Considering These Four...
I have made a decision to let go of four pieces in my collection. Two of them are fine dress watches that I love horologically but find that I never wear. Work has moved to business casual and my personal lifestyle is gear towards a more outdoors lifestyle where non-water resistant, precious metal watches are just incompatible.
Breguet 5177 and Patek Philippe 5124: The other two are sports watches who have effectively been replaced by my recent purchase of a Blancpain Fifty Fathom Bathyscaphe Chronograph. Chronoswiss Timemaster Date and Sinn EZM 10 Testaf: So that leaves my collection down to three sports watches: Audemars Piguet RO 15400, Blancpain FF Bathyscaphe Chrono and a Rolex Submariner Date: So I have been thinking about adding another watch that meets the following criteria: Must Haves: 1) - 38-42 mm dia. and >14 mm in depth 2) - Stainless steel or ceramic case 3) - >100 meter WR (screw down crown) 4) - Automatic or hand wound movement 5) - Stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap Nice to Haves: 1) - Provides some level of brand and or aesthetic diversification 2) - Dial with lumed hands and chapter ring 3) - A hand finished movement would be a plus (hacking seconds) 4) - A new complication of practical use (e.g. Large date, GMT etc.) is a plus 5) - High quality bracelet/strap clasp, micro-adjust is a plus After a bit of internet crawling, I have identified four potential candidate watches. Breguet-Marine 5817: Meets all five "musts" and four "nice to haves" + Brand/Aesthetic Diversification + Dial Lume + Hand Finished Movement (no hacking!) + Grand Date Complication Grand Seiko-SBGH001: Meets all five "musts" and one "nice to haves" + Brand/Aesthetic Diversification + Hacking Seconds Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167: Meets all five "musts" and three "nice to haves" + Brand/Aesthetic Diversification + Dial Lume + Hand Finished Movement (no hacking!) Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711: Meets all five "musts" and three "nice to haves" + Brand/Aesthetic Diversification + Dial Lume + Hand Finished Movement (no hacking!) What say you? Perhaps there are others to consider as well? Suggestions are welcome...:)
