Watches
"If watches were not fun, we would need only one"
Update from 25.09.2025
Most of watches are on sale :) When I see even a small chance of changes - I use it. Is it strange? Yes it is. But who am I to fight with myself.
Update from 16.09.2025
There is one interesting term in watch collecting - the “Exit Watch”. It has a magic inside - makes you resign from collecting and wear only one. This is like dating a lot of girls and finally marrying the one and only - to be your partner forever. For life and after it if this is possible. So, my latest acquisition made me resign from collecting. I look at the watchbox. I like the watches I’ve collected - but I do not want to wear them. They are like paintings on the wall. This makes me sad. Then I look at my wrist and smile. Happy again. I have decided to wait for one year. In one year I will probably sell what I can, leaving only the items that were presents from family and friends.
Confession
This page has my current collection and my wishlist that can be used when I finally win a lottery :)
So, let me give you small introduction to this wonderful world.
There is a non-official division on watch types:
- Diver - rotating bezel is what differentiates them from any others. They look as a watch with certain functionality, and bezels give them a big space for unique looks. Most famous - Rolex submarine.
- Dress watch - these are for shirts or suits - to look officially and fancy. Usually not very readable hands, no additional features. Their goal is to look fancy and show the time.
- Beater - take these when you plan to do any activities. they are waterproof, shock-proof, the ones that you do not regret scratches. So, tough ones! Sometimes not looking fancy - that is not what they are made for.
- GADA - Go anywhere, do anything. This category is interesting, as it can include any of the above-mentioned ones. The watch that you pick when you do not have much time to decide - grab and go. They are usually ready for anything.
Current collection
Do not ask me why and how, but I really wear them all, rotating each few days. I like how they look, feel and what they can do! Initially I wanted to target on solar watches, they are precise, reliable and need no maintenance. But life is life, some models are just so tempting - can not resist adding them to collection.
