Started collecting 8 years ago (my first mechanical watch, the Longines Legend Diver is currently being serviced).

Since then, I went on a nomos kick (too many Nomos), bought another throw-back diver (Doxa Sub300 50th anniversary), inherited my Grandfather’s Rolex Daydate, and most recently picked up the Chopard Alpine Eagle.

The collection is becoming unruly…. If I had to part with one it would be the Tangente (just haven’t bonded with it), but I should probably get rid of a Club or two as well…. But I love each of them differently. I don’t find myself wearing the Doxa much either except when going to the beach.

What are your thoughts on the collection? What does the collection say about me? Any advice on pairing the collection down? I’ve never sold a watch that I’ve purchased…. Have a hard time parting with them.

    Haha the price is scary at $37k AUD but somewhat justified with the LUC movement with Geneva stamp, new case to accommodate different movement, larger dial. They said there will be a 10% price increase next year in March so that’ll take the RRP over $40k!

      Yeah when I had bought mine in August they said they were raising the prices in the near future. Not sure if this is the second price hike or if they were just baiting me back then 🤷‍♂️
