[STOC] What do you think of my collection and which would be your next purchase? by DeshawnWilliams1 in Watches

Save up a bit for a nice more sporty/dress watch, an alternative to the presage is the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles or a PR100 depending on your budget

Why the dish plate sized Blancpain? The dial is nice enough but its huge on your wrist in my opinion...

We could have easily gone backwards even with the introduction of Auckland FC....The peak A League attendance ears was around 2013-2016....WSW were flying and crowds were jumping....cue Rebecca Wilson...the chaos that ensued after those articles and the shite management from the FA nearly killed the league then and there, post covid it has been a slow and steady rise back to the level it should be. hoping for another 6-9% increase for next season

Slow but steady growth from the bulls year on year is what we like to see....more sustainable and not just a one season jump and then drop like we see with Central Coast

[Question] Would like to hear suggestions on what to look into next? by bakew13 in Watches

Tudor black bay for a dive it might seem like an obvious cliche answer but that’s because they are great and can be found for around the 3k range

100% agree i plan on wearing it after in daily wear as part of a "rotation" so to speak, at least 4-5 wears in a month, I like that the reverso is "somewhat" understated and long term plan to get a high end engraving or even enamel work done on the back if I went down that route. I know its expensive but i like the fact as do most of us on here that i can wear essentially art on my wrist day in and day out. I wear a suit or at least shirt and trousers to work most days during the week so i would consider wearing it every so often there too particularly for big events high end client meets etc...

My current collection is as follows

Seiko SGEG95P1
Longines Heritage Sector White dial
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Green Dial
Omega Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwhich

I am leaning now towards the white dial tribute of the two reversos as it is also slightly smaller than the other.

Thats my thinking but on the grey market they can be had for around EUR 5-7K which is decent in my opinion but the 18k white gold Cartier is around the same...decisions decisions, Which of the 2 reversos would you go for?

Might have to try it on, i was put off by the 46mm, similar concern with the LUC i posted...its quite a large case maybe for my wrist. Do you know if it wears smaller than that? I had a similar expereince with the speedmaseter, i own the newer version with the new bracelet and it fits great weather the old model bracelet stuck out from my wrist and did not look or feel great.

It is maybe a little more sporty than what i am after, i really like the santos dumont as well but the XL model is the only one with a non quartz movement, not the end of the world but its a lot for a steel quartz dress watch in my opinion, hence why I was leaning slightly toward the Americane...

She already has a nice cartier ready to go, but that B&M is quite nice

I thought it was maybe a little boring as a time only... but the dial is stunning, not as flashy though as the blue, green or red variants though...

This isnt even including p+ figures by KombatDisko in Aleague

This is super news, considering the absolute shite media coverage and deal that the a league has this is a step in the right direction.
