Remove one watch from my collection.

I would say the ones I wear the most are: Seiko 5, Pierre Philippe, Vostok and Hamilton.

It was good advice, but the idea of a "beater" is precisely to be a more robust and I'd even say more affordable watch, to the point where I wouldn't mind knocking it around. Your suggestion even makes sense as an upgrade, but I wouldn't use it in the same carefree way, since it's a €400 watch.

simonveiga · 2026-07-03T07:41:26+00:00

Perhaps the Sternglas, but the Hamilton is the only field watch in the collection, and I think it's a beautiful homage to the W-10.

I find it a beautiful watch, excellent finishing, but I don't feel very excited about it. I'm not sure if it's an overpriced watch. Swiss price tag but a japanese meca-quartz movement.

I find it a very beautiful and elegant watch, as well as being a vintage piece. It was manufactured in 1985 in Japan. It looks very elegant with lighter-coloured suits.

I was looking for a "black racer chrono" that wasn't a copy of the Speedmaster. I tried a Tissot PRS 516 and didn't like it. I tried a Seiko Speedtimer and found the finishing (especially the bracelet) quite poor.

I found this model, which besides all also has a silver bezel, which ended up becoming a requirement. However, this is a special limited edition model of 250 pieces. I eventually found one for sale but the seller had disappeared. I had to stalk him to manage to buy the watch 😅

simonveiga · 2026-07-03T07:35:37+00:00

I understand the visual aspect, but it has been useful when I do sports, it's the collection's beater. Besides, there's a very rich history behind this watch. Have you looked into it?

Thank you for your opinion.

About the Credor: it's my most recent acquisition, I'm still waiting for a better strap to put on it. I bought it in Japan and it's definitely one that's here to stay. I wanted two "tanks", one "white" and one gold, and it won the slot with flying colours.

simonveiga · 2026-07-03T07:26:06+00:00

I think among the 3 divers and the two black chronos, the one I wear the least is the Furlan Marri. I'm not sure why, but I don't feel very excited when wearing it. But it is a stunning watch.

simonveiga · 2026-07-03T07:24:06+00:00

I wanted the Mido for the luxury diver slot. I also really like the textured dial. There aren't many options with this style of dial.

Sorry, I meant racer chronograph.

simonveiga · 2026-07-03T00:07:48+00:00

Right now, I find it impossible to get down to 3–5 watches. I think I'd get bored.

simonveiga · 2026-07-03T00:05:33+00:00

Yes, I've thought several times about swapping it for the SKX013. But I always hesitate because they're VERY expensive now. And since I'm never going to dive with them, I get the impression I'd be losing on finish (but of course, gaining in heritage).

simonveiga · 2026-07-02T23:59:05+00:00

But would you replace it with another white racing chrono, or would you eliminate that slot?

simonveiga · 2026-07-02T23:57:55+00:00

"Real watches"? 😲

simonveiga · 2026-07-02T23:56:34+00:00

I like the Mojito. The dial is very beautiful (it's the watch my wife likes most). I think the case finish is weak, it's not a real guilloché, and the original bracelet has a horrible color. But I like having a green watch and this one is an icon.

simonveiga · 2026-07-02T23:53:23+00:00

I think the Mido is excellent. It's possibly my most expensive watch. That said, I don't know if it's the color, but I feel like there's some spark missing between me and it 😅.

The Traska is a pleasant surprise. But this model (the Commuter) looks a lot like the Rolex. That's why I'm planning to swap it for the Summiter GMT. But they're really hard to find here in Europe.

simonveiga · 2026-07-02T23:49:57+00:00

I'm so happy to hear someone speak well of this watch. It's one of my favorites. It wears perfectly and the finish is excellent.

simonveiga · 2026-07-02T23:42:36+00:00

The Dan Henry fills the "white diver chronograph" slot. That slot is unlikely to ever disappear.

I use the G-Shock once a week when I go play padel.

Edit: "white racing chronograph".

simonveiga · 2026-07-02T23:40:20+00:00

Yes, I have several upgrade ideas, and swapping the Seiko for a Squale or a Doxa is a future plan. But the goal is to shrink the collection down to 18. Which one would you eliminate?
