What Should I Get Next?
I have a mechanical drive watch and now I want a dive and aviation inspired watch that are also Mechanical to match. I have my top three picks for each but I can only pick one for the coming year. (I only allow one fun expensive buy for myself a year). So to make things easier I am asking you wonderful people which I should go for next.

I'll suggest aviation, because it's a category with a lot of variety.
I've found that pilot's watches combine the best of dive watches with the best of dress watches.
For example, my DS30 has 200m WR, comes in under 10mm thick, and is as legible as any diver's watch made.
I think you see dive watches a lot, but if you’re planning on getting both anyway, maybe go for the other one first to have something a bit different for a while.
First off I love you username. Thank you for your vote! I also like your idea of going counter to the norm.

That is a beautiful watch! Thank you for your vote and I’m leaning more to aviation!

There are so many options, in all price ranges. I love dive watches, but they tend to be very "samey" after a while.

I did notice that when I was shopping around. But I did like some that I saw purely based on color combination.
Fortis F-39? Looks awesome and 39mm👌 I believe this a a thick boy, but should be tolerable 😊
But you already had som picks.. Love the Hilton Khaki Pioneer Pilot too.
Aviation gives you something a bit more unusual. Go with it if its a comfortable fit for you. I’m a fan worldtimers, so this one is a bit of both:
