Since the start of the channel, I've been hunting down a 3 watch collection. As of now, I've achieved it. I don't know if this time will come again, but these three are pretty incredible and make me consider what it would be like to bow out and just hold on to them.... who am I kidding? I'm an addict.

Your collection is spot on, every piece is not taking the place of another one, of course add a datejust will compete with your explorer and the use you do with it. A speedmaster is of course a must have if you have accointances for this design and you had it. Personally I’m closed to keep every watch I own … even it’s a more numbered collection 😊
Please do a video of how you re-brushed your pelagos! Thank you!
Check out my BB58 where I refinished it
Seconded
Yes especially the difference with Titanium
Yes. My Pelagos bracelet is thrashed after only 5 months. 😅
Great video. I love hearing stories about peoples' collections, especially if they are more disciplined than me! Your tastes are similar to mine. I also realized that you're also the owner of your pergola company. I had seen your videos and am in the market, but hadn't put your two hobbies together.
Wow, never seen that collection before. Very original.. Must be a really experienced enthusiast with a distinct taste of his own, no doubt.
appreciate the honesty of keeping things simple and making the hobby fun
I have a total of 12 watches and I'm looking to downsize to a 3 or 4 watch collection. One of them will definitely be the very same Tudor you have. That watch has just been tugging on my heartstrings since its release.
Excellent collection
Yes, would love to see a video of how you refinished the Pelagos bracelet. Thanks for this video. Good stuff!
Will do!
Fully support a 3-watch collection. I do 3 myself with 3 different german toolwatch brands. Just functional and nothing flashy which makes them great for everyday wear that never look out of place.
Good video, I appreciate the honesty and the fact that scratches do not bother you. So many channels with dudes complaining about regular use scratches. Nice three watch collection. Subscribed.
Appreciate it! I try to not beat them up on purpose, but some scratches mean it’s been enjoyed
I just added the Tank and my five watch collection feels complete. I wasn't going for a five watch collection, but I'm really happy with it and have a watch for all occasions and clothing and feels.
what are the other 4?
Nice mix and pretty much what I like too. Good job
Just found your channel, nice collection. My 3 currently, Speedy 3861, Santos medium in blue, and Grand Seiko Shunbun. Also have a JLC Geographic that I don't consider in my 3, as it'll never leave me. It was my wedding watch, so it's out of rotation except for special occasions with my wife.
Awesome collection - Field, GMT and a Diver. Covers just about everything you could possibly need. My three watch collection is an Omega Seamaster Pro Coaxial, Omega Speedmaster Professional, an a Sinn 556i. Similar to yours except I have a chrono instead of a GMT
I have also gone for a 3 watch collection. New green Seamaster, Nautilus 5726 and BB58 - perfect!
Great video! I’ve been collecting for decades and have gravitated to a 3 watch rotation including my Submariner, Speedmaster, and an open rotation third choice. This week, I wore my ‘77 Seiko 6309. This keeps me on the hunt for new additions.
I also have a Submariner and a Speedmaster... and if I had to get rid of the rest of my collection except one, I'd probably keep the Santos. I think they make for a great 3 piece.
@@patrickhennessy6531 well played sir! The Santos is a beautiful timepiece.
Wow! Awesome 3 watch set. My collection is a little more modest than yours but is built along the same lines. I have:
Seiko 5 SNK381k1 (field watch, but not impossible to dress up) worn on weekdays. 37mm width, wears well on essentially any strap. If I'm not doing rough work this is discrete, functional and looks good.
Vostok Amphibia (dive watch, gets very scuffed with the acrylic but I'm certain it'll never break) also worn on weekdays depending on what I'm doing. 39mm, stays on the bracelet or an OEM shark mesh strap. It's a real workhorse and with a 15 year guaranteed no service I have no issues running it hard.
Seagull 1963 (chronograph, and in my circles a fine dress watch) worn when I can keep it far away from scuffs. Inevitably it still gets them. 40mm, worn on leather exclusively. This one has significant sentimental value and has a real beauty to it.
And like you, there's a fourth sneak in there- a G-Shock DW-5600BB on an elastic strap for working out. I don't see a need to measure my heart rate, but a quick stopwatch readout visible in all light conditions something you can't get in a mechanical timepiece.
My main concern about stretching to something like a Pelagos or a BB58 is that I'd never take it off, and my 3-watch collection would quite quickly become a 1-watch collection!
