SOTC - BOTTOM 4

Post by Axelay2003 » Tue Jun 15, 2021 10:59 am

There are a lot of ballers in here. If you only have 4 and have posted your TOP 4 on another thread, no need to post here.

I’m just curious to see the members’ bottom 4 watches.
(Ones that are not on the cutting block…..yet.)

I’ll post mine after I get home today.

Update:

Again, no pictures, but:
Seiko Tuna Blue LE from a couple years back
IWC Mark XV
Omega PO 2500D
Fourth spot??? Not sure. I guess maybe a Garmin type sports thing.

On edit: this is a tough one since any true “bottom” watch gets sold.

by "bottom 4," do you mean "the 4 i never and have been meaning to sell for years?" or "the 4 i don't want to sell that i wear the least?"

Here are 2 "not legitimate" watches I also want to get rid of. Not legitimate cause they were gifts from well meaning people.

*sigh*

i really appreciate the broad concept of people doing that, but even my wife knows better (after making a mistake the one time she did it) than picking a watch she doesn't know i want. what she likes for me and what i like for me are not necessarily the same things.

I moved along anything that was not a Rolex or Tudor with the exception of the Breitling and a gold Hamilton dress watch.

My bottom four are going to be these oldies on straps. I don't have to wear a suit and tie anymore so these get little use:

My oldies on bracelet get sufficient wrist time.

Two that were not included in the Top 4, that I have no intentions of selling:

1. Image

2. Image

These next two I like a lot, but might sell them to try something else:

3. Image

Same watch but with SS bezel:

Image

4. And this one which I got yesterday, but it's the second time I own one (bigger than the SPB143, but I think is a nicer watch design wise... and it works well on my small wrist):

I only have four watches total, but I'd do 2 and 2.

Top 2 were my Explorer II's.

Bottom 2 are a Seiko NAFT (SRP777) - great watch for the beach or cycling or generally doing anything where I want a reliable, good looking beater; and a Brooks Brothers chronograph that has a very Patek vibe to it (Seiko quartz rebrand). I just bought the NAFT now that summer's here. I barely wear the chrono.

Current least worn (not including a couple of vintage that my Grandfather passed down)

B&R Type Marine gets worn the most out of these due to quartz and superb comfort.
BASM - what more needs to be said.
Terry gifted me the Eco diver when I designed the ToxicNATO logo for him. :love:
Alwayy will have an SKX in the collection.

Junghans Meister Handwound. also a gift from my wife. i don't dress up much, but when i do it's this or my grandfather's omega.
11670815634_54595fbc34_o.jpg
Vintage Zodiac Seawolf. still love how this looks, but i don't wear 35mm a lot.
9612850897_311461b826_o.jpg

four "non" worn that need to get sold.

Halios Seaforth. bought the pastel blue and don't wear this. especially after getting the sinn 556i blue.
APC_0828-hdr.jpg
Steinhart Ocean GMT. i liked it when i bought it, but really don't need a GMT and it just kinda faded away from wear.
IMG_4370.JPG
Ventus Mori brass. wanted to try out the fad. it was an inexpensive kickstarter. didn't stick.
IMG_5676.JPG
Maratac mid pilot. first auto i ever bought. i still like the klieg light lume, but it hasn't really floated my boat in a long time.

Other than the MM300 at any given time any of the others may be in the bottom 4.

Maybe I should buy another (fourth) Sumo so I can decide it's too long for my wrist and put it in my bottom four. Love that watch.

Since I only had 3 keepers in the other thread, I will go with 5 bottom dwellers in this one.

Some of these aren't exactly bottom feeders. For some reason, I like that big day/date CW. :grin:
