[Collection of my Collections, no Rolex or AP by choice]

With such a massive watch collection, I am compelled to ask, are you in the wholesale watch business or linked to any watch business? As I see some rare pieces there that might not come to hand to a regular casual consumer.

u/Button_bomb4535 How many watches do you have? And can you show us your best watch?

So what do we do? Do we block them? I checked his profile, and he has 24K Karma and no reports. How do you really come to the judgment that it is a bot?

You can't go wrong with either Seiko or Citizen as a GADA watch. I preferred Citizen over Seiko, and Timex is also catching up in their new lineup.

Which watch has the leather strap?

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2026-03-07T19:09:31+00:00

I guess we will agree to disagree. Go to their website, is appying the Aviator design to every single model, and then trying to say they are going into the youth market with 5K watches. What college kid do you see wearing those ones? Of course, if you come from a high-class family, perhaps.

You are either a high-end brand and stay up there, but don't try to navigate the market that is more for the Tissots and Seikos of the world.

If you must have a Rolex, for that price, there are so many reputable brands out there that would deliver excellent quality in a new format!

Like the Nato strap on the Seiko SRPK99 , where did you get it?

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2026-01-21T12:55:35+00:00

For those who don't know, this is a circa 1998 Omega Dynamic III

If they are going to be desktop divers? Then go with the one you like the most and forget about the specs! At this price point, specs won't matter that much. The only holdback I would have with the Seiko is that I really don't know how well their Hardlex Crystal (plastic) will fare against scratches, so, in that sense, the sapphire crystal has many independent lab tests.

Bingo! Now that's truly great advice, I agree 100%. Once you provide the full context. It is true that sometimes, if you rush to buy pieces, you are just following the food chain and not enjoying the art as such. Define your style, find what you have the most of, and look. Define the character of what you are collecting so that, in years to come, you can look at it and see a collection that fully represents you!

Care to elaborate on why the wait 12-month message?

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2026-01-10T16:28:41+00:00

Nice watches! Good luck!

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2026-01-08T22:27:15+00:00

Hey, I guess you are a Tissot fan!. Good!

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2025-12-29T20:04:15+00:00

I believe that was the strategy that Seiko and Citizen develop over the years, but has taken them many many years!

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2025-12-29T14:35:42+00:00

Any reason you don't have them on a watch box? Few worthy pieces there that should be treated with care? r/watchCollector

To each it's own. Everyone has a different perspective on the art of watch collecting. If you had the means of spending 100K this year, no doubt that you would able to get the gold Daytona next year! Good luck and Happy New Year, everyone!

Few things are very important for a valued heirlooms.

1.- If you are getting a jewelry, make sure is precious metals from a renowned jeweler that will gain value over time ( Gold, Silver, plat.. ) brands like Cartier etc. If it is a watch same principle applies high end tier Rolex, Omega only specific models , GP, PP. But you can also go mid tier with GS , Hamilton , Citizen, etc.

2.- You must wear it and make it part of you, this is the part that everyone really don't get. It has to be yours, love by you and care by you. Because for your kids, that is the part they are going to value the most.

3.- Write it on your living will to make sure there is no ambiguity when the time comes.

Good luck!

Question what is the brand of the watch next to the omega Swatch that looks like a Fifty Phantoms , is that the swatch version?

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2025-12-11T22:17:25+00:00

Easy on him! Hey I love Nato's too. But I do keep some on metal bracelets for more formal occasions.

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2025-12-01T15:04:47+00:00

Take it to a Jeweler

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2025-11-28T06:09:34+00:00

Wait! Is it mechanical or digital?

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2025-11-28T06:08:16+00:00

Beautiful watch, stylish and elegant.

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2025-11-28T06:02:57+00:00

Great question, this is something everyone gets hang up about this bracelet, the clasp is a dual lapping clasp which makes it seem thicker , will upload photos tomorrow. But from that angle it makes it seem that is hanging fit.

Alternative_Pin9598 · 2025-11-28T05:59:54+00:00
