Nice post
I recalled my first watch was a Zenith chronomaster. After that, in the order I remember Omega, Rolex, JLC, Genta, JLC, Longines, Panerai, Omega, AP, Tudor, JLC, GS, Rolex, Rolex, Blancpain, Omega, Tag Heuer, GP, Tudor, Tudor, Tag Heuer…
That has been a 10+ year journey. Some years I’m broke, and when I have a milestone, I would often remember it with a piece. I sold off quite a few when times were hard.
I’m still dreaming of the day of owning a JLC tourbillon or an MB&F but I cannot afford one in my present condition. I did think of selling all my pieces to fund 1 really spectacular piece.
Watch journey
Here’s the evolution of my watch journey. Tag, Tag, Omega, Rolex. It’s been a great trip! Would be great to hear other peoples journeys! ...
So essentially....
any timepiece with a dial and a strap to attach the dial to your wrist LoL ....
Thanks AT
Those Panerai’s are just great looking watches. One for the future for me maybe 🤔

Thanks Dylan
Met some great friends from this forum too. Your question made me realize that I’m been focusing on sporty watches too heavily, and there is a gap. I have no pieces which are grand complications, in full precious metals or dress watches. Oh these first wo...
Omega, A Lange & Söhne, Urban Jürgensen, A Lange & Söhne.
Very short list compared to many others on this forum!
It's a great path you've chosen!
Respect for the choices you've made! Love the Rolexes and TAGs in my modest collection and have long since branched out further. Curious to see what direction you go next! Enjoy, and wear them in good health and happiness.
Thanks JToddH
I’m very happy with the Explorer II - can’t see me changing any time soon!
Here are the watches I have owned
It's impossible for me to do this in chronological order. But using the folders of images on my hard drive as my guide, here are the brands I have owned / purchased with my own money, in alphabetical order: (Note: in most cases there have been more than o...
What can I say?
It's about 20 years of maniacal buying, and about 15 years of selling. I've slowed down lately -- just too much trouble to sell.
Fun list
Mike, there is no question, you are a real watch collector. I would think you displayed the watches of your watch store. From a Timex to Audemars Piguet is a strong fact. My Roamer to my Omega is a gap too. Both are equal in joy. I post my list. Casio Sei...
Surprises and memories
Very interesting what you post. 4 rock solid luxury watches. On bracelet, and for me this is remarkable, you ignore like me chronographs. Your Heuers are for me the most i would consider. Put them on rubber or leather and it’s ok. I do not know if your He...
Well....
my overall journey started around 12 when I got my first Swatch as a gift from my mom (documented here as well). Then I slowly but surely progressed to the likes of Seiko and Casio, and then my first 'high-end' timepiece was an Omega Speedmaster in its ba...
Cartier first, then Rolex, thereafter IWC, after that Patek and Vacheron, followed by JLC and finally Arnold & Son. Never Omega, Breguet, Blancpain, AP or Zenith.
Currently only focusing on Patek, Vacheron and IWC
Nice Journey!

Mine continues exactly where it began
Mine begins by watching a white gold Omega Constellation on an equally white gold mesh bracelet, while I do school homework at my dad’s desk and he reads after clinic. Sometimes he winds an old quarter repeater pocket watch. Then: Orient mechanical green ...
I will try too.
