As I see you’d like to stay below 5k I believe you can’t do better than a Black Bay. The BB58/54 would be a killer daily. Also the new BB Heritage in 41 looks awesome on the jubilee bracelet, I am waiting to see if they follow up the burgundy bezel with other color variants (not a big fan of red).

Yeah. They are basically fashion watches with somewhat poor QC and a bad reputation for long term performance. Also obscenely overpriced, like a decimal position overpriced. Stay away.

Looks like a solid choice. Citizen is a great brand and they are famous for their solar movements. Love the color too. Only doubt would be the dimension: from the photo it looks pretty big, if it’s too big it might be less versatile than you’d want from an only watch collection.

Absolutely stop putting it on a winder and go see a watchmaker, something is wrong with either the main spring or the escapement, possibly both. Magnetization has nothing to do with it, you’d notice the watch running several minutes faster per day.

It’s definitely in “business casual” territory, if you wear a tie as well I would avoid.

First and foremost: Jesus H. Christ what a bitch.

Secondly: Frankly, I would keep honoring the agreement and use the watches as the agreement still stood. Just use it without causing damage. If you tell the queen bitch (aka the wife), she’d sell everything like he 100% didn’t want to happen, so it would be disrespectful of his wishes.

Great selection, kudos. What’s the GS ref number? It looks like an Omiwatari to me but with a date wheel and the excellence star.

Cost of ownership looks minimal, I wouldn’t fret over it.

If you really need to trim down, I would eliminate #3 (ugly, in my opinion) and #4 (Pagani homage 🤢), the lady’s white Seiko next to the flightmaster and one between the 2 5KXs as they are too similar.

If you want to go nuts and go to a 3+1 collection, keep the quartz Citizen (#1), one of the 5KXs, the Flightmaster and one of the G-Shocks (they are both great choices)
