hello guys, i tried to collect some pieces which i liked. i have 11 pieces atm. 10 in the box and 1 on the wrist (dw-5000-r).
i tried to keep varieties within the box. there are -
* 7 colors (white, black, blue, green, red, salmon, silver)
* 3 metals (steel, bronze, titanium)
* 5 straps (leathers, rubbers, bracelets, natos)
* 6 categories (gmt, diver, dress, field, chrono, integrated sports, beater)
hello guys, i took this shot on my mobile. i put both my oris bcpd oxblood full bronze and omega speedmaster professional on marbled shell cordovan straps with a fading pattern. how do they look?
hello guys, this baltic mr01 salmon is the only micro brand piece in my current watch collection. i really like the textured salmon dial, the breguet numerals, perfect small second hand cutout and the vintage vibe of this piece. it comes with a brown strap but i swapped that with this matching salmon babele leather strap.
hello guys, at last, after 6 years of watch collecting, i have bought my first bronze watch. after steel and titanium, i was looking for a bronze for a long time. but i was confused about the specific model. most bronze watches in the market are divers. but i wanted something different. and i wanted something between 2-3k price range.
previously i had an oris diver65 green. i sold that one bcz it was similar with my bb58. so i felt an inevitable attraction back to the brand and chose this model. but i was skeptical about the size.
48mm lug to lug on my 6.75in wrist. but thank god, as i chose the bronze version, the matte dark bronze (after patina) matches my skin so well that the lugs do not flash to the eyes and the lugs are between my top wrist surface 52mm.
i bought it on a full bronze bracelet and now wearing it on a crazy horse distressed brown leather strap.
hello guys, i always wanted to buy a bronze watch. i like the patina it forms on itself after sometime. and the cool thing is, each watch patina is different, that means every watch is unique! this watch comes with the full bronze bracelet. but i swapped that with some custom straps. i will wear the bracelet later i guess. the red and bronze combo is a match made in heaven!
hello guys, i know watch collection is subjective. that’s why this is only my opinion. nothing to react i guess. finishing on the zulu time is exceptional, on par with the levels of omega. much better than my tudor bb58. the gild numerals give a luxurious look to the watch, much more than it’s price point. looks more expensive than my datejust.

hello guys, these are the two divers in my 10 watch collection. one is a vintage inspired diver, another is a modern tool looking diver i guess. one is a little expensive than the other one. but i love both. and my 62mas white limited edition gets more wrist time than my bb58, it’s insane ikr! but it is, what it is.
hello guys, this baltic mr01 salmon is the only microbrand in my collection. whenever i wear this watch, the dial mesmerizes me every time. the grainy texture, breguet numerals, small second hand on the perfect spot! 🤌😘
hey guys, this is my only omega atm. i love changing straps. how does this nato strap match with the watch? this is a different type of nato as it comes with a milled clasp, not a regular buckle. and there is no extra strap part remaining after the fit which we had to cut or fold. so i finally got to enjoy the casual vibes of the speedy without looking messy.
and please don’t judge me as i also matched my polo t-shirt with the watch and strap (kinda) 😄
hello guys, last week i turned 38. i always wanted to get this exact model and combination, as to me, this is perfect for both dressy and casual occasions. and i wanted it on a super jubilee. bcz it looks more seamless rather than on the new clasp. it was difficult to find one as rolex has discontinued it. i worked and saved for 5 years. now i gifted myself on my 38th. i will cherish this my whole life.
hello guys. i am an middle aged guy who loves watches. my watch collection philosophy is as follows-
hello guys, this is my leather straps collection. i also have some cts fkm rubber and nato straps which i haven’t included here. at this point, i think i am addicted to try new straps lol…
hello guys, i had 3 divers in my collection. i wanted to get rid of one, bcz 3 divers feels a bit aggressive in a 10 watch collection imo.
oris diver65 was very similar looking to bb58 although having a different color (at least dial wise). so i sold it and put my g shock inside the box which was laying around outside.
personally i don’t like flashy pieces and bright colors as i bought many of them before, thinking i would like them and have fun, but eventually i sold them. maybe i am a boring person i guess.
so now, i am uploading two pics of SOTC, before and after. i felt this is what my collection lacked and it would bring more balance.
hello guys, this is the first and only g shock in my watch collection. i dreamt of buying a g shock from my childhood. but i knew that i will only buy one and one only. so, i chose this one as the most faithful reissue of the 1983 OG model. i feel this is the purest form of g shock without all the features like solar, multiband and bluetooth, as it was with the OG and as it should be!
hey guys, i love dive style watches. that’s why i have got 3 divers out of 10 watch collection! so is it excessive?
is my oris redundant to bb58? i thought oris is a skin diver (100M WR) and bb58 blue is a tool diver. while buying, i intentionally avoided the black gild bb58 due it’s vintage inspiration and chose the modern looking blue version.
and i love my white 62mas reinterpretation.
hello guys, i want to buy a red dial watch. but cannot select one according to my sotc. i have some thoughts in my mind-
hello guys, this zulu time is the only longines i have in my collection. i love changing straps. so how does this color matching cts fkm rubber strap fit on my zulu? as for 21 mm lug width, it’s a little hard to source custom straps i guess.
hello guys, this speedy 3861 hesalite is the only omega in my collection. i love changing straps. today i put an ostrich leg skin exotic strap on my speedy. how does this look?
