Piece of advice: If you are prone to obsess over dumb hobbies (like cars) do not get started with watches. They are like crack, but more expensive.

Yeah, watches can become a real obsession. Which is why I limited myself to only buying watches that are on sale...

I’m trying to avoid buying a cheap Seiko on Amazon because I just know it’s going to be a ridiculous gateway drug.

Don’t join Massdrop either. You’ll find yourself requesting drops left & right and before you know it you’ll have a watch on its way to your front door.

I don’t even know what Massdrop is. Now I’m curious...

Me too. A month ago I had one watch, the Seiko on the far left. Then I bought the Citizen while drunk on a cruise ship. Other Citizen was on sale for $100. The Orient and Green Turtle I bought used. G-Shock I paid full price, but I just HAD to fill up my box. I’m happy I didn’t get a bigger box.

That is the reason I keep my watches in their original boxes, so I don’t have box space that needs filling, haha.
Nice line-up though!

Ok, how do you like that Citizen? Is it really large and thick? I’ve been obsessed with it since you showed it...

Still dig it. It’s got a nice weight to it, feels substantial on the wrist. Here it is with the rest of my small collection for comparison. I would say it’s most comparable to the Turtle in weight and feel.
Thing is, I may be swapping it out soon. I found another watch to take its spot. I love the Citizen Eco-Drive, this new watch is quartz which I’m not so stoked on.

Wow, that’s pretty!
I had an Ecodrive many moons ago. I loved it.
