Many watches, but only two wrists. Watches are only as good as when you wear and appreciate them. Kevin O'Leary has a forum to wear and display his watches on his TV appearances, and he loves to do that; it's his passion. If you have the occasion to be able to wear your watches frequently in everyday settings, it make sense to have large collections. Buying a watch, sticking it in a box in a closet and calling it "collecting" is proably more like hoarding. You enjoy watches so much more when you wear them.
I just joined the discussion, and I love the retro style of the shape of the dial and the color. It seems like your post was a year ago, and I was wondering if you ever got it repaired and running? I've actually re-energized my interest in watches during Covid by watching tons of videos on repairing old watches. I have been working on restoring an old pocket watch that was my grandfather's. I love watch history and the engineering especially in the older watches.
I agree that the MSRP on micro brands is a very misleading number to work with, but in looking at the watch specifications that these dive watches list, they appear to have a decent value (when they are discounted). A titanium case and band alone is pricey, as is a Sellita movement. If you are buying these watches at full price for future resale, then maybe you need to stick with more expensive bigger names. There are only a few of those that hold their value. I think if you are considering these watches, you should do it for your personal enjoyment.
