Horological Meandering

A sudden change in my watch preference...

 

even since I purchased my first nice watch 2000 and the 8 years followed, my watches had always been heavy if not big in size. But something has changed in me to the point that I have sold my JLC Squadra (a very nice watch but I hardly wear it anymore, and is now in a nice home which I know it would be well taken care of) for a DateJust; and I have been wearing it for 2 weeks straight, If you have asked me 6 months ago, the chance of seeing a DateJust on my wrist would be rather remote. Does this sudden change in preference ever happen to any of you?




Gone is the JLC but the Panerai will stay, just in case I need to attend one of those famous GTG : ) By the way, this is the first nice watch I bought for myself back in 2000.



The GMT and the SD have been inside the Oakley vault for a while now.




By the way, I will be turning 36 in a few months time; maybe I am starting to appreciate watches with simple and classic design.

Thanks for looking.

So your watch appreciation is changing, do not be supprised when (not if) you have reached the pinnacle and your ultimate appreciation is for the Blancpain Villeret ultra-thin automatic. Great pictures, thanks for posting them. -Flere

I'm not sure of your point as these are various sized watches I thought the point of the post was the change from big watches to smaller pieces. Did you undergo a similarchange from chronographs to simple date watches? My take on it: I generally wear vint...

and sorry for not explaining well enough. All I want to say is I am starting to appreciate the simple design like the DateJust, and for the regular size (36mm) compare to my other watches which are at least 40mm and weight more. I still wear the bigger on... 

Your explanation was fine!

i just think that every few years you feel the need for a change whether it be in size or style. if your lucky enough to be a plutocrat then you can keep every watch you've ever bought and just add to your collection with your new preferences. if, like mo...
