When you have a sweetspot...(mini SOTC update)

Yesterday I was making some strap changes now that the weather is cooling and with some decent natural light in my office decided to take a few pics. I don't think I quite realized how my collection had evolved.  At one point everything I owned was 100m WR and 40mm and now I have a really nice assortment between 36 and 38mm and with the exception of the quartz GS, all time only. 

I do have three other watches which don't fall into this category, all being 40mmm (and currently on orange straps for some reason), that I love as well, but the 36-38mm watches really feel best on the wrist to me.  

All told I have more watches right now than I've ever had at any one time and frankly I'm a bit uncomfortable with the size/cost of it, so I probably need to make some cuts (have one of them currently for sale, but I'm not being very aggressive trying to move it), but I do really enjoy all of these.

Thanks, I'm sitting on quite a stockpile of 18mm straps in particular, so there is no shortage of options.

super tasteful collection. congrats!
The THE HUMBOLDT shines on the strap, mirrors and complements the dial - second hand color contrast and proportion, but flipped. 
I very new to watches, so I dont recognize the leftmost B&W minimalist dial and hands piece.

Thanks, the the Erika's original strap on the Humboldt is one of my favorite combinations.

The leftmost watch is a Ming 17.09.  The color is a bit muted, but the dial is actually a deep burgundy.

Wow - beautiful.  I have the cream dial version of the QZ GS at far right, and I love it (bought it used, shame on me I don't know the ref #).  It's my travel watch, love the jumping hours.

I also have the baby blue version of your three hand limited edition GS, was very close to pulling the trigger on a ming, and have a tangente 35mm that I was very close to trading in for the new ahoi atlantic.  Love your style, @TimeEQ !

Sounds like you have great taste! It is a fantastic travel watch. I had been looking for mine for 4 years, just waiting for the one that was the right condition and cost and finally found it this past summer. The cream version is the SBGF007 https://www.theseikoguy.com/watches/sbgf007/

Very cool. Love your collection my friend. Always been attracted to the Weltzeit but felt they were just a bit too big for me.
