oh that's serious

I'm getting near 30 myself and starting to feel as though it's decision time for what kind of watch collecting I'm doing, that I ought to either pare back radically (own only as many as I can give proper wrist time to) or stop worrying about wearing questions and admit that I'm collecting for its own sake (so give up on 'do I have too many' thoughts).

Started with vintage Rolex. Adventured through the world of indies: Voutilainen, Gauthier, MB&F, Gronefeld, Coyon. And have now returned to where I began. ...

When I first started collecting I loathed Rolex. I Felt like it was nothing more than a status symbol. It took me 20 years to truly appreciate Rolex for how grand it is. It is the best dollar/dollar watch one can buy.

You arrived! Similar feelings here;)))

Started with Rolex, ventured through the brands for over two decades for “better” and ended back here. There’s more to Rolex than most would imagine, more patents annually than all other brands combined… Beautiful specimen you have there, enjoy!

Nice

I like vintage rolex a lot too but just a little stressful in rainy/humid Vancouver

I live in Oregon

My 1675 is pressure tested to 5atm. Better than any modern indie I have ever owned

I agree. There’s something about Rolex.

Modern or vintage is a side debate. But it just works. Consistently. Classic design. Often imitated but never duplicated. Yours is beautiful. This is my photo from earlier today. ...
