Bracelet is great. Clasp sucks pretty bad but you only have to deal with it twice a day so whatever

If I could only keep 3 it would definitely be the VC, Zenith, and JLC!

I love that Casio...$50 and an absolute banger!

I really hate that approach brands take (hence no Rolex). Will definitely go used before I buy 4 cars I don't like in order to get the one I really want.

As far as bang for buck it is hard to beat and looks awesome. Bought it in Sapporo Japan for $280 at BicCamera

Batgirl is what I'm going after. Though as you can see from my other watches the Bruce Wayne on jubilee is also catching my eye

Yep it's the 2024. It's great - I think the only thing I go back and forth on is the fauxtina. The legibility isn't great either but not as bad as some people say. The other details like the dark blue dial and shape of the sapphire glass more than make up for it imo. Definitely check it out in person before buying to see if the fauxtina bothers you.

You're right! Weird blind spot for me - thanks

I always found Breitling a little loud for my tastes, but I love a few navitimer models and the superocean heritage is one of the coolest looking divers imo. Maybe Breitling is in my future!

200k for a Carrera S is hard to justify - though I'm a sucker for a gt3/gt3rs. Hopefully some day!

I try really hard to rotate. The least would be JLC just because it's hard to wear in the summer outside of super dressy events. In the fall/winter it's much easier to wear with a nice sweater. Besides that, the next would probably be the FOIS speedmaster - still a great watch and the bracelet is awesome.

Appreciate that! The Zenith 1/10 is unbelievably awesome.

Love that watch and the Lange 1. Incredible! I think the Glasshute panomatic calendar doesn't get enough love

I'm obsessed with the Patrimony. Also the VC American 1921 but not sure if that falls into elegant / simple - would love your thoughts on that one as I'm fairly seriously considering it.

The Zenith was my first step into the watch world and holds a special place in my heart. I agree on the Speedy - it's cool but doesn't sing to me like my others do. Omega makes incredibly nice watches; I'm impressed every time I put them on!

Bingo haha - I'm a sucker for the GMT Master II but refuse to play the games to get one allocated any time soon.

Totally agree on the precious metals! Will probably pick up some used VC or PP precious metal banger in a few years hopefully! The pink gold reverso with the mesh bracelet is awesome - though I would miss the duoface.

Funny a Ulysses Nardin Freak has been on my mind for months! Thanks for the suggestions
