I think I’m almost done... for now

After a couple of changes the stable looks like this



I actually broke my rule and now there’s not enough room in the box... but I tell myself it’s ok because one is always on my wrist.

Not much else I want at the moment, obviously the elusive 5711 would be a great addition, one (or two) would have to make room - and funds- for it.

Would also be willing to consolidate the 116520 and BLNR into a 116500 white dial.

But I’m very happy with what I have.

Looks like a nice collection. We've all got rules we follow; they're meant to be broken. My latest rule breakage has been "not wearing quartz". Since I got it a few days ago I've been enjoying the Garmin fenix 3 HR. There I go breaking my own rules, too.

Nice Lee! I was checking out the 5X+, to use the GPS and maps on my mountain hikes. Right now I have the Epix, it works but that 5X looks pretty nice!

Great collection!

Especially love the Saxonia and 15202. If your wrist can handle the size, I'd look into getting a 5164 (perhaps in stead of the 5167) for a low key travel piece ;>

I don't think there's a quartz crystal in there, so you're still abiding by that particular rule

Really great collection - amazing variety of pieces. Which get the most wrist time ?

Thanks

The ALS definitely gets the least wrist time, a couple of days a month, sometimes less.

But I like it a lot and think that a proper dress watch is a must.

Thanks, I really like the watch a lot. It works so much better than the fitbit that I've been using for my swims since my 910XT died. It has so much potential including GPS mapping that you mentioned. I was interested to see that it's also being used by the Navy to help their pilots have better input on altitude and avoid blackouts. I also looked at the Fenix 5 but decided this had enough of what I was looking for. Check out the link for the Navy information.

You're likely right. No quartz but everything else under the sun.

Yes indeed ! And that’s a real beauty.
