Thread: What types of watches do you like?

No at my age I've been cured of WAD (watch acquisition disorder). The one I pictured was my last purchase, although Ive been dangerously close to picking up a chunkier one.

Now who are you trying to fool? If you are a true watch person you never stop wanting and buying until you be dead.

I said when I hit 70 it would be the end. Now I say 75 and I guess then it will be 80.

Really, shout it loud brother!!!!

I say to myself there's only two more I want and am planning to buy, either a Patek 5135 or a 5711-1a, or potentially a Rolex SD50th Anniversary, or is it that Glashutte Original PanoMaticLunar or Senator, or is it maybe a beautiful FP Journe, but then there's Lange, a nice Lange 1. My list is so long that I'd need to sell the houses of the 8 people that live on either side of me to get the collection I'd want, and then you're right, because then there's always another.

I did get an email on this one today,and had to look...

My regular everyday watch is my Seiko divers SKX 13 J Made in Japan model, I recently sold my Hamilton Khaki Officer, so my latest watch acquisition after much thought is the Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT Premium 500, and very pleased I am indeed.

You should look at the Christopher Ward Line of watches. Very reasonable and great quality and almost in your backyard.

Yes, I did look at the Christopher Ward watches, I prefered the Steinhart.

I only have a small collection of watches so far but it’s growing albeit a lot more slowly than my SR collection LOL.

I have a cheapy for around the house and in the garden.

I have 2 Seiko’s and 2 Bulovas which are my favourites.

That Steinhart is a beaut Jamie.
@39 it’s my sweet spot for dial size as well.
Might have to take a look, nice looking watch.

Only have 1 good watch. Got recently for my 40th birthday. Otherwise it a g shock to take the abuse of daily life.
