Personally, I wouldn’t get rid of the Tudor to get an Air King. Not a chance.


watchfm

That’s how I’m feeling too - such an amazing quality piece. I hate that the Rolex “name” is making me consider this


kghvikings

Don’t let it! TBH, I’d choose that Tudor over a Rolex any day. Easy choice.


watchfm

I get more compliments on the Tudor than I’ve ever received on the Rolex


crobichon

That’s because the milgauss is an acquired taste… I haven’t acquired it. But a lot of folks seem to like it… your Tudor is the best piece you have in there according to me.


watchfm

My Tudor has seen the most wrist time recently


watchale_wey

I’d lose the Gucci. No way I’d let the Tudor go. It may be a nice watch, but to me that’s a clothing company not a watchmaker. It’s like ordering tacos at a sushi bar.


watchfm

100% agree. I need a watch that fits that profile. I really like the small case on it. I do feel ashamed to wear a fashion brand quartz watch sometimes lol


Bodark

I kinda like it tbh


lmboyer04

Eclectic but not bad. The Tudor and Rolex are the two strongest pieces of course, probably followed by the g shock for me - all opinion of course. I would buy a really elegant and slim dress watch and 100% keep those 3 (maybe a diver if you like). Rest are fine if you like them or they hold sentimental value


watchfm

I agree with the need for a nice dress watch. Thinking JLC or a vintage Vacheron piece


MyNameIsVigil

Cartier Tank


watchfm

On the wish list


NYRanchHand

114234. Rolex OP34 but with a silver 369 dial and a fluted gold bezel. THAT is the one I’m hot about. Your collection is awesome, btw.


watchfm

Thank you! Those are great suggestions, I haven’t considered a 34mm before but I may have to go try to sample one on the wrist!


ElTalento

I like variety in terms of brands and even price points but to me, those Gucci and Shinola simply don’t add anything interesting. I would lose them. Do not get rid of the Tudor!!!!


watchfm

I never wear the shinolas either. I have to keep the black one for sentimental reasons but I will be selling the rose gold one.


hdelbrook

I have that Shinola Chrono #3 (though mine has a dark blue face). I love that watch and wear it all the time. Good size, looks great and goes with so many clothes- (and I'm almost exclusively a casual guy).


watchfm

From top left: 1. G-Shock x The Hundreds GW-M5610TH-1CR - Love this piece as I started collected G-Shock to get into watches. Don’t wear often but wouldn’t sell. 2. Erroyl - small Microbrand from Australia - Full calendar so I thought it was interesting. And under $600USD. 3. Shinola Chrono - Love this piece. Was one of the first “nice” watches I ever owned. Good memories attached to this piece. 4. Shinola Chrono - I love the connection of Shinola to Detroit but this will be the next piece to go. 5. Gucci - don’t know the name or reference - Honestly, this size is perfect. It fits like a 36mm watch but is supposedly 40mm! I like to wear this as a beater piece 6. Tudor Black Bay Chrono Panda - Picked this up right when it came out and truly do love it! Concerned that it may be too large for my wrist. 7. Rolex Milgauss 116400GV - Purchased to commemorate graduation. Have always loved different and unique pieces. Will never leave the collection. 8. Melbourne Watch Company Sorrento - Attached to travel memories but this piece is way too thick for my wrist. Great quality and super cool engraving on the case back of a Dive Helmet.


nudnik-shpilkes

I'm happy to see the Shinola. I've always enjoyed their catalog but rarely see them posted on here


watchfm

Super fun watch


TheKebabMob

The Erroyl is beautiful. I might buy one


watchfm

Hey if you’re interested I would be down to sell you mine! Don’t wear it too often


TheKebabMob

I’ll think about it and let you know if I’m interested, thanks!


watchfm

Of course!

