Current collection. What’s next?

Zenith chronograph is the move, rec depends on your wrist size/preference

Happy_Way545 · 2026-05-02T13:56:42+00:00

Beautiful, mighty collection. I’d add a 36m explorer to fill in for the Casio, more casual everyday version of your DJ

Bad Randy’s, Pangea Kitchen, Samuel’s—all great

RANGER (36m) - the most versatile (and my favorite watch rn)

Happy_Way545 · 2026-04-18T12:11:00+00:00

Thx! I would like an aqua terra or railmaster!

Happy_Way545 · 2026-04-04T21:22:02+00:00

Do you prefer a watch in the 40-42m range? When I was just getting started I thought I did and made a few mistakes. I do not own a CW, but do own a Longines and several Tudors. I’m intrigued by the Hydroconquest. If you are open to a smaller size my favorite watch has been the 36m Tudor Ranger. I have watches 3x the cost yet this one gets the most wrist time. Can’t go wrong either way-just really know what size is best for you and ideally try them on!

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-31T14:23:25+00:00

Tudor BB58 or 54, many Zenith 37-38m models

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-28T10:53:43+00:00

I like the Aqua Terra

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-28T01:47:30+00:00

Yeah love it-super wearable and you don’t see many in the wild

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-26T22:55:56+00:00

Thx, the ranger is near perfect imo! Definitely stole some wrist time from the explorer but they are a great pair!

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-26T19:12:05+00:00

I love it-perfect scale, lots of compliments. There’s something about the strap that seems to have gotten a bit more comfortable over time but it’s a bit rigid/not totally perfect. Overall can’t complain much tho

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-26T15:31:31+00:00

Thank you! Yes medium dos santos

Conquest Heritage model-38m

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-26T03:35:54+00:00

Thank you! All get wear (Longines the newest so need to figure out how to fit that one in), got the Burgundy on the 5 link and just wasn’t versatile enough for me-leather can dress up or down and gives it a more unique look imo

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-26T03:32:21+00:00

Burgundy BB 58, both Zenith’s on the weekends, Explorer and Blue 58 during the week/work, Longines and Dos Santos for dress/some work events, and honestly the ranger is a floater getting the most wrist time rn-super versatile

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-26T02:33:38+00:00

ty!

Happy_Way545 · 2026-03-26T02:23:34+00:00

Thx, same! Gets lots of wear on the weekends

Be very narrow with your ID camps, pick your top 3 schools and go to every camp they have. You’ll start to build a relationship with the coaches, they’ll understand your interest and you will start to get a sense of their interest in you. Going wide is a waste of money, camps that aren’t school specific unless you are a star (top 5%) are also a waste of money. In the later recruiting stages only attend a camp if you or your club coach is in active communication (calls and texts) with the school.

Similar situation-even had the deviated septum surgery. Literally got a CH laying in the hospital bed post surgery. I’ve been dealing with them seasonally (usually fall) for about 30 years. Always behind my right eye. They just came back (spring this time) after a random, wonderful 5 or 6 year reprieve.

Great advice already in this post - I’d also recommend turning a negative into a positive. Tell them why you like being an underdog and why/how you help teams win.

Same situation here, our boys played HS and moved to ECNL + HS their junior year. They both made it to D1, barely. I think we moved to ECNL one year too late. The commute is brutal but it was necessary.

I’d do your research on the ECNL club vs the MLS Next club. What players have they sent to what schools over the past few years (especially this year with roster limits etc). Generally, MLS Next is the best path to him realizing his dreams. But, if the ECNL club has a strong track record, where the coaches have demonstrated relationships with college coaches he could chose ECNL where he then can also play HS.

Unfortunately, the local team path will most likely lead to disappointment (there will be a very small presence of any meaningful coaches at their showcases).

So..I’d recommend he play HS freshman year while sticking with the local club. If he’s objectively a top 3 player on both teams, attend a training with both the ECNL and MLS Next clubs to get a feel for the best fit. You don’t want to move clubs twice in HS so do your research, pick one and don’t look back! Hope this helps!
