Mabeco - SOTC jan23

Post by Mabeco »

Here is my collection:

Currently thinking about downsizing, but still not sure on which to let go.

The grand seikos, the certina and the seiko 5 7002 are keepers (last two were from my father).

Appreciate any opinions !

That’s a nice varied collection you have there. As much as I’m not sure I’d ever wear one, those Mr Jones watches always make me smile. Thanks for sharing.

The lower box is outstanding. The swimming pool novelty watch next to the big Seiko looks interesting.

I love the theme they went with. I think what “holds back” mr.jones is the case , the tiny lugs give it a particular look which you like/tolerate or you don’t.

The funny part of this watch is that it is not even a 100m wr, which kind of defeats the purpose of the pool...

The tuna is the watch I’ve received the most compliments. Lovely watch that wears ”small” for its 50mm diameter

Agreed! I think of Mr. Jones as Swatch for grown ups. I’m a fan.

Wonderful collection you have there!

You can probably afford to let a Seiko or two depart, but good to see you have a Redux & Co piece (top box, lower row, extreme right).
