But recently, I’ve been thinking that perhaps, while totally fitting and appealing to me now, a Seiko Alpinist isn’t necessarily where I want to stop on my GADA journey. I have Swiss watches as well, but none of my watches feel as “right” to me for daily wear as my Alpinist. My GADA and daily wearer, which I mentioned often in my article about collecting Seikos, is a Seiko Alpinist SARB017 that I bought at an excellent price. Here, we have entries from Rolex, Omega, and others that bridge the gap between luxurious and capable. To me, that necessitates a certain luxury that other, more affordable GADAs - while perhaps just as capable - can’t compete with.
Today, I’m focusing on watches that truly can go anywhere (including formal occasions and along the progression of the owner’s life) and can truly serve as one-and-done choices. I’m talking about GADA (Go Anywhere, Do Anything) watches, a cult genre of watch feverishly pursued by many a watch enthusiast (myself included). This article is about watch collections in a way as well, except here, the focus is on watches that could serve as one-watch collections. This week is Fratello Collector’s Week version 2.0! We’re going to see a lot of content about personal collections, approaches to collecting, and other things multiple-watch-related.
