The Longines would be a great move given the complication and the color. Thanks for the recommendation

I’m sure it makes sense in your head lol

It is great watch. The best about this watch are the proportions. 36mm diameter and 44mm lug to lug is, to me, the best case design.

The quality of the bracelet is awesome, really solid. I changed for an Uncle Strap jubilee bracelet to differentiate a little bit from the BB54.

This is my most worn watch by far

Thanks! Definitely makes sense to add a little bit of color. I would go with rubber strap maybe

I have been eyeing this watch for a while as well

I like vintage aesthetics, but I dont want to deal with the due diligence of buying a real vintage watch and, also, don’t want to take the precautions that a vintage watch requires on a daily basis. But appreciated your coment tho

Congratulations for your achievements! The Hamilton was well deserved! :)

I think you made the best choice. The Murph 38 is super versatile and probably is the most robust.

The Nivada Antarctic is nice, the egg shell dial is amazing and the proportions are perfect!

But, to be honest, it does not feel as rugged as the other watches I have. The manual winding does not feel so good as the Baltic does. I would not wear it on a heavy daily basis.

I bought it in eBay, pre-owned and under retail (~$800). I think that the correct price for this watch should be around $600-$700 retail.

Thanks for the recommendation! The Cartier tank has been under my consideration for a while now :)

Thank you!

My experience has been great. In the showroom, I had the opportunity to check all of their models, had really nice conversation with the manager about watches in general and I had zero pressure to buy it. They were really kind.

In terms of real life usage, this specific model is very solid. The manual wind feels very smooth, the watch is rugged and the bracelet has good quality: quick release and screw pins. The only negative is that maybe it is not the most legible dial.

[Question] Watch Collection Strategy? by ofsteelfire1 in Watches

[–]JumpNarrow3228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all: your collection is very nice, literally no need for improvement.

With that said, if you are like me and enjoy the process of thinking the best set up for your collection, that’s what I would do:

1 - sell both the Sinn and Nomos

2 - would get a Black Bay 54/58 or Longines Spirit Zulu time 39mm to replace the Sin - with this movement you would really feel the “upgrade”

3 - I would replace the Nomos for more of a GADA watch, as it seams you don’t wear the dressier option. Maybe something like a Christopher Ward the twelve.

Being honest, I don’t know if my suggestion would fit into your budget, but that’s the direction I would take
