Absolutely nailed this collection. For the price of 1 Submariner, you get a way more interesting collection. As for price, you could find the BB58 and SBGM221 each for $3k and the Speedy would be closer to $5k. Add the Casio and you are a little over $11k. Definitely worth stretching the budget an extra $1000 to fit in the Speedy.
I am currently down to a 3 + 1 Collection: 1. Seamaster Diver 300m (previous model) 2. Rolex Explorer 214270 (39mm) 3. JLC Master Moon + a Gshock, dont remember the Reference. Pretty happy with the Collection Right now 🎉
The SBGM221 has been on my wishlist for a really long time. That dial colour is absolutely stunning and it's way more affordable than the other Grand Seikos. What a beauty! Kudos for creating a great collection!!!
Love the proposed 3+1 collection. Like Max, I’ll probably never get down to only 4 watches, but if I did I think these 4 watches would be versatile and bring me joy. Well done.
Almost exactly my 3 grail set: 1. BB58 2. Speedmaster FOIS 3. GS GMT 4th, either the gshock you shared or a Seiko 5 in blue with white accents. Perfect set.
Amazing choices, that Grand Seiko is killer as a choice. One of the most beautiful I have seen. I would personally go for the Oris Aquis Cal 400 over the BB58, adds a lot of color. Honestly, I can appreciate larger collections, theres always variety for you. I am currently posted away from home for several months and have 5 watches with me. I miss the larger collection!
1. Chronograph : Speedmaster Pro cal. 1861 2. Dresswatch : Vacheron Constantin 6352 YG cal. 1003 3. Diver / Beater : Crepas Plongeur cal. 2824-2 + Historical watch : Omega CK 2292 HS/8 cal. 30T2 + Nerd Watch : Omega Speedmaster 125th cal. 1041 P.S. Love your videos! P.P.S. Love the Speedmaster Broad Arrow on that bracelet! P.P.P.S. If the ultra thin Vacheron is not in the sub 10k budget any more - the CK 2292 could be also a nice dress watch and a great conversation starter.
This is right up my and many others alleys. 10k is reasonable for a minimal but quality collection that actually gets mileage on all watches. Very good selections up and down the list.
Fantastic collection. Love that all the watches are strap monsters as well so you can continuously change it up. The SBGM221 might be the best bang for the buck watch i've come across.
I got like 15 watches and they all combined don't even hit $5K mark. Some bad boys are: Diver + GMT aka beater: Mido Ocean Star GMT. GMT aka travel/casual: Glycine Airman. Dress/casual (I don't care for chronos): Certina DS-1 Himalaya Edition. Wild Card (don't really have a soft spot for Casio or quartz): Orient Retro Future Camera. My limit for a watch is under $2K anyway, so that I wouldn't feel too flaky if I'm mugged and not be afraid of wear and tear ))
My current 3+1, at under $4000 spent: Diver: Seiko SPB149 Chrono: Speedmaster Reduced Daily: Sinn 556a RS Beater / fitness: Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic With more money, I'd have went: SPB149 -> SLA039 Speedy Reduced -> First Omega in Space Sinn 556a RS -> IWC Mark XV or XX If you don't wear smartwatches, a GShock DW5600 could be swapped for the Galaxy Watch. For me, a GMT is used when traveling. For the type of traveling I'm doing at this stage in my life, backpacking & hostels, a low-value beater with dual time function (GShock, Timex Q GMT, smartwatch) is more appropriate than something like a Grand Seiko.
That Speedmaster is such a gorgeous left field choice. Who needs the Speedmaster '57! Using the GMT as your dress watch is clever too. The regular Seikos I've worn measure fairly thick but wear thinner than the numbers suggest.
I agree with two out of three, BB58 is a no brainer that is not only functional but draws on a classic, the Speedy again, no need to go any further. The GS? I'm not quite so sure as I've only tried a few of then but not purchased. An alternative would be the Omega Constellation Globemaster teal dial on dark blue leather strap that is hugely underrated and also the first METAS certified Omega model. The +1, I totally agree, my 5610 was with me during a difficult 2021 where a few unplanned surgeries were required so I have a bond with that watch. This one will never be sold while I can draw breath as it's a special watch to me.
My list reads the following: Diver - Sinn U50 Tegimented ($2630) Chronograph - Sinn 144 St DIAPAL ($3500) GMT - Grand Seiko SBGM221 ($4600) +1 - Casio G-SHOCK GBD-200UU-1ER ($180) Total - $10,910 (About $1000 over budget) I agree with two of Max's picks; for others, I am evidently a Sinn fanboy.
