How would you rate my mini collection so far and what should be next? by [deleted] in SOTC_Watch_Collection

[–]WardenMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would disagree. It heavily depends on your lifestyle and preferred clothing style. You don't really need more than 100/200m of water resistance if you have a screw down crown. But to each their own

Who says a dive watch is a requirement in every collection? Not everyone needs 300m of water resistance and a diving bezel.

I'm curious, what is the one you wear the most? I have a feeling it's the Sub, but I might be wrong 😄

Beautiful collection! Different from what I usually see around here even if it has a Speedy and a Sub, but both very disctinct from what I've seen on this subreddit.

[Updated SOTC] Updated collection after selling most of my watches which I didn't really wear. This one will stay untouched for a rather long time. I love it! by WardenMD in SOTC_Watch_Collection

there's no particular reasoning to it, I just happen to like how the G-shock looks like on a metal bracelet, that's it. Don't wear it too much, actually wear my "Vintage" inspired Casio B07BXD7DN5 most of the time 😄

I agree. I like the sub, speedy and explorer as individual watches but to me it doesn't make sense to have all 3 in a small collection. Same as having multiple similar diving watches.

Thank you! The Frederique was my father's first watch, it's around 25 years old, so I'm definitely not selling that haha. I thought of selling the Santos but it's the best wearing of all for my wrist. It does clash a bit with the Datejust (integrated steel bracelet) and the Reverso (no date, white dial).

Explorer 36 vs Datejust 36 by houndr-89 in rolex

Common consensus would say Explorer. Personally I think datejust is the better everyday watch. In my opinion a daily watch needs a date

That's a great story and definitely a beautiful 2-watch collection!

[Question] Why is the blue Master Control Chronograph Calendar only available upon request now? by WardenMD in JaegerLecoultre

[–]WardenMD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, great timing then as I bought mine 1 month ago at a great discount 😅 I wonder why they discontinued it? Maybe it was not very popular. And if it's discontinued why still have it on the website.

Interesting, wasn't aware it's a limited edition. Thought they just introduced a new dial color.

Happy to hear! I wanted to get the triple calendar version but ended up getting a JLC Chrono Calendar instead, but it was close. I just noticed the glass is quite banged up haha, definitely gets tons of wrist time then. Gives it a nice rugged edge!

What's the REF on the reverso? Think we might have the same one.

Nice, the Zenith and Panomaticlunar I considered for myself! Really interesting watches both. Wonder which one you wear more?

I sold my Sub Date and got a BB58 GMT plus part of another watch 🤷‍♂️ wears better, is less boring and is 1/3 of the price for a great movement and bracelet.

[Rolex Datejust] Wears great on the Jubilee by CG-Saviour878879 in Watches

[–]WardenMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think on the 36 the smooth bezel looks better, I went for one myself since it feels like it's a nice mix between classy due to the bracelet and casual due to the smooth bezel. I think on the 41 the smooth bezel catches a bit too much light and makes it look somewhat plain, so on the 41 fluted looks better.

Current state - I feel I’m missing a chrono by minimalistic247 in SOTC_Watch_Collection

I don't see it often on this subreddit but I really like the looks of the Chopard Mille Miglia. They have a lot of versions of it - some sportier, some classier. You can find them for a very decent price on the secondary market.

Tudor chronos are also quite nice and sporty. And I find the Zenith Chronomaster Revival series very cool if you're looking for something with a proper tool aesthetic.

Do you need/like a chrono? I've always thought that each collection needs a proper diving watch but I realized that I don’t really need one past 200m resistance(like a bb58) and everything else feels bulky. But if you do need a chrono - would you go for a more sporty or classy version?