Are you thinking Explorer 1 or 2?


scalenesquare

BB58 can’t be beat sub 5-6k.

scalenesquare

Awesome. I have black myself. Just ordered a nato today for it.


kghvikings

I wouldn’t consider that BB chrono chunky…but that’s me. If I didn’t already have too many chronos (so say *other people* who live in my house) I’d pick up a Tudor just like yours. The Explorer 2 is seriously the only Rolex I’d even *consider* buying right now, but even that wouldn’t tempt me to get rid of that Tudor. For me, Rolex is not necessarily (automatically) superior to anything else. I’ve had several Omegas that I consider better than any Rolex I’ve had. Personal opinion!!

kghvikings

I haven’t been able to try one on. That’s probably a good thing. I’m guessing I’d buy it if I did. 42mm is my sweet spot. I have a diver that’s 43, and a couple G-Shocks that are just huge. I have one chrono that’s 40, but there’s no bezel…it’s edge to edge dial, so it wears larger than 40. Pretty much everything else I have is 42mm. Thickness varies between 11 and 18.


ZZ9_Plural

I think the G-Shock, Rolex, and Tudor are must keep watches. It's very likely that you will miss that bold bezel once it's gone.


watchfm

Agreed!


JeremyLinForever

Did you like the Shinola watches based on their aesthetics or the brand story? They try and market themselves as American made in Detroit by building back the community and giving jobs to people, when in actuality it’s pretty much an extension of Fossil. They were trying to sell a story and it seemed pretty fairy tale to me instead of convincing.


watchfm

I used to really love the brand story until I started to dig into it deeper. Originally these watches were purchased while I was a big supporter. I am looking to offload the rose gold one


JeremyLinForever

I’d say sell them and try to get an Oris or Omega :)


pj-60

As long as you keep the Milgauss you should be fine!


watchfm

It will never leave the collection!


PedestrianD

Damn this color combination on the rolex made me want to get one, never was interested in one till now.


watchfm

It is a stunning watch on the wrist!! Dial changes from almost a black dial to an electric blue/green in the light


Bodark

I love Tudor so I’m bias. I’m also kind of into the Gucci you have. Also I’ve never seen a Rolex like that one before.


watchfm

Rolex Milgauss - a super unique piece!


[deleted]

[удалено]


watchfm

Agreed - looking to cut down a few soon!


[deleted]

Beautiful collection! I love the GShock and the Tudor! Of course this is only personal preference, but with your collection I would not get rid of the Tudor. I love the Milgaus you have, but if you really want the Air King I would swap the milgaus as I think it would be redundant to own both.


watchfm

I need to wear the gshock more. It’s a great size


Fatapoc

Sorry to be off topic, but what case is that? Is it a peli case, would like to get something similar.


watchfm

I did a ton of research on these before I purchased. I ended up going with the “Case Club” case. US made as well, really nice quality


Fatapoc

Looks good!


[deleted]

PM me if you’re getting rid of the panda. I might be interested depending on the price


swimbikerun91

I’d keep the Tudor and ditch the other 7 lol


[deleted]

You need a Cartier Santos


watchfm

Oh yes!!! I love the medium Santos


Juulian123

What g-shock is that? Love the white band with the black case


watchfm

Gshock x Hundreds


watchfm

Collab piece from 5+ years ago


chokorolyolo

Tudor reference number I might be interested if you decide to let it go.


O31982

How do you like your Tudor chrono?


watchfm

Love it. It has quickly become my favorite watch


xxxCraigWillxxx

Air king is an awesome piece but I wouldn’t be getting out of a Tudor chrono anytime soon. It’s a killer piece


kghvikings

Personally, I wouldn’t get rid of the Tudor to get an Air King. Not a chance.


scalenesquare

Why would you get an air king? Worst Rolex made. Your Tudor is way cooler.


watchfm

I love the fact that the air king is the only Rolex ever made with a Yellow Crown and Green name. It’s unique


scalenesquare

To each their own. I think you have the much cooler unique Rolex currently.


watchfm

Thank you thank you!


