Just got into watches this year. Never thought I’d have this many. Definitely a journey but I appreciate each one. I’m always around water so I’m drawn to the divers. I never realized how fun watches can be with all the band options. Curious about what the community might surmise about me/my collection. Let me know what you think.

Also always looking for my next acquisition, open to suggestions. Prefer thin, good lüm, water resistant (>5atm), day/date optional.

Thanks for looking.

I really like all your watches. I just don't like them all together. You're better off getting rid of 75% of your watches and saving for bigger, higher end purchases. Quality over quantity. Which ones you choose to keep is gonna be hard tho

bro there are other colors than black

Which do you wear more - the eco drive citizen or the auto?

Come join us at r/seikomods, you have plenty of nh35-powered watches that it should make it easy to start modding! It’s a cheaper rabbit whole than just buying watches.

Also that skagen is cool.

FWIW I’m personally more about lots of cheaper fun stuff than one big expensive watch, less boring to me. I like building cool watches and hunting for cheap obscure weird stuff.

I really only see 3 different watches in this pic.

Not enough variety in my opinion. I’d sell off a bunch of those dive watches and replace with some more unique pieces

You’ve discovered you like black dial divers, now think about and find the best expression of it and save up, sell some of the black diver collection to fund it. You’ll be much happier with one superb version of it than a dozen mediocre ones. Believe us who have been at the beginning before. Welcome to the hobby, my condolences haha

Pretty solid collection, you do have a lot of divers but if it’s what you like then go for it. Definitely get a cool strap for the Orient Diver on the top left.
