Collector Description:
Finally happy with my collection and think it'll stay this way for a good long while until I get the call. A little chrono heavy but I love chronos and they are different enough they don't step on each other's toes in terms of wrist time. A good mix of great established brands and the better micros, and a good mix of styles.

Avg Rating: 994.33 = Citizen Promaster Diver (757) / Bulova Lunar Pilot (Blue) (1319) / Tissot PRX Quartz (907)
Collector Description:
Only been wearing watches for a couple years now, obviously did the classic bought too many watches too quickly, but after some selling I've settled on the pictured three.
My modest (aka. lower/middle-end) three watch collection:
The Citizen BN0166-01L was the watch I bought to wear at the beach. I love the blues and greens, and really love how the colours shift at different angles. Partnered this one with a Long Island Jubilee bracelet, really love how the look of the jubilee really matches the ridges/bumps around the edge of the case.
The Bulova 98K112 I bought because of it's ties to space, and I loved the panda/snoopy look. Also love that it came with a quick release metal bracelet, so swapping to the included blue leather strap isn't a massive pain in the ass, only takes about 30 seconds. Don't hate me, but I only use the chrono features to occasionally time how long I've had the tea bag in.
The green Tissot PRX 40 I received yesterday for my birthday, love the simplicity of the watch compared to the busier faces of the other two, feel like that really rounds out the collection. Love the starburst green, and love the vintage look and feel. Also bought a brown leather band that I can quick swap like the Bulova.
They're famoust last words, but I think I'm settled for a while. Starting to think about finding a birth year watch (1994) for my 30th birthday next year to fill that fourth slot in the case.

The collection excels in the Functions and History & Innovation metrics, highlighting its practical features and the storied backgrounds of the included models. The Citizen Promaster Diver stands out with its impressive water resistance and durability, making it a cornerstone for any diving enthusiast. The Bulova Lunar Pilot, with its historical ties to space exploration, adds a layer of historical depth and intrigue. Meanwhile, the Tissot PRX Quartz offers a sleek, modern design with reliable quartz accuracy, catering to those who value precision and style. The intended collector profile for this collection is someone who values a mix of adventure-ready timepieces and historically significant models. This collection is ideal for individuals who appreciate watches that can withstand the rigors of outdoor activities while also offering a nod to significant moments in horological history. The collection's appeal lies in its ability to cater to both the adventurous spirit and the history buff, providing a well-rounded selection that covers various aspects of watch collecting. ## Overall Collection Rating: 6.8/10.0 - **Functions Metric (9.0/10.0)** - The collection boasts excellent functionality, with the Citizen Promaster Diver offering exceptional water resistance and the Bulova Lunar Pilot featuring a chronograph function. - **History & Innovation Metric (8.5/10.0)** - The Bulova Lunar Pilot's connection to the Apollo missions significantly boosts the historical value of the collection, while Citizen's reputation for innovation in dive watches adds depth. - **Brand Metric (8.0/10.0)** - All three brands are well-regarded in their respective segments, with Citizen and Bulova having strong market presence and historical significance. - **Versatility Metric (7.5/10.0)** - The collection covers a range of use cases, from diving to casual wear, though it lacks a formal or dress watch option. - **Material Metric (7.0/10.0)** - The use of durable materials like stainless steel and sapphire crystal is consistent across the collection, though there is limited variety in material choice. - **Dials & Design Metric (6.8/10.0)** - The designs are functional and appealing, with the Tissot PRX offering a modern aesthetic, but there is limited diversity in dial styles. - **Movement Metric (6.5/10.0)** - The collection includes reliable quartz and automatic movements, though it lacks the complexity of more advanced mechanical movements. - **Rarity Metric (6.0/10.0)** - These models are widely available, which limits their rarity score, though the Bulova Lunar Pilot's historical connection adds some exclusivity. - **Complications Metric (5.5/10.0)** - The collection features basic complications, with the chronograph on the Bulova Lunar Pilot being the most notable. - **Cohesiveness Metric (5.0/10.0)** - While the collection is cohesive in its focus on functionality and history, the lack of a unifying theme or style reduces its overall harmony. ## Collection Strengths, Ideas for Improvement, Downsizing Advice ### Collection Strengths The collection's key strengths lie in its robust functionality and historical significance. The Citizen Promaster Diver offers exceptional water resistance, making it ideal for diving enthusiasts. The Bulova Lunar Pilot adds historical depth with its connection to the Apollo missions, appealing to collectors interested in space exploration. The Tissot PRX Quartz provides a modern, stylish option with reliable quartz accuracy. ### Ideas for Improvement 1. **Add a Dress Watch**: Introduce a formal watch to enhance versatility. Consider the **Seiko Presage Cocktail Time** for its elegant design and reasonable price. 2. **Incorporate a Mechanical Movement**: Add a watch with a more complex mechanical movement to increase the Movement Metric. The **Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical** offers a manual-wind movement with a classic design. 3. **Expand Material Variety**: Introduce a watch with unique materials, such as titanium or ceramic, to improve the Material Metric. The **Rado Captain Cook** in ceramic would be a fitting choice. ### Downsizing Advice Consider removing the Tissot PRX Quartz if downsizing is necessary. While it offers a modern design, it overlaps with the other watches in terms of casual wear and does not significantly enhance the collection's overall rating. ## Watch by Watch Summary 1. **Citizen Promaster Diver (7.9) - Price Estimate: $300** - Brand (8.0), History & Innovation (7.5), Rarity (6.0), Material (7.0), Dials & Design (6.5), Movement (6.5), Complications (5.0), Functions (9.0), Versatility (7.5) - A robust dive watch with excellent water resistance and durability, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. 2. **Bulova Lunar Pilot (8.0) - Price Estimate: $895** - Brand (8.0), History & Innovation (9.0), Rarity (7.0), Material (7.0), Dials & Design (7.0), Movement (6.5), Complications (6.0), Functions (8.0), Versatility (7.0) - Known for its historical connection to the Apollo missions, this watch features a chronograph and a classic design. 3. **Tissot PRX Quartz (7.5) - Price Estimate: $395** - Brand (8.0), History & Innovation (7.0), Rarity (5.0), Material (7.0), Dials & Design (7.0), Movement (6.5), Complications (5.0), Functions (7.0), Versatility (7.5) - A sleek, modern watch with quartz accuracy, suitable for casual and everyday wear.

