Lovely collection there. I've never really measured which watch I wear the most but I probably rotate between only 4 or 5 of mine.
BTW, keep the Oris!

Re: Peteo - August 2014
Nice collection; my favourite being the Speedy - I think the case size at 40mm is spot on. I agree with the view of wearing a favourite(s) most of the time, with the others just when you fancy a change.

Re: Peteo - August 2014
Different strokes for different folks, right? I still will get something vintage one of these days to bring me at least a little more in line...Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:Superb collection, Pete, though very few that I would go for - our tastes are a little different. However, I love the deck watch look of the Hamilton. I thought one of those for me would have to be Roman, but I find the Arabics on that very tasteful.
Well done!
I'm surprised myself at how much I love the Hamilton. There's a lot of visual depth to the dial that I really like even on a relatively simple dial design. The high up subdial doesn't bother me. Neither does the slightly off color date wheel. It's super comfortable to wear too. A real winner given the price point, particularly with a healthy discount from the AD.
Unfortunately, I still have the beater realm covered. I took a spill on the sidewalk some months ago and scuffed up my C70 pretty good. The bezel is not in the best shape (the photo above is pre-fall), so the C70 has become the beater that I actually wear instead of the Seiko, which is the beater that I don't.Kip wrote: Aside from the need for a beater, I would part with the Seiko and/Oris....but then again, I would keep them all and buy another watch box.
Part of me wants to, but I just don't know that I can justify keeping it at the rate that I'm wearing it. I like the look of it and all, but I just don't think that I like it enough to want to let it take 1 out of 12 (or spots.Lego wrote: BTW, keep the Oris!

Re: Peteo - August 2014
What a great SOTC Peteo !!
That Speedmaster racing is pure drool material for sure
Personal favourites bar the Speedmaster would be the C60 Kingfisher, the C60 Red FLE and the C70 Cunningham.

Re: Peteo - August 2014
Indeed. The ones you wear most I would not even consider buying but everyone is different which is what makes forums so interesting. Sometimes you come across a watch that you have never seen before and know you have to have it.Peteo wrote:Different strokes for different folks, right?
The C20 FLE is a classic though.

Re: Peteo - August 2014
Great collection the speed master and the solo are fantastic would love to Owen either.
I know where you are coming from on the 40mm. My Tutima was a game changer as far as size goes with my collection. Can't wait for CW offerings. Like a few others have mentioned you may need a slight cull so you can get the Tuodor as some are getting little wrist time.

Re: Peteo - August 2014
Very nice collection you have there and I especially like the Ball. As far as wrist time goes, I find that I definitely have my favorites and I have a couple that get more weekend wrist time than others. I like the idea of putting the lesser worn watches in a box for a month and seeing how you feel when the month is up.
