Great thread! Before I read all 7000 posts I would like to share my little collection. Nothing fancy. I was once saving up for a Speedy but did not see the point in the end... Maybe one day.

Seiko Willard for the win. I like that colorway, but would be dead if I buy another Willard anytime soon.

@Cole yeah!! It is my favourite watch for sure. But the movement had to be replaced already. I was lucky that I still had warranty.

Went from Forerunner 965 to Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar, mostly because I needed the battery life for ultramarathons.
Thought it would be hard to go back to Mips screen after Amoled but actually feeling like I prefer this. It's big but comfortable on, and so far I'm enjoying it. Broke it in with a weekend of muddy back to back trail runs totalling 50k.

@Nik bloody hell, you could eat your dinner off that!

Seiko SNE573

My Brown metal Casioak, great watch for £100!

This 1960s Enicar Sherpa Date is a watch I do not wear too often anymore but I still love the beautiful simple and reduced design.

This watch is probably quite well known - a Seiko SKX009 with the modest but persistent 7S26 movement. I think it's hard to argue with the design and build quality of the former 200$ watch.

@RobeOfTheMagi classic!

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Good old times when they could be had for 150-200$ new :).

@Matt that's a cool one

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Indeed!

I'd love to have a Seiko Pogue (6139-6002) but these watches are a minefield nowadays.

I decided to wear my Swatch from when I was 10 today, despite not not working. I love it too much to have it sitting in a drawer forever.

@Anesthetist i believe you still owe us some pics of your collection…

@Matt only one word to describe that watch….”Bitchin’!!”

[Mizmazzle]

Stand back and be amazed at the artistry!!
