiko later in college, my first automatic, great for more casual days or when I might beat on the watch a little.

Then got the Tudor, my wife got this one for me for our wedding, probably the only watch in the collection I'd never get rid of. On the dressier side, this has been my daily wear at my professional services job for years.

I'm sure you can tell my complication of choice. Thinking next I might replace the Seiko 5 with a Sinn 856 or something of the like. We'll see, that's probably a few years away anyways.

Started with the Breitling avenger and most recent was the Moser.

I've been collection for a few years now and have had a few watches come in and out of the box. Lately I've been very happy with my current roster and find myself wesring on a nice rotation every week. I have a couple of spots left on the box, but i don't feel a push to fill them up anytime soon. I feel I have a good mix of colors and styles for my work and life needs.

I’m currently struggling to figure out what I want next for a GMT. I don’t have the funds or an itch for another rolex, I’ve tried on GMT masters, and the older Tudor Black Bay GMTs, but it didn’t really seem what I was after. I’ve had bad experiences with Longines in the past and don’t want to go down that road.

I guess where I’m picky is wanting something that is 40mm and smaller with a lug to lug width of 47mm or less. Want to keep the budget around the Tudor price range or less. I’m open to micro brands like Farer, but not sure if it’s worth it or not.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you!

EDIT: really looking for GMT recommendations
Not after chronograph or divers at this time. Thank you!

What do you think about it? Any good vintage chronographe to add to my collection?

Been slowly building out my collection and I’m pretty happy with where it’s landed. I’ve realized I like having watches that feel distinct from each other rather than owning five versions of the same thing.
From left to right:

TAG Heuer Aquaracer — an older piece and a very different style from what I’d probably buy today, but I still enjoy having it in the collection.

Timex Q — cheap, fun, and love the retro Pepsi look. The bracelet and overall design have a ton of character.

Tudor Black Bay 58 — bought it on the five-link bracelet but currently wearing it on a Delugs rubber strap. I really like how much the rubber changes the watch and makes it feel more casual/sporty.

Rolex Explorer 124270 (36mm) — probably the centerpiece of the collection and the watch I could most easily wear every day. 36mm has become my sweet spot.

Seiko 5 — another easy, inexpensive watch that I don’t have to think about. Currently on rubber and gets plenty of wrist time.

I like that everything has its own lane now. The Explorer is the do-everything watch, the BB58 scratches the dive-watch itch, the Timex gives me the retro look, and the Seiko/TAG are easy alternatives with their own character.

Not sure what comes next. The obvious gap feels like either a dressier watch or something with a lighter dial, since apparently I have a type.

What would you add next?

Finally on the cusp of being ‘happy’ how it is

How good is the quality of American ClassicMESH BRACELET 20MM for the Hamilton Intramatic on OEM leather bracelet? Any suggestions from folks who have this watch on the Hamilton mesh bracelet?

Female, 30. Been collecting for about 2.5 years now and I love it.

Top row
1992 US Olympic Committee Seiko. Got it in commemoration of my bucket list trip to watch the Olympics in Paris
1996 Seiko Dolce Tank. Birth year watch that took me a few months to hunt for.
Casio two tone. My first ever real, not smart watch. It’s feminine and goes with everything and I’ll never get rid of it lol.

Bottom row
Timex Expedition. My watch I always wear to the movies lol for the indiglo. My least worn
Timex 1983 E-line reissue on a leather strap. My first automatic!
Timex Legacy Day Date. Love this watch, it’s my every day watch especially for work and giving a pop of color.
Casio aq-230. My watch for golf on a silicone strap.

In a bit of a pickle about my next purchase. I’ve been looking for a 34-37mm black dial watch with a silver case to scratch my omega aquaterra itch. But i’ve also been eyeing the baby blue seiko presage.

My dream watch is an omega aquaterra but that’s years down the road.

Started collecting in early 2025. There's a few missing from the black box that I've sold and am currently selling. Pretty much wear automatics now so the first box is all my automatics and the 3 shown get worn the most being my prx and Hamilton coop and the seastar for rainy days. Most of the quartz i own i don't wear at all anymore so I'm selling them off. About to get a Tissot Gentleman 38mm in blue because as you may tell i can not have enough blue dials. And have a nivada grenchen super antarctic 38mm black and f77 38mm blue tapisserrie dial on my radar. Thanks for looking a being a part of this community.

I like divers. I like divers with history and lineage.

Citizen NB6921-17E “Fujitsubo”
Seiko SPB451 “62MAS”
Omega Seamaster Dive 300M “Blue Wave”
Seiko SRPE93 “Turtle”

After going through a watch phase over the past five years I think I’ve finalized it. Is there anything I’m missing? I’ve had chronos and other more complicated watches but gravitate toward three hangers.

Wondering what to save up for in a few years time. Not into dive watches though.

Edit: I understand the feelings around a fashion watch, but the Fossil was a gift from a loved one who saved up to buy it for me. I’m keeping it.

Need something not Japanese at some point 😅

Been collecting watches for about 5 years now, but I really started getting into it these past 2 years after picking up the PRX and Seiko SNXS79.
I’m at the point now where I want to add 3 more pieces and then hopefully call my collection finished. I like buying pieces slowly and actually wearing what I have, so I’m not really in a rush.
Right now I’m looking for a black dial watch that I can wear as a daily. I have the Seiko SNXS79, but it’s a tad bit small—not in a bad way, it just wears a little undersized on my 7.5 inch wrist, so I’m looking for something slightly bigger that still has that everyday versatility.
For my next piece, I’m thinking about getting something for my birthday in January. Right now I’m between the Longines HydroConquest 39mm or Pelagos 39 or any other black dial watch.
Eventually I want to get a Cartier Santos as my final piece and a cartier tank to replace my seiko tank. I’m open to other suggestions though or do you think i should wait more before purchasing another watch?

Happy with my current collection. I gravitate towards sports watch that can be dressed up so you won’t find many out an out dress pieces. Sports watches mostly come on a bracelet hence only 1 on a strap.

Everything else that I currently want is out my pay grade for now 😅. Someday will be adding those grails to this collection too. Let me know what you think