You cannot beat the rugged durability of a G-Shock!Good choice!
I enjoy viewing your content because you’re an authentic watch enthusiast. I too am constantly thinking there’s a 3-piece collection out there for myself. Tastes keep evolving though…I suppose that makes it interesting!
I think the search never ends if you really get knee deep into the hobby. If you’re on the outskirts maybe, but not the obsessed people like us
Love your 3 watch collection, mine is so similar
Airking, polar 16570T and Pelagos 39
I envy u for being able to control ur warch collection w only 3 pieces. I am now at 14 and considering a new addition hoping to close it there 🙏
Very nice collection! Mine is Explorer 36 124270, IWC Mark XV (strap), and Tudor Pelagos FXD (daily)... also have the Air King 126900 for occasional weekend wear.
Great 3-piece. I'm in the process of transitioning my 3 watch collection. for the last year it's been my blue 41mm OP, my 1863 Speedy and my blue Planet Ocean tank. A couple weeks ago I had the unplanned opportunity to pick up both a black BB58 on leather (my preference for that watch) AND a 124060 Sub. So now, I'm moving my Omega's out to make room for the 2 new guys. So the new 3-piecer is a no-date Sub, BB58 and Oyster Perpetual.
It's hard to keep it consistent. There are so many others out there to experience. Enjoy and congrats on the new pieces!
Having a spreadsheet to track your rotation deeply spoke to me.
I have been all over the place with my collection size. After 8 years of collecting, I am down to 2 watches: a smooth bezel 2019 Datejust 36 and a Casio Frogman. The DJ is a special watch so it does not get worn that much now. It is engraved and lives on the bracelet.
The Frogman is the every day. I do not take it off. I play hockey in it, work on my car, etc.
I am looking at hitting the 3 watch mark with either a 12470 Explorer 36 or a similar era Submariner in the future.
From dress watches to field watches to divers, many Rolexs and Omegas and JLCs and Tudors and Seikos and IWCs, this is where I find myself. I could not have predicted it.
I am sure now that change is constant, the DJ remains for life and the Casio is a mighty and useful watch. I have enjoyed the ride.
-Michael
Awesome 3 watch collection.
My 3 are: 36mm Rolex Datejust with fluted bezel on jubilee bracelet (for those formal occasions), Omega Speedmaster 3861 sapphire sandwich (2nd most wrist time), and Pelagos 39 (my daily driver). Watches that I’d keep on the side (so technically no longer a 3 watch collection) are: Tag Heuer Monaco calibre 11, Seiko SKX013, and my Casio G-Shock Mudman. These additional 3 hold great sentimental value.
Kudos to you for keeping it down to just the 3 that you e picked!
Great selection, similar to my 3 watch collection.
Great video. Thank you for sharing 🔥
Awesome 3 watch collection! How do you get your hand on all the other watches for your channel?
Yes. Absolutely show us how the bracelet now looks and how you rebrushed it.
I admire your collection. 3 great watches.
Love your explorer 2 , beautiful 🤩. Wish they had used grade 5 titanium on the 39 . Other than that, a very nice 3 watch collection, congratulations mate 😎👍🏻😊
I looked into titanium alloys a bit since the Pelagos came out. Surprisingly many of them, but grade 2 and grade 5 are used for watches. Only grade 5 is harder than steel and can also be polished.
Awesome collection! 3 watches is a good spot to be at. You can get great watches since you are stretching the budget a bit more and you actually end up wearing them. My 3 watch collection right now is:
Black Bay 36: basically fills your Explorer role
Black Bay 58: fills your Pelagos 39 role
Grand Seiko SBGW231: dedicated dress watch
The only thing I’d change is maybe get an Explorer if I find a decent deal. Though the BB36 is only a year old vs an Explorer I’d get that would be 20 years old and be lower build quality all for more than twice the price. Not sure that’s worth it. I’d probably stick with the BB58. I love the gilt accents. I like the P39 but the clasp is way too long for my tiny wrist. The Grand Seiko I’d keep unless I found another higher end dress watch under 39mm with a similar look. The Saxonia Thin would fit the bill but that’s almost $20k so way too expensive for me lol. So I’m happy where I am now but who knows!
Awesome collection bro! I am spending so much time thinking about the infinite combinations of building a 6 watch collection I’m very tempted to just stick to a 3! The BB36 would be my everyday piece as well!
