Watches - another OCD problem

Nice group there @Cole
I miss my old Bond quartz. It was a stellar grab and go little watch.

The old Bond seamasters are great daily beaters.

I wore mine for almost 20 years streight. Every single day, no matter what I was doing. You see it when you look at that watch, but it gives the watch great character. The only watch in my collection I consider absolutly unsellable, due to the high sentimental value it holds for me.

Just added this little Breitling to my humble collection…

@Cole agree so much. I'm not a chronograph guy at all. I'd take a diver anyday. I picked up a used smp 300 few years ago and been wearing it daily ever since. It gains around a second a day. Thing is a tank. I also rotate in a Tudor black bay.

@Smiladon love the golden Pogue!

@Smiladon very nice adding

@RobeOfTheMagi

Thanks! That was my first “nice” watch. Seems to be an original besides the bracelet. And it runs pretty well for a 49 year-old watch.
I really like it on this green NATO too.

Same for me, all my watches, except two, are typical dive watches and the SMP 300 is the perfect all around watch. Works as a dressy watch as well as a tool- or sportswatch.

I'm eying a Tudor Pelagos FXD next, once everything here cooled down and the budged has recovered.

[Johnnyutah247]

@Cole I've seen a few FXD in person and they're sweet. I'm partial to the GMT version.

[Anesthetist]

I have the OG and love it. Super light, accurate, and has a great reserve

[Smiladon]

That’s crazy, cuz I too am interested in a Pelagos FXD. Seems like an incredibly indestructible watch. And I love nato straps, so… but like you @Cole need to let my budget recover after my last purchase

I have been considering a vintage Tudor sub, but I already have a couple vintage watches, that I just end up babying. And I “need” a good snorkeling watch

[Cole]

Don't get me started with (neo)vintage watches. Somewhere out there is an Omega Seamaster Peter Blake 2254.50 calling my name.

And the vintage Tudor Sub with snowflake hands is a thing of pure beauty.
