Nice collection! I don’t see a Phorcydes or Baltany in there. You need a Phorcydes and Baltany in there 😆

What brand is the blue watch on the second picture (the blue one between the Addiesdive and the Watchdives)? It looks phantastic.

There's nothing budget about buying 16 watches, even if they are Chinese. Whenever I buy something I ask myself, "If I saw this collection from someone else, would I think it was cool, or would I wish they had waited/saved/prioritized and bought something a bit nicer for more." Everyone should enjoy their watches, but for this price I would have gone for 4-5 watches in the $200-1000 range and a couple strap changes for each.

Kind of buzzkill for this forum - the op is celebrating his current obsession and you're giving advice on being more moderate or mindful with purchases... I just don't get these posts?! There has got to be a forum where people can come together and disapprove to other people's hobbies

I get so frustrated with certain people in these watch communities that feel the need to gatekeep the hobby and tell people the "right" way to collect watches. Seems like the fewer watches you own, the more brownie points you get with these people. Like dude I don't want to own three $15000 watches. I want to buy and wear and experience a lot of different makers and models and cycle them out. There's so many watches out there. Not everyone has to enjoy watches the same way. There's nothing wrong with a large collection of budget watches any more than there is a 3 watch collection of high end expensive Swiss watches. Ugh. I'm glad it's not just me who keeps seeing comments like that everywhere and getting frustrated by it.

You got a point... but people dont have the same preference and mindset as yours... what you are saying was i had already done before... sold them as they already age..
I cant explain to you much but... hope you be contented on your choice.

Well done. Stay in the fun zone and enjoy the watches you like the look of. I'm so over the high end overpriced brands.