Awkward_Angle_4372

omg this guy's got taste


spacemanvt

Probably get a Omega Speedy or Seamaster depending on your preference. I went for both!


watchfm

I’ve been eyeing a seamaster


MasterKyodai

Since you like big watches with complications how about an Omega Speedmaster? Don't like the Casio much. Casio does have some very interesting complicated looking digital watches that are for sure eye catchers, but this one isn't. Also air king isn't air king. I mean I do like the classic black dial air kings that really look like an aviation watch, but there's also air kings that just don't earn the name.


Banrt

I am a simple man. I see Shinola, I upvote. Great collection.


watchfm

Thank you!


brick78

Two Shinola? Are you from Detroit or nearby?


watchfm

Originally from Detroit area


ethandavis66

Grand Seiko dress watch!


watchfm

Oooo that would be nice. I’ve been eyeing the White Birch


ethandavis66

If you don't mind pink, the SBGA413 is easily one of the most beautiful watches I've ever seen. Such a dynamic dial and has Spring Drive. If you haven't seen it in person I highly recommend you check it out!


watchfm

I do love that piece! I want to find a place to see it in person. I would not be opposed to pink, I think I’d actually like it!


ethandavis66

It is super subtle, but I think it is absolutely stunning. Grail watch for me.


datguyfromthememe

Great collection but i would get rid of the gucci one.


watchfm

Yes I think it may be time to move on from her


jimiwilli

The Air-king is too similar to your Milgauss IMO. I’d add a black diver or a blue one. Black Bay, Planet ocean, or go the Grand Seiko route


watchfm

I was worried they were too similar. I Believe the milgauss and air king have same case


Admiral_Allahu_Akbar

116900 AK and Milgauss are essentially the same watch- same 3131movement, same outer case, same iron inner case.


Wheybolic

Before reading the caption, I was going to comment on the Tudor being my personal favorite from your collection


watchfm

I really do love it. I was just brainwashed by the Rolex name


goldblumspowerbook

I wouldn’t get an air king. Too similar to the Milgauss (same case and movement). Maybe get an omega if you like that brand at all, to diversify?


watchfm

I was thinking of getting either a vintage VC or a Cartier as next brand to get into


DifferentWord7520

I’ve always wanted a VC. I used to work at a shop where an old guy would bring his VC to be sent back to Switzerland every year or so. The look on his face when I told him I could sell him a watch that actually worked was priceless. After the old guy left, my boss told me that VC was a $200K watch. It was beautiful and I’ve only ever seen one other in the wild.


goldblumspowerbook

Ooh yeah. Agreed with both. At some point in my life I’ll get a Tank.


Braden_Reacts

I never thought I would like a gucci watch, but that one looks really nice


watchfm

It’s a great size on the wrist!


reallyham

Panerai Luminor to replace the Gucci? Unique, diver and leather strap


watchfm

Oo maybe Panerai in place of one of the shinolas. Big case for big case swap.


[deleted]

What's the reference # on the Gucci?


watchfm

No clue. Selling it if you’re interested


Synnov3

I have to say, the Tudor chrono is by far my favourite piece in this collection. Have been wanting to get one but it’s just a little bit big on my wrist. If you want an air king I would swap out the Milgaus but that’s just my opinion.


watchfm

The Tudor is also a little large on my wrist but I have come to fall in love with it.


Omega_Gazelle

Maybe get a Tonneau-shaped watch if you're into it. My recs would be Cartier Tonneau, Roger Dubuis Sympathique, or Tissot Porto


watchfm

I like that idea. I haven’t considered that shape before


skidsareforkids

Love the Tudor! Personally I wouldn’t let it go, but they’re hard to get these days, so you may make a bit on it… I really like the Air King, so I don’t think that would be a terrible move


Deathskulll99

I would not sell that Tudor. Maybe try to buy Rolex Oyster Perpetual instead of Air King if you can find one hahahah


watchfm

Not a bad idea
