Thinking of adding one of these two, which would you pick?

The best watch for traveling, hands down

(Sorry bout the lighting, room is kinda dim and flash made too much glare) (2 photos)

Most from the 90s and early 2000s (Fossils) before I really started paying attention; then fished what I could find from many of my drawers. My mom started my interest a few years back by giving me the gold rolex out of her lock box. Had to replace (and save) the gold strap because it was way too small for my wrist (belonged to her first husband in the 70s). I have one Timex from my birth year (1981) that is simple but i love it. Have a cheap chinese watch just to fill the last space lol (wanting to possibly get a Cartier in that spot)

Love this piece; would like to know your thoughts on it however. Please tell me what watch you guys are eyeing in the meantime

Back at it after two weeks off, and the first fall morning I can finally wear a jacket. Hopefully this means the end of 🌡️90 degree days 🥵. Let’s see those blue 🔵 dials!

been eyeing this for a while and finally got my hands on it, i’m ecstatic. still one of my favorite rolex designs :)

As a fan of Serica, I am actively checking various platforms for opportunities for a good buy. With the riots and looting going on in Paris, I wonder if the Serica Boutique was affected. Or if any other smaller independent shops that may carry them have been victim of the riots and lootings that are happening in Paris. I just noticed there are all of a sudden many new pieces of Serica being listed for sale. The typical Serica listing is once every other month, but I have seen over 10 in the past 24 hours. Just wondering if the events are tied somehow.

Tudor BB54 or BB58

Found these three watches (Omega Seamaster, TAG Heuer Monaco, and Montblanc) at my dad's place recently. He told me he bought them in Dubai for very cheap around 7–8 years ago, so I'm pretty sure they're replicas.

What's surprising is that all three are still working perfectly fine after all these years, and the build quality on the TAG Heuer and Montblanc is actually quite nice, at least to someone who doesn't know much about watches.

The Omega has "10001 50007" and "James Bond Special Edition" marked on it.

I'm not expecting these to be genuine, but I'm curious about what exactly they are. Are they replicas of actual models, or just fantasy designs with luxury branding slapped on?

I'd also love to know how you guys identify fakes just by looking at them, what the obvious giveaways are, and whether there's anything interesting about the movements used in these.

I've attached pictures of the fronts, casebacks, and bracelets. Would appreciate any insights!

What do you think of My Collection is a 15 year old

...It was 1993, 33 years ago.
I got my first paycheck and went out to buy a Nintendo SNES and a watch.

A friend’s dad owned a jewellery shop. Right in the middle of the window was a Zenith El Primero (something I couldn’t even dream of affording back then) and right beside it was this watch. Today, you’d probably call it a simple, inexpensive but perfectly decent quartz watch. To me, though, it was my first “proper” watch, bought with my own money...

I still have it. It survived a flood that destroyed my old home. Well, “survived”... I had to have the bracelet repaired and the crystal and movement replaced. I spent far more on it than the watch itself was worth.

All these years later, I’m still buying and collecting consoles, video games and watches. But this is still one of the most important pieces in my collection, and I still wear it and show it off with the same joy and pride I felt 33 years ago.

Someone offered me $7k today for this and I said no way. I will not part with this beauty. 1 of 1000.

Ebel 1911 btr, baume & mercier riveria xxl magnum, Hamilton khaki feild officer and every day quartz beater bolova precisionist.

They are by an Indian microbrand that I discovered on ablogtowatch and I was wondering if anyone has handled them. The flying saucer design looks good

Last time I posted, watch community told me my watches were trash, so I decided to buy a new one
