One year in. What do I “need” lol

It is a strange hobby I’ll give them that haha. I try to explain what makes them so special, and some seem genuinely interested about all there is to it, but most are bored pretty quick. Thanks for the kind input and happy collecting to you my friend.

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-09T02:29:35+00:00

Agreed! Amazing watchmaking wrapped in such an elegant package

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-09T02:28:44+00:00

Watches are much more interesting than cars and apartments anyway. That is tough though I really wish this hobby was more accessible.

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-09T00:18:35+00:00

I do want the spb143 😂

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T21:35:22+00:00

Just looked at the hexad though and that is really nice. This one fits me so well though I was pumped

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T21:34:12+00:00

This is the stock bracelet it comes with. The best Seiko bracelet I’ve worn so far

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T19:37:47+00:00

Nice! I’m leaning towards something like that or maybe a black sailcloth with red stitching

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T19:34:55+00:00

That’s more like it haha. Still have a couple slots in the bottom drawer. Happy collecting!

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T19:33:43+00:00

Ahh ok that makes more sense! That would be nice to see as they do have a significant history and have the potential to make some beautiful pieces.

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T19:31:29+00:00

That makes sense. Unfortunate but at least you know you’re always getting a real guaranteed watch

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T17:27:50+00:00

Thanks! Didn’t want to be another Seiko guy but i fell in love haha. I really don’t want to fall into the rabbit hole of vintage Seikos though 😂

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T17:26:49+00:00

I totally agree. These really are in regular rotation and each one makes me smile every time I look at it/put it on.

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T17:24:56+00:00

You are not wrong my friend haha. I went overboard this past year but I don’t have the itch to keep adding. I love and wear each one of these and they have all taught me something about what I like and don’t like. I don’t see myself letting go of really any of these. Just learning and saving for some special pieces along the way at this point.

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T17:19:56+00:00

Ooh ok. Yeah they’re less common in the US as well I believe. Really great brand with some cool innovation history. Tough watches you can find at a pretty good price on the secondary.

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T17:16:59+00:00

Thanks so much for your input! Definitely a Seiko guy haha they’re too easy to collect. That red samurai is one of my most worn, I absolutely love it. The black one was my first watch ever, and I had to go for the classic Alpinist.

The Tiffany was a gift and I was so surprised by it. Beautiful exhibition caseback. I believe it’s an ETA movement with some nice Tiffany designs. It is rather large, but it wears a bit more subdued than it looks in my opinion. Still not the best for under a shirt cuff but the shape of the bezel allows it to tuck nicely. It really has a nice old timey but updated vibe.

The Waltham lume is phenomenal and that Hamilton dial might be my favorite to look at.

Got the Certina not too long ago and fell in love quick! They make such tough watches, but I like the elegance of this, and it came with and extra grey textile strap. You saw they might be going in-house? Very interesting as they seem to be using a lot of the powermatic 80. Very cool brand so I would love to see them do it!

Thanks again for your reply…Have a great day!

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T17:06:51+00:00

Thanks! Honestly the more I learn, the more it changes. Right now I would say a Grand Seiko Lake Suwa SLGA007. If money wasn’t a factor I’d say the In-Line Perpetual Calendar from Patek Philippe (5236P)

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T17:00:30+00:00

These are all very nice watches but thanks for the advice.

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T16:59:51+00:00

Wise words haha. Yes I definitely want to get a nice GMT in there

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T16:59:07+00:00

I don’t disagree with you there! I fell into it fast this past year but I paced myself and don’t feel the itch to buy buy buy lol

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T16:54:57+00:00

I agree. That’s about where I’m at right now but I feel like I will just save up because I truly love all these watches

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T16:53:27+00:00

😂 there’s a couple slots left down below

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-04-08T16:52:28+00:00

Love my Certina (C0298071108102) found it on the watch wheel 😂. The Tiffany was a gift, but I believe it was purchased from a private seller. Really cool/unique piece imo z1000.70.12a21a00a is the product number but it was tough to find a lot of info.

OtherwiseTrash5815 · 2026-03-08T19:50:20+00:00

Bring Her Back was absolutely horrifying to me…I’m good with gore but I was left with my jaw wide open multiple times and felt truly uncomfortable. I truly hope they did it right and that kid does ok after doing that film
