Sharing SOTC for thoughts and to provide insight for anyone on a similar journey.

With the latest addition of my BB54, I’m enforcing a 5-year ban on myself for any watch acquiring or trading. This comes after ~4 years of learning what I value through research, buying/selling, and getting my hands on a bunch of different watches.

SOTC

* Grand Seiko SBGW301 on black leather, 37.3mm

* Tudor Black Bay 54, 37mm

* Serica 5303-2 on expedition bracelet, 39mm

Also in rotation a G-Shock DW5000r-1A and Timex x Hodinkee 8-lap Ironman.

Pouring one out for all the souls that were bought and sold along the way:

* Unimatic UC4 Classic, 40mm

* Hamilton x Engineered Garments Limited Edition Titanium Khaki Field, 36mm

* Tag Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph Blue Dial, 38mm

* Serica 6190-3 Storm Grey, 38mm

Years of figuring this out were necessary for understanding what watches I like to wear, what I value, for my given situation and for this time in my life.…
