    One Year In -SOTC - One Has To Go

    I’ve been on the forum for just over one year. Back then I had my first mechanical watch, a SKX009 and now here I am with four.


    I like them all but one has to go. My son wants the Seiko so that leaves three contenders.

    The Partitio



    The Everest



    The Dynamic

    Well the Smiths and Omega are quite similar so I would say it’s a choice between 2
    And of those I would keep the Omega.

    I would agree with Sinnlover.

    Are you making room for something else?

    Nothing new. Or at least nothing planned. I bought two watches in quick succession after telling my self I was buying nothing more this year. I just ant to get my watch budget back in the black.

    The Everest or the Stowa. If the Everest stays I would change the bracelet or put it on a strap.

    Sell the Smiths to keep one white dial on leather and one black dial on bracelet

    I love that Omega, so would definitely keep it. And probably the Stowa too as it’s a bit different. Sell the Smiths, they fetch a premium now too ;-) (see SC)

    Thanks all for the feedback. I need to decide between the Smiths and the Stowa, but it is possible that both might be going.

    They're all different enough to keep, which is what you should do. I recommend eating beans on toast for a few weeks to get the funds back up. There's info here re beans. There you see, TZ is always here for you.

    I'd let the Everest go, to maintain variety.

    I like the Stowa in theory, but in practice I'd struggle to read it, not enough contrast between hands and dial for my liking. Keep the Omega, I had one a few years ago and with I'd kept it, they're a lovely little watch.

    I'd keep the Stowa, love syringe hands.

    Stowa gives your collection a bit of color and funk, if that is important to you. Omega stays. I guess that leaves the Smiths (there will be plenty of interest for that, including me)

    I couldn't decide, so going to let both the Stowa and the Smiths go. That is the good news. The bad news is I now think I need a vintage Omega Seamaster.
