I was sure a GMT Rolex would be in any restarting collection for you dear S F !! Agree with you that the 1675 can be an exciting reference to concentrate collecting with so many variations made.
Nice shot of your GMT you share here!

It is certainly a very broad, charming reference!
And exploring it further definitely a worthwhile pursuit. Great sample shot, too šš»šš»
New beginningsā¦
Hello dear Kristjan and friends.
Starting a collection from scratch today would in my opinion be very exciting. Especially armed with several decades of knowledge. The landscape for watches is very different today but I still believe that you can have a lot of fun and enjoy the journey. The key is to remember that this should be a pleasurable experience.
First stop on the journey would be easy, straight down to an Omega Boutique and pickup a Speedmaster, you would be welcomed and in exchange for a very reasonable price you would walk out with a great watch on your wrist.
Whilst your in the Boutique place an order for a 321 āEd Whiteā Speedmaster as you need to have something extra special to look forward to.
Next stopā¦ No collection is ever going to be complete without a Rolex so Iām walking straight past the Rolex AD, as this journey is all about pleasure and ridicule is seldom pleasurable ;-)) ā¦ pickup a nice example of a GMT- Master with box and paperwork, because itās a modern classic that is perfect for traveling and we are definitely going to be going places !
After all this I probably need a little lunch so whilst refuelling Iām ordering a Doxa online as you need a real world ātool watchā for the high days and holidaysā¦
Now Iām going to need a Patek Philippe from somewhere and one thing Iāve learnt along the way is long after the price is forgotten the quality remains (as does the continuing service) so I would order a new Calatrava, slim and elegant but easily personalised, with a cool choice of strap, this watch will take you anywhere and still look relevant in ten years time ā¦
Finally, something that I donāt currently own but would be looking to add to my new collectionā¦ an Independent by Vianney Halter, the Deep Space !
Have a great weekend friends !
Best regards
Captain
That sounds like a great plan dear Captain. You also reminds me of a dilemma I am facing right now as I did/do wonder sometime about a PP Calatrava versus a VC traditionelle
I think I gave up on the PP without trying (so maybe I should) just because I donāt feel like call an AD to be told it will take āxā years for me to get oneā¦but maybe I should at least make the call! The VC is likely easier to source and I felt it might be a bit more incognito?!?
Superb plan to restart collecting with past experience accumulated and 0 watches in your watchbox. An Omega Speedmaster and a Rolex (GMT or Submariner) are a must I agree.
Also agree that a daily beater like the Doxa is a great way to go and at a very reasonable price. A Calatrava is a timeless design no doubt and the VH... well we are entering in another League here with this awesome timepiece! Lol!
Well thought my dear friend! Have a nice week ahead! Abel

Cannot see any gap your approach leavesā¦
And all within a day, too š
Definitely think the new Calatrava does many a thing right and the VH - perfection šš»šš»
