I have made several posts since joining but I have not introduced myself yet. I started collecting watches in 2004 and I've been hooked ever since.

The first watch I ever purchased was a Relic. However, I didn't start collecting until a few years later when I purchased an Invicta. They were the watch brand that sucked me in. They definitely do not make the same type of watch that they did 20 years ago and sadly I do not own any Invicta's to date. I later purchased a Swiss Legend and Magico watch because of ShopNBC. It sort of snow balled from there. As you can tell from my list I did all my early watch shopping on ShopHQ.

Here is a list of different watch brands I have purchased and worn:

Relic
Invicta
Swiss Legend
Magico
32 degrees
Android
Aragon
Renato
Glycine
Torgeon
Gevril
Hamilton
Certina
Alpina
Mido
LIV
Boldr
Christopher Ward
Davosa
Islander
Zelos
Zodiac

I might be missing one or two brands but that's pretty much my list. I would like to ask you guys what watch brands you think I should try next? Keep in mind I haven't purchased a quartz watch in 3+ years now. I just don't care for them. Or warn me against a certain brand if you like

Here are some brands I haven't tried but have had my eye on:

Longines
Squale
Yema
Tissot
Armand Nicolet
RADO
Bell & Ross
Ball
Oris
Monta
And a Seiko (still can't believe I haven't purchased one yet)

Welcome! I have seen you lurking. I believe a lot of us got hooked into SHOP NBC and it all started from there as it did for myself. I no longer buy from TV. I own a few of your untried brands(and tried) and like them all. Glad you came out. Post often and enjoy the ride.

Thank you! I originally found this place because of the Aragon forum, but when it comes to watches I'm always looking for the next watch. I value the opinions of people who post on this site.
 
Welcome!! Your start is probably similar to many of us here. Glad you introduced yourself. Some really nice brands in your current and future lineup.
From the future list I'm pretty fond of my Squale. Enjoy your time here. :shake:

Welcome... Sounds like you are well on your way in the watch world... I highlighted a few that I would be looking at... Nothing wrong with any you've listed.

The quest of wrist art is a work in progress.
Wrist creativity never ends, it just grows, as an artist, on new creations and growth.
Stay with it and enjoy the ride.
 
Welcome to the show. Clearly Seiko should be your next purchase, such a historic brand. The beauty of Seiko is you can buy high or buy low. They really do have something for everyone. The other brand I noticed on your want list is Longines. I just purchased my first Longines a few months back (Hydroconquest 43mm) and I have to say I'm quite impressed (took me a while to save up the coin for this one). To the point where if I had to thin the herd to just one watch that would be it. Welcome aboard and enjoy your watch journey and your time here

I was actually wanting to save up for Longines Spirit Zulu Time (I still want one). However a Zodiac meteorite watch sucked me in and I ended picking it up instead.