I have a very similar "3 watch" collection. I have a Grand Seiko 29mm dress watch that is feminine but not girlie. The BB58 Blue. I did go Rolex money for my Explorer, but if I hadn't... there are tons of great field watches to choose from. I impulse bought a Casi-Oak for $100 and regret nothing. It looks great and I don't worry someone will rob me or that I'll break it
I'm also trying to stick to a 3+1 watch. My daily beater is my Seiko Diver SPB143. My GMT is GS SBGN005 which is suitable for both casual and work. My dress watch is currently Ball Engineer Pioneer but looking to get a GS Spring drive watch after I get my chronograph. Yes, I don't have a chronograph. So saving up now :D Speedy pro seems like a good option
I struck out on your build approach. Not a big fan of chronos. Also struggle with folks dropping big $s on dive/tool watches when you can get a King Turtle for < $1K. Unless you are getting a diver (e.g., Submariner) as your one watch. Diver - Seiko King Turtle Special Edition Chrono - GMT - Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Otherwise went with two Cartiers for dress (Tank Must XL) and GADA (Santos de Cartier Large Grey) categories.
I would do either the Omega Aqua terra or the IWC mark xx as daily watch, anordain as the dress watch, universal geneve white shadow as vintage / talking piece, and a G shock as the daily beater. You could even squeeze in the bulova lunar pilot as the chrono, and yes it has been to the moon!
So, A Tudor BB, an Omega Speedy, an older Grand Seiko GMT and a G-Shock! I am nearly with you - I have a Tudor BB GMT, an Omega Seamaster, and 4 G-Shocks (all solar powered). You have nailed this collection and not a Rolex in sight! However, I could not part with watches that hold sentimental value, or my Hamiltons. So, a 10 watch collection is more likely for me. Great video though.
Pretty happy with my duo, which I feel gives a balance of timeless design and rugged build in one and a contemporary avant garde appeal in the other - Rolex OP41 in black -Zenith Defy Classic Skeleton Thoughts on this pair?
My 3+1 would be the Baltic Aquascaphe GMT, Seiko Alpinist, and a Grand Seiko spring drive elegance plus the G Shock 5600 as a beater. Would be a bit under $10k all in. I have all except the GS - it’s next on the list!
Pelagos 39 (Black) Speedmaster Racing Panda (White) FC Worldtimer (Blue) + CasiOak (Gray) This would be a modern killer 3+1. But budget may be around 15k😅.
Not a Chronograph fan. I'd go with a more "everyday" watch that might even look better with some visible age (Sinn 556 or Omega Railmaster/Aqua Terra). But it's all fantasy for this public school teacher, as Seiko 5s and a used Oris D65 make up my collection now and that Sinn is my grail watch.
I'd go Bond era 2254.50 as the diver, then JLC ultra thin 34mm vintage dress watch and maybe a nomos 36mm club campus / IWC Mark as an every day... oh an G shock as the 4th obviously 😇
My 4 watch collection i want to build is a bit different because its mostly by the look not the occasion or function. 1- grand seiko sbgw231 2- kurono tokyo 34mm special project 3- ming 1709 copper dial or blue 4-baltic gmt or diver watch since they have vintage aesthetic. 5- honorable mention nomos metro because i like the lugs look beeter than tangente.
id personally say the 3 in 1 should be: dress watch, chrono and diver over having a gmt, not many people have a case use for it, and you add an oddities for the 4th one, maybe its a weird casio or maybe its something just really fun and kind of a joke as a last piece!
Boy get the speedmaster when you have the G-Shock I personally have a quartz calligraph I wear at work. I saved my mechanical watches for my regular life. Being a contractor I still treat my watches as the same as every tool I use, purpose built for my lifestyle
The issue with doing chrono, GMT, and diver is it doesnt cover Work, Rest, Play. Play is covered by the divers watch, Work is covered by the GMT, but that chrono isn't rest or work, more in the play category, which is already covered. Rest could be covered by the beater, but the chrono is overlapping. Would have been better to have a more chill watch replacing the chrono
Max check out the Citizen NB1060. I've seen it discussed on a couple of forums and videos because of its absolutely stunning dial. I think you'd do a good review on it.
I think the idea behind this collection is great but most of us are sick in head and have way more in the watch box but will put our own large collections into these fictitious micro collections for fun as well lol
Here's a little secret. The SBGE225 is the spring drive version of the SBGM221 and is cheaper! The online photos don't show the dial for it is, which is a sunburst ivory.
