You’re probably looking at a guy wearing that watch, Austin.
I caught the watch collection bug a few months ago and have started a decent collection. Obviously with smart watches and phones, owning a watch is not necessary but I love the look of them. They are functional jewelry in a sense. I need to put a freeze on buying any for a while lol.
I don't have any luxury watches yet, but I have my eye on a Grand Seiko down the road due to their amazing dials and their one-of-a-kind Spring Drive movement (combo of mechanical and quartz). They are super accurate and best of all have a sweeping seconds hand that can't be beat.
Collection so far:
Orient World Map Revival automatic
Orient Kano automatic
Hamilton mechanical field watch
Hamilton Pan Europ automatic
Citizen Tsuki-yomi A-T Eco-Drive (titanium and atomic radio controlled)
Citizen Nighthawk Eco-Drive
Laco Aachen 42 automatic
Older:
Apple Watch Series 7
3 G-Shocks black, red, woodland camo
An old fossil from high school
I know no one gives a shit, but I enjoy them. I'll follow up with some photos.

nice collection! I like Orients but have not yet gotten one...and there are some Hamiltons I wouldn't mind pulling the trigger on, namely the Murph.
My rotation is a little different than it was 2 yrs ago.
these are my main 3 I wear plus the Seiko above and the Movado 900 Series.
Omega Aqua Terra
Lorier Astra
Astor & Banks Fortitude Lite
my daily wear is usually my Seiko SARG005
but I have been wearing this one lately
I don't own anything that would be considered "luxury"
my other two in my watch rotation are a Movado Series 900 and a Brew Retrograph
The Seiko and Casio are solid man. Hard to beat those at their price points. The Japanese have some great brands.didn't realize my Seiko pic didn't post
Not familiar with Movado or Brew too much, but both looked interesting from a quick search
Omega Seamaster is a classic, nice! That dial is sweet
The look of the Astra and Fortitude are damn sexy
The Murph is very good looking. Bonus it is featured in such a cool film. The Cooper aint bad either. I like Hamilton because you are getting Swiss-made movements, but it has that American heritage.

Haha, since originally posting in this thread, I started wearing a smartwatch. It's a $30 job off amazon, probably sells all my health data to the Chinese Ministry of Medical Sciences. But it tracks my steps, monitors my sleep, and also keeps time.

honestly, you can't go wrong with some of the Seikos, Casios, and Citizens out there for their price point. Same can be said about Orient. The Bambinos are nice.The Seiko and Casio are solid man. Hard to beat those at their price points. The Japanese have some great brands.

I ended up selling the Brew...it was nice and interesting but I never liked wearing it.
The Omega was a 40th birthday gift to myself and the Astor & Banks was my wedding watch from October.
The Astra I saw at a watch show in DC and liked it enough to buy it.
I am set for watches for now...but keep looking at this Oris Pointer Date...just need to find one in a pawn shop or something
