I'm visiting my AD in the next couple of days and thinking of picking up the Tudor Ranger in the dune colour at 39mm. The idea is it would become my daily driver as I've recently cleared out a few watches that I wasn't wearing so much (Christopher Ward, Lorier, Oris etc).

I have a black Aqua Terra so don't want another black dial 3 hand watch hence the dune colour which also matches more with go to clothing colours.

Anyway, I haven't seen or tried it yet. If you've seen/had it, what do you think? Still love it since you bought it? Anything in particular to look out for or be mindful of (e.g. clasp)?

Soon I’ll receive a Rolex Batgirl and my watch collection is steadily growing with a couple more allocations planned for next year.

That all being said I’ve always said I don’t want to end up with a collection where many watches are unworn. I’m thinking of letting go of my black lacquer Aqua Terra.

My wife thinks I’ll regret it because it’s my default work meeting watch/go to London watch.

I’m now in two minds.

Have you ever regretted getting rid of a watch from your collection and why?

It’s been a year since I’ve added anything new to the collection. Not the best photo I know but here’s where I’m at with my collection.

It’s quite a range from microbrands to mainstream. Lorier, Brew, Oris and Christopher Ward through to Grand Seiko, Omega and Rolex.

What comes next? Any microbrand that really catches my eye. Also Rolex Batgirl by the end of the year and, possibly, AP Starwheel in rose gold next year though I’m researching hard when it comes to statement pieces with complications (JLC Master Control Chronometre perpetual calendar I see you).