@@WatchCrunchOfficial yep, it was produced for the rebranding of GS and then re released as a boutique exclusive in Sydney in 2020. It's the watch that watchfinder use in that seiko Vs grand seiko video from a few years ago when they compare it with the blue presage model.
Absolutely agree with you with this 3+1 Watch collection, actually this is just like my current collection, i have blackbay 58 in navy blue, GS SBGM221, instead of speedmaster i have Reverso claasic small second with duo face ( although really want speedmaster as my next purchase😂), also G shock GWB5600, i still new in watch world and really love your video
Nice collection. All 4 watches are special. Maybe lacks a punch. Grand Seiko is original and the dial is cream color. BB and Speedmaster both black… would have gone for a more exotic choice instead of the BB
Great choices! I however would have chosen the 3570.50 normal hesalite moonwatch....that is very close to the vintage moonwatch. I would also be tempted to choose a Cartier as a dress watch. An everyday beater is not necessarily quartz, you could choose some b brand with a miyota automatic for under 150 dollars. These calibers are extremely durable.
@@WatchCrunchOfficial Your GS choice was spot on.....The tank is nice, but a lot of folks will not gravitate to it because it may be a little too out there for them.
Max, loved BB58 and speedy choices! I didn’t like the GMT so much, maybe because I love Pepsi GMT so much!! By the way, as curiosity, aren’t the strap parts placed oppositely in your agrave Seiko? I am used to see the holes part at 6H…
Mine is a 2+1 super budget collection: Casio Duro for weekends Frederique Constant Slimline for suits G-shock bluetooth CasiOak Hopefully one day I'll pull the trigger for an Omega diver300
Fantastic ideas and lovely peices. Sub 1k, go for homages of the tudor and speedy. Go quartz on the speedy-mage, to get better eccuracy and longer service periods than the gen. With the Tuodr-mage, go NH35, to cover your need for an authentic, hand made mechanical with heritage and providence. Forget the GS, it's not a spring drive and you all ready have a Seko with the NH35-Tudor. Instead, get a decent fake Santos or 5711 to really turn heads. Agreed about a casio beeter but as a hourologist, go for a Casi-Oak, as a nod to Genta. Console yourself that you have made a genuinely sound economic decision, as this whole lot looks as good as the originals but cost less than the first service on a second hand speedy.❤
@@verynormalman What's so bad? They look the same, keep good time and you save yourself 9k. With no worries about loss, damage, depreciation or running costs!🤣
@@gregsmith7821 Next time you're ill, you could buy some "homage" medicine? The bottles are nearly the same, but inside, the bit you can't see, it's different from the expensive one at the pharmacy. But you wouldn't care would you. Saved yourself 9K. Excellent!
3 + 1 is a practical way to go. While it’s hard to argue the categories, I still think a proper dress watch should be a three hander, preferably in. precious metal instead of steel. Gold-plated could keep it within budget.
Let me try this from my current collection? 1) Omega Speedmaster racing reverse panda 2) one of my 6 digit GMT's - either the Rootbeer or the Batman - that will take some thought, and 3) either my Reverso or my Grand Seiko SBGW235. This is harder than it looks!
I could skip the speedmaster in favor of some time-only dress or date sports watch. Because all of these are quite complicated watches and it would be nice to have something simple. Also, you already have a chronograph in Casio)
I actually have a 3+1 collection. A seiko SPB143… which is a diver. A Oris Divers 65… which is euh a diver. A Tudor BB58… also a diver 😅 + A seiko mod based on a SKX171… which happen to be a diver😂
Since pre-owned is considered, the Omega SMP is about the same price as the BB58. I wanted a 3+1 collection but ended up with a 5+1... for now its 1 in 1 out.
I’ve managed to downsize to 4 but don’t know for how long… I’m constantly dreaming of pieces I wanna try on. I’m now down to Navitimer, Reverso Duodace, Sub 124060, Grand Seiko sbgw231
Got my own 3 + 1 collection albeit a bit more pricey. 1. Breitling Navitimer (2022 reverse panda) 2. Grand Seiko SBG221 3. Longines Legend Diver and a DW5600 GSHOCK as my beater
Here is mine. Marathon CSAR. Marathon JDD. ORIS Depth Gauge and possibly the Damasko DC86. The beater. Well I have three of those and they are quartz. The Damasko is just bad ass

Thanks! Yeah the budget really depends on finding good deals 😉
I'm seeing quite a few broad arrow speedys in good condition around $2800 on Chrono24. I think you could do this entire collection under $9k.
