Want to start a collection
Hi All it's my first thread on the site and I wanted to start a watch collection.
I only have two watches on the time being:roles submariner and a hublot ice bang 44 mm,I feel that I am lost and don't know how to start.

We all knew that ( and sometimes still know that ).
There are some lines, such as complications ( one per brand ), or themas ( Chronos, Chronometers, GMTs, Minute Repeaters, Alarms, and so on ), or one brand ( all the watchesz of a brand ). There is another line: Buy what you like. In any case, take your t...
Starting is the easiest part!
It's knowing when to stop that's the hardest! Like Amanico says, take your time and don't rush into it.
Stop?
Fernando, Please stop this nonsense! Why would anybody want to stop?!??!!! Happy Watching justindependent
Take your time
Start by spending countless hours on forums, and wait till you really fall in love with a piece or a make. otherwise, you'll by watch others like, and start flipping them. Just my 0,02
Find what you love...
I really cannot add much to what has already been said, my real advice is to buy the watches you love. Unless you are looking at this as a type of investment where they will be locked in the safe never to see the light of day or be put on the wrist (sad l...
Wow!!!
That are the fastest replies I ever got on a forum. Definitely it's gonna be my favorite forum,what I can sense now as I have been reading Alot of threads that this is the only professional watch forum on the Internet. Thank u guys alot I will keep lookin...
I think many of us will tell you...
Collecting is a journey. You are thinking about the right things. It won't happen overnight, and you will enjoy it more as you research and experience your interests. I fall into the "buy what you like" camp, and wear every watch I own.
The only advice I can give you: take your time!
Read, learn, listen to your heat, define what would be the most appropriate topic of the collection. You feel lost? We all feel lost and we will always feel lost so don't worry about this ! Fx
you seems long on sports watches...

It's true
I am casually dressed all the time,I mean jeans and T-shirt kind of casual,coz I work as a building contractor and I am on site all the time Plus I am 28 years old so I don't think i will pull off a dress watch. But I am starting to feel that I need a cha...
may i humbly suggest the regular Royal Oak, not the Offshore?
or maybe a Panerai? bracelet or leather or rubber strap? practical considerations to be had. best, Horo
Your more than welcome
I meant the regular not the off shore. What model of the panerai do u suggest? 249
i have the 249, which is 47mm Radiomir
but i suspect a 44mm Luminor will suit you better. alternatively, have a look around some A series or even Pre Vs....if you are swayed by tritium charm...that may be the way forward. best, Horo
