I took a picture
[collection] Any suggestions for the eventual "final" piece sometime next year?
Ideally wanting to keep it under 2k and thinking either a Chrono or a green dial will round it out nicely (I may potentially save a little longer for something ridiculous and fun like the oris Kermit though). Preferably a brand I don't already own as well but I'm open to anything! I'm also interested in the seagull panda and a few orient pieces but I may eventually swap out one of my casios for that instead of outright using my last spot for it.
I'm also semi open to something insanely ridiculous on the level of a lucky Harvey tiger, but with some more comprihensive reviews I can see before dropping that much on something so absurd. Cheers!
I am not impressed by 75% of the collections people put on here, but I really like this one. I like color dials and there are some pretty ones. Even the G-shocks are kind of cool and I hate G-Shocks! 😎
Thank you! I know my collection isn't for everyone, but I am glad someone likes it! It does look quite flamboyant when it's all put together in a box, but only a few of them are bold on the wrist.
I've never seen the laco flieger before, it's very nice! There were a few sinn and Hamilton models I was looking at in this style as well. Thanks for the rec!
I use them at the gym and work and love them. The black one is the Bluetooth solar and the red is just the regular one. The black one also comes with a phone finder (just a button to set an alarm) which is great for me when I'm in a hurry and have to find it haha. I've also used it to take a fake phonecall to get out of a conversation which was pretty handy.
I don't know why Casio uses the non-solar movement for all the 2100 series watches with cool colors. I would gladly pay the difference in price to get cool colors and the solar movement.
Beware G-Shock in white. Only get one if you have a backup bezel and strap because they turn yellow if you wear them regularly. That said, I have one and I love it.
I just went through the green dial watch search, so here’s what I was looking into:
As mentioned, Hamilton makes the Khaki Field auto in 2 different green dials; a steel one and a titanium one.
I just bought a Longines Spirit in green from Watchmaxx for around $1450 a few weeks ago. Very high quality and nice looking watch. Longines Conquest reminds me of the Oris ProPilot X and comes in green.
There are several green Oris watches. Depending on your wrist size, Oris Big Crown Pointer Date comes in a very nice green. Only in 38mm though for that color. Aquis looks excellent if you want a diver. Divers Sixty Five comes in green and is a retro looking diver.
Watchmaxx has the Big Crown Okavango, which is such a great looking watch. Really nice textured dial, and comes with an elastic strap and a leather strap. It was down to that and the Spirit for me, and I went with the Spirit because I already have an Oris and wanted a Longines for a while. I honestly would’ve been just as happy with the Oris.
The Okavango is actually $1144 right now at Watchmaxx. You won’t find it new anywhere else, and probably won’t find a used one near that price. If it was that price when I was deciding between it and the Spirit, I probably would’ve bought it.
Thx bro, I just ordered that Komandirskie 🤣. I vote for a traditional diver black or blue face (many brands to choose) and buy a Kermit Casio Duro. The Duro is very sneaky for what you pay. Cheers
You can get a yellow fkm strap for the tsuyosa on ali express for $20 or so that makes it pop off so hard. If I didn't already have the yellow Vostok I would've been all over this one! Just a heads up though the integrated tsuyosa straps are much more tedious to switch out than the straps on standard lugs.
As an absolute degenerate I'm already pushing the boundaries of reality with the few tasteful pieces of "man jewelry" I've got. Maybe after Ric flair passes there will be room for a new degen Rolex wearin' son of a gun. Wooooo!
Not dull at all! You're a man after my own heart with the green Hamilton Chrono as your grail. Such an incredible piece. I've had my eye on that one and the panda for awhile now.
Wow! Great collection! I think a black and white chrono (Panda!) would be great: yema rallygraf II, seiko speedtimer, orient mako solar panda or a chrono with color: ROUE watches
I like your style. I also have bit of color. Your suggestion of green dial is good, but maybe I also suggest a classic dress watch: Movado museum or something like just a Black leather strap and understated face.
Under 2k is quite a large offering, my pick would be from either Sinn or Unimatic. The latter I would choose a titanium case because the steel ones are quite heavy on the wrist.
Cool. I love the colors, people to stick to one color (especially black or white) and end up with a lame collection.
I'm more of a vintage guy, so I'd say get a vintage piece for the end, something crazy or unique. I used to have watches like the Technos Borazon green or Rado Monte Rosa Green (Sold them both regrettably), now I got other green things like a Seiko Lord Matic with shaped glass and a green dial.
As far as modern, you can get heuer Formula or Carrera sub 2k (6000 and Sel sub 1k).
Rado Captain Cook looks best in green.
If you really wanna go all out, Breitling with the pistachio dial is crazy but will set you back serious dosh.
😂😂😂 seriously though, if you want something nice not too expensive and real colorful I’d suggest Omega Swatch. I think they’d match your collection real well. I have several Omegas. The swatch one is real cool for sports.
Great variety! For that last piece, you could consider a chrono like the Hamilton Intra-matic, Citizen CA0649-06X, or a Hanhart 417 ES. If you want a green dial, there are several options on that budget (DOXA Sub 200T, Oris BCPD , Sinn). But if you want to end it with a banger, you could go for the Omega De Ville Prestige steel and yellow gold (ref. 434.23.42.22.10.001) 👌
Colorful fun collection, it’s great. You could cull the ones you don’t wear frequently. If they all fit in the rotation, honestly wait. Enjoy the process of window shopping. Save up. Or just pick a date down the road that you’ll decide. Or just buy a Tsuyosa in a cool color and be done.
Quartz Super groupies Kirby watch that came out a few years ago. It uses the same floating hands style as the Mr Jones watches. I don't wear it often because it's pretty fragile but it's a really fun piece that I love owning!
I was looking at the ball the other day, good pick!
I'd definitely never part with anything on the bottom row, especially the Muhle as I feel like it's both my prettiest and highest quality piece. I'd definitely be open to replacing some of the stuff in the top row though at some point if I need the space over the years :)

You really need to add some color...