What website are you seeing the sbgm221 at 3k?
@@tylerlittle7818 some on Chrono sometimes but mostly on Reddit
How do you get a bb58 for 3k? I couldnt find anything likw that
I am currently down to a 3 + 1 Collection:
1. Seamaster Diver 300m (previous model)
2. Rolex Explorer 214270 (39mm)
3. JLC Master Moon

Kudos! That’s a well-rounded “3+1” watch collection. Extra points for including the SBGM221… loving mine!
I got like 15 watches and they all combined don't even hit $5K mark. Some bad boys are:

My current 3+1, at under $4000 spent:
Diver: Seiko SPB149
Chrono: Speedmaster Reduced
Daily: Sinn 556a RS
Beater / fitness: Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic
With more money, I'd have went:
SPB149 -> SLA039
Speedy Reduced -> First Omega in Space
Sinn 556a RS -> IWC Mark XV or XX
If you don't wear smartwatches, a GShock DW5600 could be swapped for the Galaxy Watch.

Can't go wrong with the Globemaster. I didn't want 2 omegas though
Keep up this type of content 🙏🏼 we need more videos out there just talking about the joy of collecting
Cheers Ben!
For me, I’d get a Reverso duoface and a BB58 or Pelagos 39. Honestly think a two watch collection is the way to go (for me).
Great choices! I personally didn't like the 39, but I know it's very popular
production quality is on whole other level now!
Thanks dude 😎👍
I have a BB58 (the 925) and a 1861 Speedy. I’ve also been on the fence of buying that GS for months. It could totally work as a 3 and done collection.
I’d like to see one for 5-6.5k budget range. This one was awesome too though!
I’ve always loved the SBGM221. Definitely my next milestone watch. What is your wrist size?
6.5in. it's such a classy piece!
My list reads the following:
Diver - Sinn U50 Tegimented ($2630)
Chronograph - Sinn 144 St DIAPAL ($3500)
GMT - Grand Seiko SBGM221 ($4600)
+1 - Casio G-SHOCK GBD-200UU-1ER ($180)
Total - $10,910 (About $1000 over budget)
I agree with two of Max's picks; for others, I am evidently a Sinn fanboy.
Great video ! Love the dialogue and can’t argue with the watch choices.
Thanks Gary!
Amazing picks!! That Grande Seiko is really a great fit with with the others and now I want this collection!

Nice combo! Can't complain about the explorer 👌
This collection is absolute perfection. Wish I had saved for these 3+. Instead of collecting a ton of random midrange crap.
Just off loaded all my “mid range crap” and got two pieces I love instead. Consider giving that a shot
We've all been there
My fresh-grad budget "3+1" watch collection:
- Diver: Orient Ray/Orient Kamasu
- Dress watch: any Seiko 5 (SNXS77, SNXS79, SNXF05)
- Everyday watch: Tissot PRX 35mm Quartz
- Beater: G-Shock DW5600E
Great start! Congrats on your diploma🤙
Love your channel friend. Great content, commentary, analyses.
Black bay 925, Speedy 57, I agree with the GS GMT, and the beater a colorful Timex 36 Malibu
I'd swap out the speedmaster for the longines bigeye petro-blue, it'd be a killer collection.
I own three tool watches. Something about simplicity and function that appeals most to me
Solid recommendations. Great advice for a new watch enthusiast to get in and get out at +/- 10k
Yep, I think it's a good spot if you really wanna stay in a modest budget
I'm also trying to stick to a 3+1 watch. My daily beater is my Seiko Diver SPB143. My GMT is GS SBGN005 which is suitable for both casual and work. My dress watch is currently Ball Engineer Pioneer but looking to get a GS Spring drive watch after I get my chronograph.
Yes, I don't have a chronograph. So saving up now :D Speedy pro seems like a good option
Great combo Alvin, yes get a speedy!
I struck out on your build approach. Not a big fan of chronos. Also struggle with folks dropping big $s on dive/tool watches when you can get a King Turtle for < $1K. Unless you are getting a diver (e.g., Submariner) as your one watch.
Diver - Seiko King Turtle Special Edition

Otherwise went with two Cartiers for dress (Tank Must XL) and GADA (Santos de Cartier Large Grey) categories.
Thank you Max....are you attending the worn&wound NYC meeting this weekend?
