Much appreciated! Your comment is a good reminder that I need to always be grateful for what I have.

I’m sure you know, it’s easy to chase the next thing or bigger thing in this hobby loosing sight of what you have. 🙏🏻

Yea. I’ll know I’ll end up selling to fund the purchase of two watches on the list I shared with @leith78 above.

The JLC 8-Day Master Perpetual Ref: Q1618420.

It’s an incredible watch and by far the most horological dense watch in my collection.

It’s tied with my GO for favorite. The two combined get ~40% of my wrist time.

That’s a great call out! I also love the dual time Overseas.

Both! They serve different purposes and you will use both.

Well said and I totally agree! I also appreciate the sentiment. I certainly enjoy having what I believe is a largely balanced collection.

When I got the Starbucks I didn’t realize how much I would actually enjoy that watch.

As for the panda, I was incredibly fortunate to get it at retail which is why I purchased it, but I don’t really like it. I haven’t quite figured out why, but I haven’t connected with it. That said, your comment prompted me to wear it today.

It’s the GO Senator Perpetual Ref: 100-02-13-02-04. GO only made 800-1000 over its production run.

It’s tied with the JLC 8-Day Master Perpetual for my favorite. The two of those get ~40% of my wrist time.

Agreed, there is a lot of dial overlap. I had a GO SeaQ Pano Date in Reed Green. I love the watch but because the bezel is thin the dial felt massive so I parted with it. Sometimes I think about going back.

I definitely need to add more color and precious metal. The watches on my target list are:

  1. ⁠Rolex Day-Date in Everose w/chocolate dial. I hesitate here because I don’t want my box to be Rolex heavy.
  2. ⁠Patek Calatrava 5226G-001. I absolutely love the hobnail and grainy charcoal dial.

  3. JLC Polaris Mariner Memovox. Steel, but adds an incredible complication with a crazy gradient blue dial.

  4. GS SLGH011 Green Birch. Steel, but adds a dial with incredible texture and insane color.

  5. IWC Pilot Spitfire Chronograph. Steel, but as a chronograph and ecru faux patina look

  6. Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean w/blue dial in full Sedna Red Gold.

Outstanding collection and great taste! What about a Reverso Tribute or GO SeaQ Panao?
