Core Collection
Just wanted to share some shots I took yesterday evening of some of my most worn pieces.
I'm having fun practicing taking better photos so hopefully these are fun to look at

What’s the Seiko river with the blue bezel? I like that.
Also, I share your enthusiasm for the SPB211. Any strap recommendations for it?
Nice shots of your collection
Perfection ! the coined bezel on the SKX makes it perfect - I made the same thing and now I crave no more the SPB :) , that Alpinist and the little mechanical Max Bil are on my list too ! and I used to have the same camera :)
I really like that red and white bezel
Thanks! The diver is a SKX009 with a few parts swapped for aftermarket pieces. It has a brushed steel chapter ring, coin edge bezel, lumed ceramic bezel insert, and sapphire crystal. Still running the old 7s26, though!
Brown dial = best dial imo. Cool to hear you're a fan! I really like this one on "vintage" style leather or suede straps and tend to wear it that way when I want to take a break from diver style pieces. I think that it really pops with green and brown tones and also works well on perlon straps in green or brown. Crown and Buckle perlon straps are nice. For leather, I've tried a bunch. The one on there now is a Veblenist in the ironwood color

Thanks! DLW watches has some awesome lumed inserts. Probably my favorite shop for bezel inserts

Thanks, I think it really classes up the watch and makes it easier to grip.
I still wear my SPB more, it's just such a great watch. The max bill is a definite favorite as well.
The camera didn't even get used , haha. I acquired it from a friend and I'm figuring it out
Can’t get any better than a Holme & Hadfield box to display those prized possessions 😍
