Complete the sentence: "Every watch guy needs . . .
. . . x"
At our alphabet soup gathering a week ago, Mr J made a telling comment to the effect every watch guy needs a Speedmaster. Not an Omega, mind, but a Speedmaster of some sort.
He got me thinking: are there essentials in our hobby?
I came up with four, in descending order:
1.- A Speedmaster.
2.- A GS.
3.- An indie.
4.- An EP.
A Sub almost made it to #5, but I'm not quite there yet.
So what are your essentials? Watches - or movements - that every watch guy should have?
🤔
I am a simple guy
And I like diverse collections:
- a dive or sports watch (in my case: a Rolex OP39)
- a manual-wound chronograph (in my case: something to acquire again, most likely an iteration of a Speedmaster indeed)
- a dress watch (in my case: a Calatrava)
This should cover all bases for a nice collection and in concept is open to all budgets
Three generics. You're . . .
. . . the flexible sort, Vinnie!
Thanks for playing . . .
Great post
Every guy needs a:
1) Good chronograph - Omega Speedmaster Metas!!
2) A highly water resistant piece - Seamaster, FF, Pelagos etc
3) A thin dress watch - Something less than 11mm preferably
4) A baller piece - perhaps a gold Aquaterra or Yachtmaster
5) A sentimental piece - perhaps a gift from someone; or somethint to mark a moment in time
Perhaps some kindness and humility too, not exclusive to this pandemic era, but as a virtue to keep, for every mountain has a higher mountain…
Also trending generic . . . interesting. Our community . . .
. . . has broader scope than narrower focus.
Grazie!
Ah, an optimist! . . .
. . . as we Raiders fans like to say, "Good luck with that."

A favorite brand.
Not following others.
The L factor.

So, yes a Speedy certainly could be a must.
Me, Seamasters are collectable.
Wear great on my wrist.

It occurs to me a quadriplegic purist could have a collection of Atmos (Atmoi?) desk clocks.
No need to wind them!
The first five that came to mind all started with P, so let me list them here.... :-)
1) Passion;
2) a Plan;
3) Perseverance;
4) Patience;
5) a Patek (Philippe).
