    Nice, but different collection! However in the core three I would expect one dressier watch with leather strap.

      I have a bunch of leather straps for the Omega. Now that colder weather is back I can switch to those.

      A nice brown or tan strap on the Omega is as dressy as most need.

    I’ve had many watches over the years. Sometimes I’ve had a watch more than once (Tudor Pelagos). I’ve mostly settled on these three. I have a few others that are in the mix but they will always probably make their way to a new owner in time. Really getting rid of the others offers me a way to experiment with something new. The Globemaster is as dressy as I really need. The JLC is the only chronograph I’ve kept longer than a year. The Blancpain was a gift to myself when I decided I was done with my dead end job.

    I have a blue globemaster and absolutely love it. It’s my only luxury watch at the moment - so it’s both my everyday and dressy. Never seen a white one irl - always felt it was a little too basic and bland, but something tells me you’ll disagree.

    Do you see the white globemaster as both a dressy and an everyday watch ? Any other thoughts ?

    Nice collection! I wish they made the bracelet on the 38mm Blancpain.

    Solid three watch collection.

    I have the same Polaris and recently ordered a brown leather rally strap. I have a few chronos on bracelets and figure the blue dial with a honey vintage leather rally strap might make it pop even more on those sunny car show days.

      Thanks. I need to find some good 21mm straps for it. I have one that kind of works but is a little short for my hulk wrist.

      True. I have a Casioak I wear at the gym that I could replace with a square one. I had an all metal square one for a while but didn’t care for the bracelet.

    Bathyscrape is the most elegant diver watch in my mind

      How is this bracelet? It is different from the one in the OP but looks nicer in my opinion.

    Very nice and much more interesting than the obvious alternative: Submariner, Speedmaster and Datejust.