I (and probably most) would love to see a video on the re brushing of the titanium.
Stunning collection
Thank you!
Sharp collection! 👌
Thanks! 👍
Love that.
I want almost near the same.
I have a 124270, sbgn003 & I want a 226570 ⚪️.
Explorer can be anytime, the Sbgn003 will be everyday and the Explorer 2 would most likely be holidays, hiking, and sporting events. Mainly on a nato as well!
I look forward to having the Explorer monopoly like you - all the best and thank you for the video and great watch talk 🙌🏾
Wonderful collection! Subbed! 😊
Great video. My 3WC is the Rolex OP 41 - my every other day, the two-tone rose gold Rolex date just 36m - Dress watch, and Omega Seamaster diver 300 - Everyday. I have a few other in reserve, a Tag, Casio G-shock and will swap them in and out of my 3WC. - Ofcourse Apple Watch for gym and fitness. I sometimes double wrist.
Awesome to hear what you do! American manufacturing is important. I’m an engineer and had a machine shop on the side a while. Great collection summary too. I aspire to a few core watches, except I want to sample All The Things before I pare down.
Nice! Glad it struck home. Well said!
Killer collection!
Awesome content and collection. As an Omega guy - my three watch collection is the Speedy 3861 Hesalite, the SMP professional 300 white dial ams the Aqua Terra blue dial
Ahh that’s an awesome trio! I’d rock those three too if I had them!
I've basically got a four-watch collection. I have and additional three military watches I will never part with but only wear rarely so don't count them. Then there's four Seiko mods I made during the pandemic but I don't count them either for some reason. Plus a cheap AliExpress beater I also don't count. So it's twelve watches but with only four in regular rotation, so still think of it as a four watch collection, with eight hangers-on.
I couldn’t have chosen three better for a collection. You did wonderfully! That’s my first time seeing the Pelagos with the red lettering. Absolute stunner. Congratulations, and keep up the good work.
Thanks! It's a great watch. Will do
All geeked out now
Good vid Sir. I enjoyed :-)
you have 3 very sporty watches.. and all rolex/tudor.. intriguing. i was expecting a dress watch or a casio or a manual wind or something in there. my 3 right now are a casio 158, sinn 556i, and franck muller casablanca. (daily, weekend, dress), though i mix it up and dress down the fm sometimes.
I agree. I was expecting something broader but then again the guy is still young.
I have the 39 and the later version of the Explorer II, in Polar, I love both those watches, well I love all my watches which is a problem! I have the Ranger which is to field watches what the Pelagos is to divers. Such a perfect watch in so many different ways and fantastic value, honestly I pinch myself.
I love that Explorer II!
Fantastic video
I have many various quality watches, if i had to make a choice i would choose my Tudor Pelagos as my favorite watch, its a stunning watch on my wrist 👍
Love it, pretty similar to my near future collection: 16570 black, Datejust 36 mint green and Pelagos 39😊
Very close! Just a datejust in for the explorer and a dial change. I like the three!
Great vid Harrison. If you took sentiments away and were forced to pick just 1 of the watches based solely on versatility and practicality which one would you keep? As you know I also have the Polar and I struggle to see it as an everyday piece, it wears great but with the white dial and fancier looking bezel I'm just afraid of getting it scratched. I constantly find myself wanting to sell it and get the 14060M, I love black dials and with the more utilitarian looking bezel I know I won't be afraid of using it all the time. I feel like this Rolex is wearing me instead of the other way around, and I hate it.
It’s possible. After a bit of testing and trialing, I arrived at a final collection too. The key is having NATO straps and rubber straps to change it up. I haven’t had the itch anymore.
Dang it. I have the itch.
My 3 piece is similar but I wear them different.
Tudor BB GMT and Seiko Diver are the 2 daily wears with the Explorer as my weekend/dress piece. Much easier to reset the Explorer than the GMT.
If the GMT had a lume pip on the bezel I probably only have a 2 piece collection.
For now I have a 2 watch collection with a 42mm black explorer II and a gmt master II Pepsi. I’m not sure where to go from here, I would love a grand seiko but I also really like 2 tone everose Wimbledon. Any suggestions ? I just got the Pepsi and it was my grail but I haven’t built a connection with it yet like I built with the explorer.
Mine is: Tudor black bay 36, omega seamaster diver 300m and the burgundy JLC reverso small seconds.
Got the bb36, will have the seamaster very soon, and the JLC will come in probably 10 years 😅
My 3 daily watch collection in 2023, 1/ Rolex explorer 39mm (my favorite watch) I have seen your video to strengthen my confidence to buy, 2/Seiko (SSC817) love the solar power movement, 3/ Mido Ocean star 200.(grey).
Great collection. My 3 are: Breitling Superocean II 42 (like your Pelagos) Sinn 556 A RS ( your Explorer) and Aqua Terra 41 white dial on grey rubber strap, which is my weekend fun watch (your Explorer II). Starting in 1994, I had 3 different Datejusts over the years as my one watch collection. I got rid of the last one sadly just before the Rolex price boom. 😡 Then I started diversing to other brands…
Great 3watch 👍 nice to see and hear someone who had similar taste and thought about watches 😉😅 I still didn’t got Explorer 1 - my favorite watch over all but anytime I tried I feel they small especially last version🥺 I’m looking 39mm but still didn’t find good offer for it. My friend bought for me pelly 39 a year ago but because of that horrible war 🇺🇦 I can’t go to take my watch eat. So at now my favorite 3 watches is gmt2 Coke, OP39 rhodium and PelagosLHD I believe after I got Pelly39 the can replace LHD but I’m really not sure to be honest- to different this watches LHD is awesome warm tool watch and Pelly perfect everyday desk diver so can be 4 favorites 😅 and I love very much my FXD beautiful weekend watch… we are crazy 😅😂
You’re in luck, Rolex just released a new 40mm Explorer 2 weeks ago🎉
I personally prefer and own the 36mm. Both, the 114270 and 124270 (hope i got the numbers right). I actually purchased the old 36mm just one month before they reintroduced that size and then the value dropped😅
My goal it's to downsize mi collection into a 6 watches for now. But I think 4 are the perfect number to have a healthy nice rotation. Your collection it's almost perfect for me, I'd only add the Moonwatch sapphire.
Nice! Enjoy. I don’t see the need to criticise as it’s your personal collection. Ignore the haters. Mine is 2/3 complete - Grand Seiko Snowflake, Rolex Yachtmaster Rhodium acquired and all that’s left is a JLC Reverso Duoface 😊
I have 25 watch’s. 5 high end. I really wish I had stopped at one.
Would love to a video on your brushing method
The 22 mm tropic rubber strap would work well on a 21mm watch . I tried it many times .
Any regrets on parting with the speedmaster pro? It was my first dream watch but when I got it , I got an itch to sell it.
Have you tried the eraser method for removing scratches on the Pelagos ti bracelet?
Great three. I doubt I’ll be able to limit myself to three - five or six, maybe.
Very good 👍
For the Pelagos, the case size is actually not smaller than 39. It's 39mm, and with the bezel overhang, the watch is closer to 40mm.
Nice collection!I just picked up the Tudor GMT (PEPSI) myself.
Very nice! Enjoy it!
Thanks,Mr.WristSwap.
How do I contact you?
Seikos… most of them are at or below 1k, tons of followers and you can sell them without taking a big hit after wearing/reviewing them. On top, they release about one limited edition/week. That will keep yoi busy, entertained and will give your channel more content
What’s your opinion on having only one watch? I ask this because my grandfather gifted me his speedmaster and I look forward to continue wearing it through my twenties and build up memories with it. With more than one I feel that you can detach yourself from a greater relationship with it. Ether way, of course I have my eyes on other options but also I want to play the long run game. As always, great video!
Great story, and lucky you! I dont think you would detach your self from it if you wear other watches. I still have the watch my grandfather gave me too and I wear it sometimes but I wouldnt let it stop me from enjoying other watches. Also have in mind that vintage watches dont make great daily wearers, as they are more delicate and spare parts are harder to source.
Nice acquisition! You can wear the Speedie 90% of the time and for intensive labor, working with water, cutting grass or similar, just get the basic Casio DW5600 or similar. Technically a two-watch collection, but I'd say justified.
I used to have between 1 to 9 watches for the last few years. I've just consolidated most into one watch, my exit watch. A Speedmaster. I'll still keep a Protrek as a hiking/beater watch. I couldn't be happier to finally stop looking and trying to scratch the itch.
