Mr_B 2,401 Posted March 22, 2023 Hey guys, I have been pondering a general collection of watches from some of the well known brands… I’ve always just bought whatever I liked without much thought on rotation and occasion. So I’ve banded a few models together with different styles and wondered if you’d change any for something similar in style? And why? just for fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APjumbo 3,031 Posted March 22, 2023 Haven’t had a Starbucks yet because I assume I prefer the Kermit. Prefer the NTTD or ceramic. Prefer explorer over DJ Titanium 177 over SS BB41 is a bit slab sided and the 58 wears really well Bit more sporty but still dressy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leet1983 2,059 Posted March 22, 2023 Black seamaster always looked nicer on the wrist IMO but the blue is iconic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mainly added the sea master as it was blue, as you say, iconic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FudgyDocker 3,496 Posted March 22, 2023 Maybe missing a Pelagos in there? And no Breitlings? I love the Chronomat B01, or an SO Heritage 2 maybe, if there can only be one. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,272 Posted March 22, 2023 That's a really good choice in my opinion, well done. Now that Monday's sorted, let's see your suggestions for Tuesday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC 4,461 Posted March 22, 2023 Just for fun, 4 dive watches, 1 daily beater and a stunning dress watch… what diversity? I’ll have a go: 1 conversation starter, 1 digi, 1 chronograph, 1 dive watch, 1 dress watch, 1 daily beater… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribefan 6,768 Posted March 22, 2023 The BB58 is probably my favorite all time rep. 7 inch wrist here. I had the 3714 and sold it keeping my 5001/7 with rose gold numerals. I thought it was a lot nicer watch. YMMV I sold all my Omega SMP's, I like the Noob PO 1948 better. I went with the smurf and the Wimbledon, so you have both of those covered. Grape OP is really nice too. I like but don't have the blue JLC Polaris, that is a good combo dress / jeans watch. If you like perpetuals, the VC 56 is the best IMO. Perfect size, very comfortable and the shape looks really great on the wrist. Definite exterior tell on those though, if that is important. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,758 Posted March 22, 2023 At this point, I've pretty much tried every style of rep that appeals to me. I've frankened a few but now moving closer to the gen world instead. I don't think I'll ever sell my franken 126610LV, and I have a frankened 16803 that I absolutely love. Been thinking about selling that and one of my other gens to fund a 16613 in the future. I like the quirkiness of some Franck Muller watches, but it comes and goes. The thing I find myself coming back to is the reason I (along with 90% of people) get into rep watches and that's Rolex. Call me boring. Right now, out of the watches I have, I think my ideal would be Seawolf II The baseball strapped fiddy homage (I've worn this watch to a world series and my son and I both really like it) 16750 126610LV PanomaticLunar FM Vanguard Some two tone 116503 Daytona, I have a second one being built by MR right now, maybe both? Maybe the 16600? add in a 16613 and I think I'd be happy. For now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
