Started collecting 8 years ago (my first mechanical watch, the Longines Legend Diver is currently being serviced).
Since then, I went on a nomos kick (too many Nomos), bought another throw-back diver (Doxa Sub300 50th anniversary), inherited my Grandfather’s Rolex Daydate, and most recently picked up the Chopard Alpine Eagle.
The collection is becoming unruly…. If I had to part with one it would be the Tangente (just haven’t bonded with it), but I should probably get rid of a Club or two as well…. But I love each of them differently. I don’t find myself wearing the Doxa much either except when going to the beach.
What are your thoughts on the collection? What does the collection say about me? Any advice on pairing the collection down? I’ve never sold a watch that I’ve purchased…. Have a hard time parting with them.
great collection but you're in too deep on Nomos. the far left and the far right are the ones to keep; the two clubs in the middle are redundant.
the Alpine Eagle and the DayDate are brilliant.