Juan I personally really like the thought of one watch, maybe two if you have a g shock or something for knocking around in. I will say I don't think owning another one will detract from that relationship. I wear two watches 98% of the time but I have two boys so one will go to each of them.
Cherish that Speedy, even if you get another watch those memories will always be there when you put it on again or look at it in a case. Grandfather has good taste!
To a watch lover a one watch collection is a unicorn. A lot of us wish we could be there. Most collectors are never satisfied, it’s all about finding that one that catches our identity, that elusive grail watch, or the watch we are sentimental about/built history with. The elusive the hunt and dopamine rush we get with a new watch is what makes it hard to keep a small collection. You have one of the best watches in history with the greatest sentimental value you can ask for. I’d wear that Speedy as much as you can! Build your own history with it. Just keep it away from water and rough situations. Buy another watch for that. But spend some time picking that watch something you really like, that is comfortable and the right size for your wrist. I’d recommend a G-shock or a Diver watch. Hopefully you’ll be done there.🤞
Solid set...probably wouldn't pick-up more unless I sell one!
That's my system, anyhow...keeping it simple and I don't get buyer's remorse!
You will find it will always get boring, mostly because of attainability!
You want to collect something better, rarer...buy art!
Doesn't the 39 come with a complimentary strap? I'm curious why you chose to use an aftermarket one instead.
Unfortunately I can not keep to a 3 watch collection. At the moment my collection is 5. Probably going for a round 6 number soon. The reason I like to change it up on the style and the colour and what my mood takes me. I found 3 not able to do this. Rolex Kermit (2008), Yacht master 40 blue dial, Date-just 41 black dial fluorescent bezel jubilee, OP 41 green, Bat girl. And also there are so many nice watches available. I have owned omega watches in the past. Tudor have some nice new watches that have just been released.
You have a superb 3 watch collection - field, GMT and Diver. Well done. If I had to reduce my collection down to 3 watches, I would sell everything else and keep these 3: my 36mm Explorer, my green dial OP36 and my Tudor BB58. Field, dress and diver. However, I would also keep my G Shock DW5600 as my beater and my smartwatch for tracking my daily exercise. See how difficult it is to get down to 3!
Thanks! That' a pretty solid 3 pieces!
Guys, stop tracking the exercising progress! The results will be seen in the mirror, on the scale and on the better mood. Did athletes have tracking devices 20-30 years ago?
Nice collection. My collection is almost identical I own a Explorer 1 36mm (114270), OP36 green dial, Explorer 2 polar (16570). I used to own also a BB58 blue, but it didn't get enough wrist time so I sold it.
@@SurfThomasVD Thanks. I also own a Starbucks Submariner, and while I love owning it, the Tudor is far more comfortable to wear. So I would sell the Sub and make some $ and keep the Tudor if forced to only own 3 watches :)
Watch snobs typically don't consider Apple watch as a true watch, you are excused from having one Apple watch and not counts towards your 3 watch collection 😀
Nice 3 watch collection! Mine is Tudor BB58, Rolex GMT Batgirl & Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra green dial. Might swap the last one for an explorer 1 not really sure yet.
Great three piece, got the Trifecta of Rolex Omega Tudor and three great choices from each brand
I like the idea of a 3 pc collection.
1.) Breitling Super Ocean 42. Blue dial, big 6/9/12. Always just liked this one. Best logo in the game hands down.
2.) Oris 65, (65>58). Light, comfy, great taper, blue dial, faded applied markers, fully graduated bezel for accurate relative timing functions,
3.) my 3rd watch is 6seikos. Sarb035, Alpinist017, Navigator gmt vintage, spb317, skx 009/007.
ah yes, the perfect 8 watch, 3 watch collection
@@diemes5463 hahaha
I have a similar 3 watch collection minus anything in the realm of your first two. Saving that $ though!
Well done 👏 not an easy feat. If I exclude my 7 Seiko's I'd have only 3. Please do the polish video. I re brush my stainless steel with Scotchbright.
