I just started a new role in London near covent garden and, was very excited (the nerdy bit) to see I am very close to an Omega showroom. I kind of wanted to walk around and enjoy the experience but,

1. Is that ok to do? I just want to take a look today, not actually buy anything. And

2. I wore my vintage blue geneve today. Is that TOO nerdy to wear nonchalantly?

Haha. I am probably overthinking this heh.

Love this watch. So much history, so much fun, now I have it on a curved end rubber strap, I think it looks so good (the rather chunky bracelet it came with just isn't my style at all!)

It's an age old question. For some watches, it just seems natural to keep on a bracelet and for others, a leather or ever rubber strap just feels right.

For my vintage Omega Geneve... I just don't know which is better for the 'default' look. I think the strap but, what would you pick?

So, I started collecting just recently and was so pleased to (finally) fill my 8 watch box after LOT'S of admittedly fun trial and error.

And, as I researched and built my collection, TikTok and other social media algorithms POUNCED on me with various influencers telling me how affordable = a Tudor Black Bay, Rolex and Omega Sea/SpeedMaster... every.darn.time.

I got sick of it (and every recommendation being identical), and so I set out to build an affordable collection of watches that I really liked, that were a mix of styles, and a mix of vintage and modern.

I think it's a pretty good set. I like it a lot and, I hope you do too!

Hi. I started collecting last year and have set out to try and build something that is fun, interesting and fits my life as a dad, office worker and person who likes to travel in different cities.

It's a mix of vintage and more modern and, Im really happy with it (I think!). This weekend I finished the set with two watches I have wanted for some time. The Longines Evidenza andthe new love of my life, this 1972 Omega Geneve Automatic. It has a aftermarket leather strap but, I impulse-bought a vintage omega bracelet too to just see how it would look. I can't help myself!

So, I started collecting last year and obviously am now hopelessly scrolling eBay, Vinted and online sale and watch-news sites CoNsTaNtLy. Haha

Today, I got the Longines Evidenza (I wanted this watch from pretty much day one) in the mail and... I 'think' I am now very happy with my collection. It's a good mix of styles, colours and modern Vs vintage... I am particularly in love with the citizen 'monaco" flyback. It's PERFECT!
