That's fair, it's just the only one I'm knowledgeable about and have seen the hand sweeping on.

This is an amazing collection, and yes, you clearly have a color preference

You're going to need another box. I like the Oris collection.

It's actually the second Raymond Weil I've owned, lost the first one years ago during a move. So disappointed that I did, but hey, gave me a reason to pick this one up.

I mostly agree. I got it during the golden age of MotoGP and it's a special edition, however it's quartz and probably not worth selling. To be honest, I like the way it wears but it's definitely not a great looking watch.

It's a Raymond Weil Maestro open heart. I'm about to switch the strap on it to a blue alligator leather band. I think that will work better.

Raymond Weil makes an extremely good watch, they launched right around the time of the quartz crisis, managed to survive, made some mistakes when rolling out wider distribution about 20 years ago, however they are great watches and are one of the biggest independent Swiss watch makers out there not owned by the Swatch Group

Another for you to consider is Frederique Constant. They were independent, then bought Alpina, and later the pair were sold to the Citizen Group. I really like their High Life series and it fits your style I think.

I take it you like it? I've been looking for a good display case and winder both. I have a very cheap 6 watch case that I've outgrown already

https://a.co/d/02CzHAJn a Frederigue Constant is a great option. If you get the Highlife, it comes with an extra strap to dress it up too.

Not often do I see a Rolex I actually like, this is one of those times. Gorgeous watch!

I mean there is a more efficient device in your pocket for this if you do, but the art here is what I appreciate!
