The second quarter of 2025 has been a fantastic quarter. I have managed to find some rare watches and at the same time witnessed a strong finetuning of my watch collection with a focus on Rolex Prince and the Rolex bubbleback series and a happy "upgrade" of my old watch with new old stock dial.
In addition, I have also found another Chinese watches with unique functions such as the Seagull moonphase watch and focused on vintage complications watches. However, I have gave in to the temptation in forming a new series of vintage Coca Cola advertising watches made by various brands.
For the coming quarter, I have decided to bring down the number of watches in phases and I have started phase 1 to streamline away my non core watch collection such as the Non Rolex watches, and 34mm size Rolex etc.
My core collection consists of the Rolex Prince series, Rolex big Bubbleback, semi bubbleback and normal bubbleback, Day Date, Datejust and Rolex Sports, PP & VC, Military watches and some chronographs plus some miscellaneous (which is still quite wide). I have tried to reduce duplication of watches as part of my streamlining exercise.
