That's perfect for some sort of steam-punk cosplay

I don't know a lot about these watches in particular, but I think that the chronograph in the bottom left corner is the one that can suit most occasions. It can be dressy and it can be sporty, it has a cool complication but isn't too eye-catching.

Based only on these (superficial) parameters, I'd go for the chronograph. But, in general, I think you should buy the watch that you think you would wear more often than all the others.

I have more because I hate money

I love this way of putting it, I can definitely relate to your philosophy

I'll probably end up doing the same thing. My project is a three watch collection with:

  1. A semi-elegant watch with a day-date function (which I got recently) for everyday use;
  2. A dress-watch for - obviously - dressier occasions (probably going to get an open heart because I really like them);
  3. A digital watch (either a g-shock or one of the regular Casio watches) for riskier situations (mainly sports and going to the beach).

Getting anything more than that simply feels like too much to me. The only exception would be dress-watches since having more than one can be useful to make the watch match the dress.

I'm really sorry for your loss.

I think that, to keep yourself safe from any kind of lawsuit or legal trouble, the best option is to get the advice of a lawyer who's specialized in this area (inheritance and all of that).

[SOTC] Only been into watches since this summer. It's not much, but it's a start :) (alien.top)
 

I think I might have a type 😅

Right now my watches are (from left to right): a quartz Bulova Aerojet from my father's collection, a 1970s Seiko 5 from a random drawer in my grandpa's house and, last one I got, a watch I made myself with pieces bought on AliX (it wasn't meant to look like any watch in particular, I just looked around and got whatever looked nice).

This last one doesn't look exactly the way I thought it would from the pictures, but I put a lot of effort in building it and I love it even just for that :)

I think my next one will be either a mechanical dress watch or a diver (not really for swimming, I just think the bezel comes handy for tea-making and they look kinda cool now that I got used to them).
