Vintage-style diver on leather?

I've personally been looking at the Seiko SNE573 - it's a 38mm solar quartz diver with some Sub-like design cues, but has its own personality as well.
I have personally settled on a "high-low" strategy, and it's worked for me for a few years now.
Basically, I only buy:
Grail-level watches. Pieces with impeccable quality and brand that almost anyone would love to own. Very low chance of disappointment, and even if I am they'd be easy to resell. A good example would be my JLC Reverso.
Fun affordable watches. My definition of affordable is basically: if I don't end up liking the watch, I wouldn't feel too bad about giving it away as a gift rather than reselling it. For example: my older G-Shock Mudman. If it's automatic, it has an NH-3x or Miyota 8xxx, so servicing is just a cheap movement swap.
It looks like most of your collection is relatively conservative and easy to wear with almost any outfit, so how about something a bit more distinctive?
I usually wear one and throw a G Shock in my bag for gym time. But when I do feel the need to take a second watch (like for a formal event), I'll put it inside its own container and keep it in my carry on bag.
Saying hi as an older violinist. Keep playing, amateur or professional, doesn't matter. You will fill yourself and those around you with joy.
And be sure to get your 40 hours in 😁