Yep I'll be there! Come up the panel discussion Saturday at 1pm

Thoughts on this pair?
My 3+1 would be the Baltic Aquascaphe GMT, Seiko Alpinist, and a Grand Seiko spring drive elegance plus the G Shock 5600 as a beater. Would be a bit under $10k all in. I have all except the GS - it’s next on the list!
Nice! Love the alpinist
Beautiful watch collection. my selection is quite similar, but I prefer the blue BB58 and the standard saphire crystal Speedmaster or the 57
Pelagos 39 (Black)
Speedmaster Racing Panda (White)
FC Worldtimer (Blue)
+ CasiOak (Gray)
This would be a modern killer 3+1. But budget may be around 15k😅.
Those broad arrow speedies from the 90s are my favorite.
They are lovely 😍
Is there a version of this video for a $3k budget? Would love that as a new collector.
Loved this video! What strap did you have on the GS?
It's from the strap tailor
Excellent choices.
One revew of tag aquaracer 200 professional. Thanks
Not a Chronograph fan. I'd go with a more "everyday" watch that might even look better with some visible age (Sinn 556 or Omega Railmaster/Aqua Terra).
But it's all fantasy for this public school teacher, as Seiko 5s and a used Oris D65 make up my collection now and that Sinn is my grail watch.
I have way too many "beaters", but I'm planning on Rolex Day-Date Meteorite dail, and Tudor Pelagos for dressy and sport watch, respectively.
Great video, absolutely love all three watches, but I think they blow way above the 10k mark!
I have a 3 watch collection.... and another 3 watch collection...and another... NM Brilliant video
😂
I'd go Bond era 2254.50 as the diver, then JLC ultra thin 34mm vintage dress watch and maybe a nomos 36mm club campus / IWC Mark as an every day... oh an G shock as the 4th obviously 😇
That sounds good, and you have to have a G-Shock in every collection! Good choices.
My 4 watch collection i want to build is a bit different because its mostly by the look not the occasion or function.
1- grand seiko sbgw231
2- kurono tokyo 34mm special project
3- ming 1709 copper dial or blue
4-baltic gmt or diver watch since they have vintage aesthetic.
5- honorable mention nomos metro because i like the lugs look beeter than tangente.
Very interesting bunch 👌
id personally say the 3 in 1 should be: dress watch, chrono and diver over having a gmt, not many people have a case use for it, and you add an oddities for the 4th one, maybe its a weird casio or maybe its something just really fun and kind of a joke as a last piece!
Tudor BB58 - pretty cool
Speedmaster - cool
Grand Seiko - cool
White G-Shock - not so cool
Just get an Apple Watch instead for daily wear
🤣
Boy get the speedmaster when you have the G-Shock I personally have a quartz calligraph I wear at work. I saved my mechanical watches for my regular life. Being a contractor I still treat my watches as the same as every tool I use, purpose built for my lifestyle

Absolutely agree with you with this 3+1 Watch collection, actually this is just like my current collection, i have blackbay 58 in navy blue, GS SBGM221, instead of speedmaster i have Reverso claasic small second with duo face ( although really want speedmaster as my next purchase😂), also G shock GWB5600, i still new in watch world and really love your video
Would you consider upgrading your 3594.50 to the new 3861 Speedmaster?
@WatchChrunchOfficial what's your telegram
Would love to see a SOTC vid showing your entire +/- 30 watches.
2+ hour video 🤣
Nice collection. All 4 watches are special. Maybe lacks a punch. Grand Seiko is original and the dial is cream color. BB and Speedmaster both black… would have gone for a more exotic choice instead of the BB
you lost me at skinny jeans :P Great vid, the Grand Seiko is my pick
I’m rocking a Seamaster 300 M blue, 1863 Speedmaster, Seiko Willard in Black and a Seiko Pepsi Turtle.
Godtier watch casio, Nico would be so proud!
Here's my ideal 4 watch collection for under 10K CAD
Tudor Black Bay 58 $4600 CAD
Longines Avigation Bigeye $4100 CAD
Citizen NB1060-12L $850 CAD (including shipping and duty)
G-Shock 5610SU-8DR $150 CAD
Great choices! I however would have chosen the 3570.50 normal hesalite moonwatch....that is very close to the vintage moonwatch. I would also be tempted to choose a Cartier as a dress watch. An everyday beater is not necessarily quartz, you could choose some b brand with a miyota automatic for under 150 dollars. These calibers are extremely durable.
Great points Peter, I almost choose the Cartier tank solarbeat for the dress piece
@@WatchCrunchOfficial Your GS choice was spot on.....The tank is nice, but a lot of folks will not gravitate to it because it may be a little too out there for them.
Max, loved BB58 and speedy choices! I didn’t like the GMT so much, maybe because I love Pepsi GMT so much!! By the way, as curiosity, aren’t the strap parts placed oppositely in your agrave Seiko? I am used to see the holes part at 6H…
Yeah I wanted a dressy GMT to cover 2 bases
Mine is a 2+1 super budget collection:
Casio Duro for weekends
Frederique Constant Slimline for suits
G-shock bluetooth CasiOak
Hopefully one day I'll pull the trigger for an Omega diver300
Nice work Rafael 👍
Awesome choices which you can actually BUY! With no long waiting list and unethical bundling requirements.
Like it! Now do one for $5k and another for $20k please
I blew my $10k budget on one watch. The 16570 Polar Explorer II. Has a date & GMT, 100m water proof. I don't need a chrono.
I have BB58 with ranger braceket
Blue 38mm Aqua Terra on rubber
Blue 36mm Datejust fluted bezel on jubilee
Looking at 38mm el primero any thoughts?
Fantastic ideas and lovely peices.
Sub 1k, go for homages of the tudor and speedy. Go quartz on the speedy-mage, to get better eccuracy and longer service periods than the gen. With the Tuodr-mage, go NH35, to cover your need for an authentic, hand made mechanical with heritage and providence. Forget the GS, it's not a spring drive and you all ready have a Seko with the NH35-Tudor. Instead, get a decent fake Santos or 5711 to really turn heads. Agreed about a casio beeter but as a hourologist, go for a Casi-Oak, as a nod to Genta.
Console yourself that you have made a genuinely sound economic decision, as this whole lot looks as good as the originals but cost less than the first service on a second hand speedy.❤
Re: Your selections / suggestions. Not turning heads. It's turning my stomach. Really bad list.
@@verynormalman What's so bad? They look the same, keep good time and you save yourself 9k. With no worries about loss, damage, depreciation or running costs!🤣
@@gregsmith7821 Next time you're ill, you could buy some "homage" medicine? The bottles are nearly the same, but inside, the bit you can't see, it's different from the expensive one at the pharmacy. But you wouldn't care would you. Saved yourself 9K. Excellent!
Love the topic, great video
Thanks!
3 + 1 is a practical way to go. While it’s hard to argue the categories, I still think a proper dress watch should be a three hander, preferably in. precious metal instead of steel. Gold-plated could keep it within budget.
Yeah if it's a bigger collection, most definitely
Let me try this from my current collection? 1) Omega Speedmaster racing reverse panda 2) one of my 6 digit GMT's - either the Rootbeer or the Batman - that will take some thought, and 3) either my Reverso or my Grand Seiko SBGW235. This is harder than it looks!
I could skip the speedmaster in favor of some time-only dress or date sports watch. Because all of these are quite complicated watches and it would be nice to have something simple. Also, you already have a chronograph in Casio)
I’d go with the 58, speedy hesalite, and a tank
I actually have a 3+1 collection.
A seiko SPB143… which is a diver.
A Oris Divers 65… which is euh a diver.
A Tudor BB58… also a diver 😅
+
A seiko mod based on a SKX171… which happen to be a diver😂
Hahaha 🤣
Since pre-owned is considered, the Omega SMP is about the same price as the BB58. I wanted a 3+1 collection but ended up with a 5+1... for now its 1 in 1 out.
Good call Don!
I’ve managed to downsize to 4 but don’t know for how long… I’m constantly dreaming of pieces I wanna try on. I’m now down to Navitimer, Reverso Duodace, Sub 124060, Grand Seiko sbgw231
Great vid, Max
Thanks my dude 😎✊
Got my own 3 + 1 collection albeit a bit more pricey.
1. Breitling Navitimer (2022 reverse panda)
2. Grand Seiko SBG221
3. Longines Legend Diver
and a DW5600 GSHOCK as my beater
There you go!
Great choices!
I wish I could do a 3+1. It would make morning choices more straight forward. 😊
LOL, stand naked next to watch box
Why not go for the Speedmaster Reduced and spend more on the other 2?
Here is mine. Marathon CSAR. Marathon JDD. ORIS Depth Gauge and possibly the Damasko DC86. The beater. Well I have three of those and they are quartz. The Damasko is just bad ass
