I’ve been scrolling through the posts in this community for a bit, and something keeps standing out to me. Everyone here has a different taste in watches — some love divers, some love dress pieces, some are into affordable beaters, others go deep into movements and complications — but the one thing we all seem to share is the story behind why a watch matters to us. It made me realize something: For most watch lovers, the piece itself is only half the reason. The meaning is the other half. Sometimes it’s the first watch you bought with your own money. Sometimes it’s the piece that marks a milestone. Sometimes it's the one that made you fall in love with the hobby in the first place. I’m curious about something, and I’d genuinely like to hear from the people here: What’s the watch that means the most to you — not the most expensive, not the rarest — just the one that carries a story? Share it if you’re open to it. I feel like we’d get some great conversations going.

This my present collection. Some of these such as the Vincero's in the second drawer are out of catalog so I have a name but no other identifier. The majority are Quartz the exceptions are the Seiko-solar and the Vostok's- mechanical. So, the list is left to right top to bottom. Vostok-Komandiarskie, Casio DW-5600Eiv, Invicta Pro Diver Model 47611, Seiko 1D2059 (out of catalog), Vencero- chronographer. Second tier- Vostok-Boctok, Casio-A158W, Coming Soon, Vencero-Kairos with a bracelet, Vencero-kairos with a leather strap. Drawer- Vercero-Altitude, Vencero-Tachymeter, Vencero-Rouge.

The ring reminds me of a bright and shiny penny.
