I’ve had many watches over the years. Sometimes I’ve had a watch more than once (Tudor Pelagos). I’ve mostly settled on these three. I have a few others that are in the mix but they will always probably make their way to a new owner in time. Really getting rid of the others offers me a way to experiment with something new. The Globemaster is as dressy as I really need. The JLC is the only chronograph I’ve kept longer than a year. The Blancpain was a gift to myself when I decided I was done with my dead end job.

Don't forget home base.

Nice collection! I wish they made the bracelet on the 38mm Blancpain.

I have a blue globemaster and absolutely love it. It’s my only luxury watch at the moment - so it’s both my everyday and dressy. Never seen a white one irl - always felt it was a little too basic and bland, but something tells me you’ll disagree.

Do you see the white globemaster as both a dressy and an everyday watch ? Any other thoughts ?

Amazing collection and highly unique.

Nice, but different collection! However in the core three I would expect one dressier watch with leather strap.

A nice brown or tan strap on the Omega is as dressy as most need.

[–] penultimatewatch@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I have a bunch of leather straps for the Omega. Now that colder weather is back I can switch to those.

How is this bracelet? It is different from the one in the OP but looks nicer in my opinion.

[–] penultimatewatch@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Agreed and love the bracelet yours is on.

You still miss a square gshock but nice collection nonetheless

[–] penultimatewatch@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

True. I have a Casioak I wear at the gym that I could replace with a square one. I had an all metal square one for a while but didn’t care for the bracelet.

Solid three watch collection.

I have the same Polaris and recently ordered a brown leather rally strap. I have a few chronos on bracelets and figure the blue dial with a honey vintage leather rally strap might make it pop even more on those sunny car show days.

[–] penultimatewatch@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks. I need to find some good 21mm straps for it. I have one that kind of works but is a little short for my hulk wrist.

Very nice and much more interesting than the obvious alternative: Submariner, Speedmaster and Datejust.
