    Congrats. Loved the selection, you have an option for almost any scenario. I would just add a g-shock so you can have a rugged watch

    I have that Orient Kamasu diver. Already looking to level it up with a super sea wolf Zodiac, Tag aquaracer, Certina DS Action Diver , a CW C65 Aquitaine Bronze, or just say F it and save a little bit and get my grail diver an Omega seamaster and not worry about upgrading again.

    ​

    One thing I did when I started I wish I didn’t, was buy up a crap load of these ~$500 watches that are just…not very good. I didn’t know what I liked, what to look for and just made mistakes that I paid for when I took losses selling them all off on FB marketplace. I had 8 watches, now I only have that Kamasu, Seiko Dolce, and a Sinn 556 that I bought from selling all the junk off.

      I think you’re right, and I’ve been told the same thing by other watch enthusiasts but really I wear watches as a way to express myself, as of right now I’m not in the market for any chronometer certified or very mechanically advanced watches. If I see a Casio and think, wow that’s a beautiful watch” then I know it’s right for me, and I know that even the biggest watch collectors still have a little love in their hearts for a seiko 5 so I feel pride in my collection so far because they do a great job of representing me and who I am

    The Grand Carrera is beautiful! I’ve been considering getting one if I can find a good example for a good price.

    I’m a firm believer every watch collector should have a Seiko and a citizen, so you’re on the right track. Wearing my Seiko 5 now as I type

    Excellent box. When you go to college, sell off all of them except the Orient and the Casio F-91 and use the cash to buy your 3rd. Good times.

    I’ve been collecting for almost exactly a year now, so I figured I’d share my collection here. The Tag and the Nixon in the back were my dads until they broke(Tag)/stopped working(Nixon) I got both working again and now I just keep them on display. It’s been an amazing year but now that my box is full I think I’m gonna put collecting on hold for a little while🥴.

    Great collection!, recommend that you look for more SEIKO watches, you can never go wrong with a SEIKO, they are absolutely beautiful (the Presage collection is my favorite).

    Love that Seiko bottom left with the white dial/Arabic numerals. What is it? I’d love to find one for myself. Also love the diver right above it.
