I had several ideas of how many watches i want to collect
Each year a new or used watch.
Up to 12.
Go for 15 watches.
Go for only the ones that i must collect.
A short list of must haves.
Do not look crazy when i say Cartier Santos.
Breguet Marine 2012 model.
Here it comes, Breitling Navitimer.
Corum Admiral’s cup.
Omega CK859.
Bulova Accutron.
Minerva Calatrava.
Baume & Mercier Riviera.
Hublot Big Bang.
Ulysse Nardin torpilleur tourbillon.
Dream watches:
Vacheron Constantin twin beat perpetual calendar.
Piaget Altiplano blue dial. (the ultra flat one)
Bovet Nineteen thirty.
RG Logical One.
Roger Debuis Excalibur tourbillon 42mm.
2000 posts and 7 watches
For my 2000th post I have decided to write a few words about my collection. I am grateful and proud of the 7 watches I managed to collect during the last 4/5 years. Each of them represents a facet of my taste. As you will see, I have a preference for simp...
Nice collection that you have for sure, congratulations!
Of the pieces that you have I think my 2 favorites are the Santos and the Reverso. The Santos because I want a Cartier so bad and the Tank will be my next watch purchase, and the Reverso, well because it is a Reverso. All of your others are equally as nic...
Thanks for the kind comment
The reverso and the santos are my favorite too, alongside my datejust. Both of them pack a lot of character into a small form factor.
My DateJust has a sliver dial, engine turned bezel and jubilee bracelet.
I wear it fairly frequently.
16220?
It's a great configuration. I miss the jubilee, that's why I put my name down for the batgirl instead of the batman.
Thanks!
I loved the first datejust, but it was clearly off... Franken parts and a movement that would frequently stop. I had to let it go.
Congrats on your 2000’s posts.
I love your collection. You know my love for the Tudor 58 and a Reverso is on my wishlist. But I must say that your blue DJ sits so pretty on your wrist. 👍🏻 Looking forward to the next 2000. Enjoy!
2000
2000 posts, that is huge. Congratulations and up to more posts. What i like about you and your watches is the passion for passion. We both have a simular approach to watches. Not every watch is the same, but we collect almost the same quantity in 4 to 5 y...
Passion for passion, couldn't have said it better myself!
Thanks for the kind words, you really hit the spot when talking about passion. I feel exactly like that. I too am quite interested in brands that have an appealing story behind them, just like the one of Willy Breitling. That pistachio dial is a beautiful...

Holy Vacheron Constantin.
I thought today of the Overseas. Sure the 222 is the boss. A modern one would be a good idea, because a twin beat is far beyond my reach.
I would go for an overseas over a 222
I'm glad that they released it in 35mm this year... that would be my pick.
That would be great
I hope you get your 35mm Overseas soon. I will search where i can find a 40mm on rubber.
Thank you for a great post Andrea
You have built a great collection already with some excellent strong pieces. Also a good idea to slow down as you have done now that you have all bases covered. I have made a rule for myself that says only one watch per year. It has made me make better ch...
Thank you for the comment!
One watch per year will probably be a good strategy moving forward. I am going to slowly start moving upmarket and focus on quality over quantity.
Sorry that I missed your 2k anniversary post
So let me congratulate you on your 2,1k 😉 And more seriously congratulate you for being a friendly member full of passion ! I highly appreciate your always positive approach, enjoying what you have instead of being frustrated for what you don’t have, alwa...
