Just got into watches this year. Never thought I’d have this many. Definitely a journey but I appreciate each one. I’m always around water so I’m drawn to the divers. I never realized how fun watches can be with all the band options. Curious about what the community might surmise about me/my collection. Let me know what you think.

Also always looking for my next acquisition, open to suggestions. Prefer thin, good lüm, water resistant (>5atm), day/date optional.

Thanks for looking.

You’ve discovered you like black dial divers, now think about and find the best expression of it and save up, sell some of the black diver collection to fund it. You’ll be much happier with one superb version of it than a dozen mediocre ones. Believe us who have been at the beginning before. Welcome to the hobby, my condolences haha

What’s the id on the Timex on the right?

Pretty solid collection, you do have a lot of divers but if it’s what you like then go for it. Definitely get a cool strap for the Orient Diver on the top left.

I really like all your watches. I just don't like them all together. You're better off getting rid of 75% of your watches and saving for bigger, higher end purchases. Quality over quantity. Which ones you choose to keep is gonna be hard tho

Top pick: Skagen.

Just wanted to say awesome collection. Don't mind the haters

Which is the watch with orange dial?

[–] HK_Ootoot@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Not enough variety in my opinion. I’d sell off a bunch of those dive watches and replace with some more unique pieces

[–] belair1960@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Would u like to sell any please let know.

[–] thats0dd@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

that seiko on the apple watch strap is sending meeeee

[–] eli8man@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What watch is the strapless one?

[–] misterbb@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Which do you wear more - the eco drive citizen or the auto?

Come join us at r/seikomods, you have plenty of nh35-powered watches that it should make it easy to start modding! It’s a cheaper rabbit whole than just buying watches.

Also that skagen is cool.

FWIW I’m personally more about lots of cheaper fun stuff than one big expensive watch, less boring to me. I like building cool watches and hunting for cheap obscure weird stuff.

“When I was buying my watches, I used to enjoy getting different colors of my favorite model or a version from another brand. Over time, instead of buying similar models, I started to lean towards different ones. The monotony of the same models after a while led me to different models.”

Same watches different bands. Try colorful faces like those random ass watches you see on touch of modern

Looks like you took a “dive” into watch collecting. I like the strap offerings and combos.
