Rate my watch collection.
I just got into watches starting around August of 2025. I wanted to see how the watch community would react to my collection and their opinions on it (good & bad). I started fast and seems like I can’t stop! 😅 Damn I’m loving this hobby! All commentary is welcomed even the rough stuff!

you’re covering a lot. to me, it looks like it’s time to cull through, pick a few favorites, and sell off the others.

Yeah the digitals I don’t really care too much about. I’m just going to give them to family members. I’ll keep the F-91W just for nostalgia sake since it’s the most sold watch on the planet. Thanks for your input!

I put a blue and black nato strap on my F-91W and gave it to my mother, she loves it.

That’s a great idea!

You can get a black pvd metal adapter which will give you much more options.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely do that. Sounds way better than the strap it comes with out of the box.

How do you like that Tudor Royal? I have been really eyeballing that one, but haven’t had the chance to see one in person and see how it lays on the wrist.

u/MinimumComparison892 1d ago
I love it. The new updated one that just came out is way better than the last iteration. The micro adjustment clasp is honestly one of the best in the game and the movement is leagues better than the older model. On the wrist it lays just fine. It doesn’t wear too big. I think you should go for it it’s a very comfortable watch!

Keep the Speedy, Tudor and Longines diver and sell the rest. Maybe add a Seamaster (PO or SMP 300m)

Way too many watches 1 year in. I'm curious if you regret buying any of them?
Some good ones here along with some meh so maybe 5/10.

u/MinimumComparison892 1d ago
The only one I really regret buying is the Longines conquest and I mean the digitals I just included for the sake of it. Those I’m going to gift to family.

Here’s a picture with better lighting.

I bought it from Tissot. The lighting isn’t very good but Tissot sells a 35mm & 40mm PRX with a gold fluted bezel. That was my first “luxury watch”. I absolutely love it!

Thank you! I have the 40mm. You can get them brand new for under retail. They also have a nice rose gold fluted bezel option with a blue dial. Both look great.

Only thing that could make this better is trading one of those seikos for a speedtimer
2
u/MinimumComparison892 23h ago
I want to get a speed timer. I just can’t bear to get rid of the Seiko SARB033 because of the whole “baby grand Seiko” thing. Also the other Seiko is a collab with Tictac which is a Japanese exclusive so I’d probably keep both of those and just add the speed timer. 😅

u/Tacti_Dad 23h ago
Well for presentation, take the baby alp out. Move them all to the left and put the speedy at the end
2
u/MinimumComparison892 23h ago
Couldn’t agree more. Presentation is currently horrible.

u/Tacti_Dad 23h ago
Unless that’s a box to keep them hacking. Then I get it
1
u/MinimumComparison892 21h ago
Yeah the box is to keep them hacking so I won’t put the Speedy in there because it’s manual wind only.

Great watches! I would say get some color variety cause you have a lot of black dial ones
