    All of these are mechanical watches but only 3 have a Swiss movements. Of those three, only one is a Swiss brand and the other two are German. So do I have one nice watch or three? Or zero is also an option...FML.

    Regardless, the entire collection retails for less than one Rolex.


    So, you said you were saving for a Rolex one day. Which will it be?
    I’m not saving for a Rolex; that was hyperbole. When it’s time for a high end watch it’ll be either a Grand Seiko, Omega, or a Damasko; depends on my tastes and the styles of the season.

    Thots in no particular order...do not sleep on ze Germans. Glashutte is the second Geneva in Haute Horology circles. Ball has a ton of fans! I like a good deal of your straps. That's the hot thing now is to throw on vintage looking leather straps or NATO. I have not done that, because I think anything that isn't an Explorer on NATO in the Rolex line looks stupid. I did purchase a really nice modern looking leather strap, from of all places Germany, for my Explorer II Polar, but have not put it on yet. I am such a bracelet slut. What's the watch in the upper right hand? I like the dial. Very cool.

    The watch in the upper right hand is a 40mm Stowa type-B, hand wound, no date; found here: https://www.stowa.de/en/Flieger+Classic+40+Baumuster+B.htm

    The strap is a leather faux-ammo strap I had made by Nero Straps.



    Lots of calluses on those palms.

    I’m not saving for a Rolex; that was hyperbole. When it’s time for a high end watch it’ll be either a Grand Seiko, Omega, or a Damasko; depends on my tastes and the styles of the season.
    GS are amazing watches, and I have owned and sold a BUNCH of Omegas over the years. Still wish I had held onto my Railmaster. Sweet watch.