I had the "Perfect" 3 watch collection with my Nomos Watches. Then one day... I got an itch... now I am content with my 7 watch collection (4 Nomos, 2 Rolexes, and my Speedy). I am still fighting the urge for more... 😅
I still have a long ways to go! I started with a Longines Oposition but I gave that to my oldest son. Then I bought a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chronograph which I thought would be my one watch but just started the itch. I actually want a 4 watch collection but only because I want to keep the Tag. My next watch I want it to be an Omega SMP 300 in blue. To me it's the most amazing watch that I can actually aspire to buy one day. Next is another Tag, yes another. The Tag Heuer Aquaracer orange diver. I just love orange and Tag, despite what people say, to me is a beautiful watch. Yes, quality matters but a) I cannot really afford the level of quality I want and b) I want something on my wrist I can look down and say "wow I like this". The final watch is a "Pepsi" Orient "Kamasu 2". I know Orient didn't name their new movement watches Kamasu but it really it's like the natural progression. I want that to travel. If I ever lose it or break it, I know I can buy it again. If I have the budget to fully complete all the watches I have seen that I could get that would be expanded to a Mido Oceanstar Titanium and the newest Rolex YM, but that is the one I don't know if I will ever get to get due to the price.
I have almost the exact same spreadsheet, lol.
Haha we may have a problem…
Nice big wrists. No chronographs?
1:48 we got a hair with a watch around it!!
I’ve been looking at the longines spirit lately, I’ve got a thing for field watches lately. Would not want to wear a Rolex in London if I had one, lots of watches being stolen at the moment. The newish tag heuer 40mm diver is a nice cheaper option.
I keep thinking about having a 3 watch collection but I just can’t bring myself to sell some, even ones I don’t wear often - it’s tough! I wear mainly my El Primero or my BBR and keep toying with selling all my others, buying either an Explorer 36 or Santos to make my 3 watch collection and giving me some cash for other things. I do think any collection number should be ‘+1’ though, the plus one being a GShock. No watch collection can ever be complete without the obligatory G Shock - GODTIER, 😂 So my 3 watches would be Zenith El Primero, Tudor Black Bay Red (original ETA I got in 2015 for my 40th) and either an Explorer/Santos plus my GShock. Will it happen? Probably not, I’m more likely to keep everything and add an Explorer and Santos - no self control 😂
I’d like to see a video on how you polished your bracelet btw
Why does the very start sound like an AA meeting 😂 I love this hobby
Haha Hi I’m Harrison and I’m an addict…
Did you sell the rest of your collection or was this more of an experiment?
thinking of a chronograph or dress watch?
I’ve found a 9-12 watch collection is ideal for my needs.
I’m thinking about
1. tank must
2. mint datejust on the jubilee
3. speedmaster professional
Any opinions? I know it’s very mainstream, but it’s what I love, and I’m very picky.
I’m pretty new to watches and I’m a bit of a minimalist, I don’t buy many “things”. I feel like these would probably stick with me for at least a decade, might buy and sell in the future, but I don’t intend to have a dozen watches at any point.
You need a dedicated dress watch. Work, Rest, & Play. It seems like there is a ton of overlap in your collection honestly. You got "play" with that Tudos Diver. The other two honestly are One-Watch watch collections in and of themself. They don't really do work, rest, or play to the extreme. A full on dress watch would cover "work", and a "rest" watch could be something lighter on a nato strap, which that white dial rolex might fit into, or a nomos maybe. just my 2 cents. But the first watch, the one you said you wore to your wedding, thats a one-watch watch collection that does both work and play well enough on its own.
My three watch collection (currently)
1. Rolex Explorer 36mm
2. Rolex DateJust 36mm, Palm Motif
3. Tudor Black Bay 54
Explorer is the everyday.
DateJust is the casual/dress watch.
Black Bay is the beater watch.
Thinking about Tudor P39….mixed thoughts
I am searching for an oyster bracelet for my tudor date day 36mm. Anyone has suggestions?
My 3 watch is the Cartier santos for 2 tone for dress, the oris Williams stainless steel for work which I have best to hell and that I wear everyday, and the Tudor root beer for weekend and going out
I have the large Pelagos in blue. It came with 2 straps. I never change them. I actually could have bought a sub at retail and didn’t buy it, because I don’t flip watches, didn’t need another Rolex and the Pelagos is such a great diver.
Yeah I agree. Hard to want another diver after the pelagos
my next target will be pelagos 39. it looks very solid.
Very nice collection. All are absolutely beautiful. It’s nice see others aside for myself show so much love and passion for the watch community. Great video.
I’m operating a 4/5 watch collection. And swapping in the P39. Ask me what!
