My core 6, one year into collecting.
I own about 22 watches. But these are definitely the 6 I wear the most.
From left to right:
Seiko 5 SRPK 31
Studio Underd0g 02Series Limited Edition
Tudor Pelagos 39
Rolex Explorer II
Omega Speedmaster FOIS
Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Bronze
I am very thankful to own all of these watches.
What do you think I am missing?
Do you have a core collection? If so let me see yours in the comments.

Nice selections. Since you asked what you might be missing I’ll say dial color variations. There’s nothing wrong with sticking to black and white. But if I had these pieces, I’d be looking at a blue dial next to color match outfits. Blue in particular because it pairs with blue jeans.
beautifully curated versatile collection, shows a good purchasing journey

I am actually pretty certain that my next watch will have a colored dial. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you very much! 🙏

To compliment your current collection, I would consider an Omega Aqua Terra. Wide selection, and easy availability.
Only a year of collecting? If you continue at this rate, in a couple of years there will be no more watches to add 😂

I think you could be right. I should probably slow down a little bit 😅
Missing other colors than blue and black. Seems bouring.
Fast year 😅 good set you've got going here
Solid collection 💪

I’ve considered an Aqua Terra for my wedding watch. Now it’s the Explorer II but I definitely want to get a 36mm Aqua Terra.
You bought 22 watches in 1 year? I thought I had a problem. You are now inspiring me to step up my game!
There are no wrong Studio Underd0gs. 😏
Lovely!
22 watches in a year is unreal! Those are a nice 6 from the collection, but I would probably take time to slow down and enjoy what you have before adding anymore.
Lovely! You’ve got some treat in there. I love the Steffani blue Underdog and the Hamilton, particularly. You’re not actually “missing” anything! Your collection is your collection; there are no rules no matter what people try to foist on you.
What would look cool to me in that crowd of pretties? Something like this perhaps?
It won the GPHG challenge prize!
Beautiful watch! 😍
Very versatile, bit of color wouldn’t hurt I think. It’s subjective though, you definitely have some classics in timeless colors. Something bright and “fun” or “different would add a bit of spice in my opinion. Overall though killer pieces though mate, congrats. May you wear them in good health
Which watchbox is that?
Beautiful watch! 😍
Yes, it is! I’d like one myself.
🔥
Great core! I keep mine lean and tight also at 6 pieces.
Nice rotation. From the rest of your collection, who comes off the bench most often and why?
I agree with @TheMightyOz , try some various colors, and or dial materials. Spice it up and have fun 😁
Strong collection. Really like the contrast between the six pieces, both in brands, styles, colours and functions. If I were to add anything to this, it would be a dress watch (maybe a JLC moonphase or GS Omiwatari).
Maybe go precious metal if your budget allows, you could do with an out-and-out dress piece. Love the Hamilton btw 😍
Maybe a blue dial? A german brand watch? A dress watch?
One year?! Yowza! (Great collection)
I am not sure if 22 watches in 1 year can be called "collecting". 😅 This sounds to me like a severe issue that somehow a lot of people in this community are suffering. Hope the best for all of you.
For me collecting also means that you reflect on each and every purchase. That you refine the selection. That you find your style, your type of watches and the structure of your collection. That takes time. At least that is how I see it.
