So, this is where we currently are (I'm a sucker for Seiko). I tend to gravitate towards more affordable as I work in the NHS and they pay me with Cadbury's buttons ... and claps on the doorstep (that reference may not work outside of the UK) 😁
There's some other bits and bobs I'm working on that may or may not stay in the collection...

A great collection doesn’t have to be all high end watches my friend, great collection love the Sieko Presage open heart 👍
I think your collection looks great. I tend towards the more affordable as well and would love most of these in my collection. I’m also originally from the UK😂👏.
Top collection 🍻
This one is particularly gorgeous 😍
That collection has something for everyone, except perhaps a pin pallet movement. It really has range. Some folks should look at this before they post a "what should I buy?" question.

Thank you kind sir. Much appreciated
Cool lineup buddy 😉
Perhaps the most interesting pictures I have seen so far on this forum! I'm a new collector but really like your choices. I only have one seiko so far, a scuba dude and a komanderski amongst a few others. Can I ask what the Casio is I don't recognise it? I have a Duro and a casio royale and a twin sensor watch whose name escapes me!
Needs more Seiko
Needs more Seiko
I was thinking that. Do they make a pin-lever??

I hope so

Cheers fella. The Casio I think you mean is this one...
It's an A168W. I swapped the standard strap for the NATO.
That Seiko kinetic is a wild one, but great choices all around!
Great collection with nice variety👍
The third “tray“ is probably my favourite - you got that nice Aquaracer, but the Oris‘s (Ori? Orisi? Orae? What is plural for Oris?) are quite interesting, along with that ocean Seiko and the Longines. No pin-levers in that tray.
Dude, awesome collection! One of the most varied and interesting I've ever seen. I mean, most of the time, us enthusiasts gravitate towards one type of watch, and then stick with what we're comfortable with - I include myself in that assessment, by the way - and end up with collections that look like this :
Nice house in your cover photo, by the way. Are you thinking of maybe doing a little renovation?

Thank you. The house does need a bit of work and the kids need shoes but the JLC Polaris comes first. 🤣

Actually sorry I meant the g shock? It wasn't one I recognised? Pics of my three casios so far!
I've got my eye on the mission impossible casio as well despite its ugly mug!

Thanks mate! Following you as we appear to have similar taste and I'm a long way ,if ever from some of the collection pieces some of the wealthier members are fond of posting!
Very spicy collection! Lots of great pieces - so much fun and personality in this collection 🔥🔥🔥
Great collection, love the Seikos and the Casio on the nato!

That is my favorite collection photo. I would get banned for using it on someone sensitive and then having a comment flame war with them.
Really excellent collection. I especially love the early Seiko Arctura Kinetic, although I’ve never owned one myself. If you ever decide to part with one of them, get in touch - I’m only across the bridge as I am based in Bristol.
