OT: Any wristwatch junkies on here?

[PRIDE]

My two favorite watches are my Tag and Citizens.

Comfortable fits and look nice.

I have a nice Breitling night watch but prefer day wear watches.

Anyone have any garmin watches? If so, what are your thoughts on their functionality?

I'm looking at the garmin fenix 7/8 for heart rate, calorie, sleep, and step tracking. Probably won't use a majority of the features but I'd like to start getting better data inside and outside of the gym.

Think it also includes additional functions like sleep score and stamina/endurance potential

A steel sub is still one of the hardest watches to get.

I got my 114060 used but unworn for slightly under retail (820,000 yen with 10% tax included) when Covid hit and people panicked.
Probably my best pickup for the money ever. Second best will be my pair of Tudor Date-Day Princes.

This is probably my favorite in my current collection. Salmon dial IWC 3227. 200 set to be made, only 100 produced. Never selling it.

IWC Ingenieur, great piece!

I've had a couple of Rolex Daytonas full rose gold with chocolate faces. Currently wearing an Apple Watch

My father has an ultra rare Rolex Submariner COMEX from the 1980s. He was a commercial diver (now a supervisor) and worked for COMEX at the time.

Appreciate the feedback man. I just ordered one as well (the black Friday deals were too good to resist). I'm actually very much looking forward to it.

I already do a good bit of cardio, but I'm hoping it helps take me to the next level. I want to become more rounded with the running, biking, training. Maybe do a couple of triathlons, 10ks, maybe even workup to a half marathon in the distant future

Not sure if you’ve tried to buy a Rolex recently from an AD but it’s a shit show of playing favorites and making you buy 1000s in jewelry to be “worthy” of buying a Rolex from them.

The days of stupid mark-ups are long gone. I just picked up a brand new, fully stickered Starbucks for only US$1,000 above retail.

My closet has a couple of those massive watch boxes too—half of them probably weigh more than the watches themselves. Like you, I always wear a watch no matter what. Even if smartphones make them "unnecessary," there's just something about the feel of a good timepiece on your wrist.
Your collection sounds amazing, and I totally get the appeal of finding a piece like your CW Trident GMT that ticks all the boxes. I had a similar moment with a patek philippe calatrava replica I picked up a while back. It was my introduction to classic designs, and honestly, it gave me a real appreciation for the elegance of their style.
