Collection
mahesh seeks advice from the PuristSPro community on evolving his watch collection, considering replacing his Rolex Explorer 214270 and Omega De Ville Orbis Hour Vision. He contemplates adding high-horology pieces like the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony 81180/000J-9118, A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin 211.026, F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu, or a Speake-Marin Resilience. This post offers a fascinating glimpse into a collector's journey and the thoughtful process behind curating a personal collection.
Good day Purists...
I've a dilemma... that is my collection since last 3 years i was bitten by the horological bug ;-)
now i feel i've to get out the Rolex Explorer 214270 and Omega De Ville Orbis Hour Vision to move on to next steps...
I've Vacheron-Constantin PATRIMONY 81180/000J-9118 and A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin 211.026 in my mind. I also have an affinity to FP Journe Chronomètre Bleu and Speake-Marin resilience also interests me.
Would you advise ?
Longines Diver No date was my start point and I wouldn't part with it any time (i was searching for a No-date version and located it in Harleem, Netherlands - got it shipped to Bkk).
Good day Purists... Would you PLEASE advise your thoughts? (sorry i missed it in the original query)...
Lange, because even if you think it's the wrong decision; you'll feel no financial loss if you decide to buy another option in your list. And AL&S is a blue chip purist brand who make every part in house.
Also I'd Consider the offerings from H Moser especially ones with the fume dial
interesting choices.... It seems your main interest is 2 hand watches whilst 3 hand watches has gained your interest. Have you wore any of the watches that you mention already? I think that is key in your current moment as it seems you have decided on the ones mentioned by yourself. .... If you have not wore them, I urge you to go and wear them and take a good look at them while on your wrist. After that, you go back after one week and then again wear them. If possible, try the watches at one de
But unless you've simply lost love for a current piece, I'd hold my ground. Once you start selling to buy, you risk uttering the words, "I use to have one," "I wish I stll had that," or "I regret getting rid of that one." Seling to buy is a slippry slope that never ends and creates a financial (and emotional) drain. I prefer to hold my ground, save my pennies and build on what I have. There's no instant gratification and the journey is arduous, but at least there's no seller's remorse. Good luck
Been there and sellers remorse is not a nice feeling. Better to build on..
