My 1st row, is Swiss watches only (from R to L):

1: Omega Seamaster 300 NTTD 007 on Ti: I love this was for subtlety. You low-key feel like James bonds because you have one of the most expensive seamasters on but it's so lokey that really no one is going to recognize it out and about.

2: This a Z series 116200 36mm Roulette Date, Concentric Dial Rolex Datejust. It's pretty hard to find it seems. I like it cause it an explorer mixed with a datejust with the cherry on top being the roulette date wheel.

3: Omega Speedmaster moonwatch 3861 hesalite: I love love love this watch. It's perfectly balanced on wrist, with the new bracelet, it lowkey gives me confidence just by the way the watch fits me. This also the only watch in my collection that is constantly recognized. I think this is the most well kno we watch in the world next to the Rplex sub.

4: Carter tank Must XL: I kind of got this because I wanted an iconic cartier. I think the tank is more recognizable and Iconic than the santos. I also consider this a good deal. It has the same movement in house movement as the santos (1847 MC) and even in their gold and diamond watch worth 20-30k. That being said, I want to sell this watch because I don't really use it. I don't wear it as an everyday cause it scratches to easy. It's not a dress watch to me because I never wear a suit and tie everything.

My 2nd row, is Japanese watches only (from R to L):

1: SBGA493: This watch is a US exclusive limited to 500 pieces. It was sold out before it went up for sale because of pre orders. I was able to get one after they were released for retail. I say after release because everyone on eBay and chrono24 already raised to the price to about $8-$9k. Retail being 6k. Money aside, RED DIALS ARE MY FAVORITE AND HARD TO FIND. When GS released this, I knew I had to have it. It's one of like 5 GS releases with both a red dial and spring drive. This is my EDC watch.

2: Seiko speedtimer SSC813: I actually really really like this watch. It's a chronograph 39mm. That's a really great size. And the watch feels high quality on your wrist by how thick everything is, in a good way. I love that it solar. I wish a manufacturer make quartz solar chrono with 3 sundials and one timing 12 hrs because the 24hr sundial is completely useless and stupid. Overall great watch. Highly recommend under $1000k

3: Casio G-Shock GW-5000U-1JF: This is a Japanese only release (JDM) model. It also has thier "new" model which is indicated by the U. It's saught after because its made in Japan, the case back is dlc SS and the resin is higher quality than say a 5610u. I bought this on Amazon for a good price and didn't have to pay any extra taxes or cost. As everyone says, this my SHTF watch. Love it. S tier. God level.

4: Citizen CA0650-58E: This was my first watch. My mom bought it for me at Macy's. It's a super-titanium case and bracelet with a sapphire crystal. You also can't really find this model online but this was makes me lowkey emotional because it was a gift from my mom (don't worry she's still alive and well lol) and it started my journey into watch collecting.

Okay finished. Side note the watch box is the WOLF Heritage 10-Piece Watch Box with Glass Cover.

So there's my collection, what do you think? What could be added and what needs to go? Thank you so much for your time, enjoy your day!

Love how many different boxes I see the seitona. Such a neat watch and in so many different collections. Picked it up earlier this week and really enjoying it!

[–] Chill_stfu@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How's the thickness? I've been eyeing it for a while, but a lot of seikos are too thick for me.

[–] beamerthings@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I have been wearing their GMT daily so compared to that it feels really slim haha.

As all things should be Thanos voice

Thanks

[–] Nagi--@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Clean and all rounded. Imo it's lacking a “fun” watch, probably one of Mr Jones watches?

[–] nevergirls@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Look at Projects Watches as well

[–] hope2c50@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Is that a brand "project"

[–] LucianGrove@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Some excellent watches, I personally like to see a few more colours and some brands that are a bit more off the beaten track.

My favourite there is definitely the GS.

[–] GuerrillaGarageSTL@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Both Omegas and the GS are my keepers. Then I'd take the money from the rest and grab something unique. Just my take. Great collection.

[–] AyoBruh@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I really like the uniqueness of that Datejust. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that exact configuration

[–] hope2c50@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There's onlyn2 on chrono 24 in this configuration. Pretty cool

[–] AyoBruh@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Very cool. Tim Mosso is the man.

I would definitely consider one if it ever came in 41, which I doubt will ever happen. 36 is too small for my wrist personally.

My daily is a 41 blue dial jubilee smooth

[–] Itsallgood190@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Ngl these collections are getting a little bit cookie cutter

[–] tjsi2@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

My dream collection right here. Seamaster and speedmaster over sub and daytona, I'd only want a white gold fluted bezel datejust as my grail rolex. Love the GS Spring drive, Tank, and mandatory Seiko and Casio. Citizen somehow feels out of place here, unless you keep it in rotation or it has sentimental value to you. 10/10 collection

[–] xenc23@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Nice collection. Another red dial watch you may like is the Omega Seamaster boutique edition in red. It’s got a great, deep fire engine red color that is pretty unusual to find on dials in my experience. Very classic design that makes it versatile across dress and somewhat less dressy occasions.

I bet on black days, you can't wait for date change to red.. nice collection

[–] hope2c50@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

YES. It's funny that you say that. Because everytime I see it black I'm like I can't for tomorrow so it's Red haha

[–] Osobady@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Top row= 😇

Bottom row= 🤮

[–] Disastrous_Fan3794@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Any Invicta over 55mm

[–] Distq@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Odd take but I just can’t get into “full” numerals on Rolex because of the logo placement. Seeing 11 and not 12 just feels weird. Otherwise great set

[–] Competitive_Low_8913@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Even if you stop now, i think you have a complete collection for life. I'd put a few watches on straps for varieties sake. Becaus everything is black/white except the gs.

[–] A2019AZ@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I feel like you could split your collection in half and still have two solid 4 watch collections

[–] PlantSkyRun@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Great collection.

Maybe replace the Tank with a Santos? The Santos can work with a casual outfit.

Or consider a GMT/Worldtimer... Frederique Constant Worldtimer, Nomos Zurich Worldtimer, Longines Zulu Time, or a Grand Seiko GMT.

Perhaps a Breitling B09 with the pistachio dial. Or a Top Time.

Zenith El Primero Chronomaster is another option.

[–] Optimal-Pineapple-10@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I think Tanks look dumb.

[–] cptjaydvm@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Really nice collection!

[–] lasttycoon@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I'd just add some color and some fun. You don't have a blue watch. You could get some playful watches next.

[–] Cheap_Rain_4130@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

That's a nice g-shock. I'm still rocking my 5600 from 1987, it's indestructible.

[–] eta2750@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Maybe try putting the Tank on a nice leather strap instead of bracelet and seeing how you feel? I personally love a smaller Tank with a more muted dial. Easier to dress down. A tank on bracelet always seems wrong to me haha, more of a santos thing in my mind.
