Simple but excellent collection, OP.

Curious about the “low price” she offered it for. Not sure if legit, but it looks like a great watch.
You seem like a really thoughtful person. I bet your dad will be feeling really loved just because you’re taking so much time and thinking of him. Get him a really solid Seiko, and he’ll wear it with pride.
The Pelagos line has absolutely insane lume. Up until Pelagos nothing could touch my old Seiko diver for lume intensity, but when I got my Pelagos it completely blew it away. It looks almost dim in comparison.
Nice simple design. I really don’t criticize faux patina when it’s a palette issue. For example lume colour. It’s not faux patina, it’s old patina’d lume coloured. It captures a vibe. That said, what’s been done here with the dial, just baffles me. It reminds me of a watch they’d sell at Gamestop as part of marketing for a game series. Like a novelty piece. But that just means I wouldn’t pick one up. If you love it OP that’s awesome. You gotta go with what you love.
I feel like you’re not passionate about either. Imo, that’s a sign you have to keep on looking. If these were the right options I think you’d really want both, whereas it seems you’d just as soon have neither. Is there a strict budget?
This is….bravo, sir. Still working on number 1.
This is my take, too. Thin it out and then replace with higher tier pieces.
All of the above. Utility is high on the list though. I don’t like checking time on a phone when I’m out.

It’s gorgeous. Imo, save a bit and go for it. The watch addiction starts small and involves a lot of bargaining with one’s self. If you’re like most people one day you’ll spend several times as much as what you once considered your absolute maximum. So rather than start off on a bad foot and purchasing a few lower end pieces that won’t even scratch your initial itch, just bite the bullet. Give in. Watches have your attention. This isn’t over, not by a long shot. Save yourself the trouble of taking the scenic route and start with a watch you’ll truly love.