WatchMetrics** --- ## **Collection Summary** **"Monochrome Minimalism"** This collection consists of two **D1 Milano Sketch watches, one in white and one in black.** These watches are **fashion-oriented, emphasizing a clean, minimalist aesthetic with integrated bracelet designs.** While the color variation adds a slight degree of visual contrast, **the collection remains highly uniform, lacking variety in movement, complications, and materials.** D1 Milano is **a lifestyle brand rather than a horological powerhouse, focusing on contemporary design over watchmaking innovation.** These watches are **primarily suited for casual wear, offering a sleek and modern appeal.** However, **the absence of a mechanical watch, functional diversity, or a formal timepiece limits the overall depth and versatility of this collection.** --- ## **Overall Collection Rating: 4.3/10.0** - **Versatility Metric (5.5/10.0)** **Slightly better than a single-watch collection due to the color options, but still restricted to casual settings.** - **Dials & Design Metric (5.0/10.0)** **Minimalist design is well-executed, but lacks complexity, finishing, or innovative elements.** - **Brand Metric (4.5/10.0)** **D1 Milano is recognized for its fashion-forward approach, though it lacks horological prestige.** - **Material Metric (4.5/10.0)** **Basic stainless steel case and integrated bracelet; no premium materials or advanced finishing.** - **Functions Metric (4.5/10.0)** **Time-only quartz functionality with no date, lume, or water resistance enhancements.** - **Movement Metric (4.0/10.0)** **Basic quartz movement with no complications, in-house engineering, or unique features.** - **History & Innovation Metric (4.0/10.0)** **D1 Milano has no historical significance or notable contributions to watchmaking.** - **Complications Metric (3.5/10.0)** **Time-only display with no additional complications.** - **Cohesiveness Metric (3.5/10.0)** **While color variation exists, the collection remains too uniform, lacking diversity.** - **Rarity Metric (3.5/10.0)** **Mass-produced and widely available, with no exclusivity or limited production elements.** --- ## **Collection Strengths** - **Sleek, modern design with a clean, contemporary aesthetic.** - **Color variation (black and white) provides some flexibility in wear.** - **Affordable and accessible for those looking for a stylish, minimalist watch.** --- ## **Ideas for Improvement** 1. **Introduce a Mechanical Watch for Movement Variety** - **Suggested Addition:** **Seiko 5 SNK809 (≈$225)** – An affordable automatic watch that adds horological depth. 2. **Add a Dress Watch for Formal Occasions** - **Suggested Addition:** **Orient Bambino (≈$200)** – A classic dress watch to complement the minimalist theme. 3. **Include a Sport/Dive Watch for Durability** - **Suggested Addition:** **Casio Duro MDV106-1AV (≈$70)** – A rugged diver for added functionality and water resistance. --- ## **Downsizing Advice** If reducing the collection, **removing one of the two Sketch models (either black or white) would not impact variety significantly.** The freed-up space could be used to **introduce a watch with a different style, material, or movement.** --- ## **Final Thoughts** This collection is **aesthetic-driven but lacks depth, movement variety, and functional diversity.** The color contrast adds a minor degree of flexibility, but **it remains a limited, style-focused collection.** Adding a **mechanical watch, complications, or a formal piece would greatly improve versatility.**

Collector Description:
A little bit of context: I inherited the Omega Aquaterra from my grandfather; it's very special to me as it was the last watch on his wrist when he passed away (I wear it the most).
My grandfather gave me the Patek before he passed; it's a Nautilus 3700/11AJ (thin bracelet). It generally works, but the minute hand is loose for some reason - tends to go backwards when moving the watch around. We discovered the watch together when looking through some of his old items - he wore it for a while but it kept stopping (and so it needed to be sent to Switzerland - via the authorized dealer- to be repaired). However, it continually had issues. He kinda gave up on it since he had to keep sending it back (hence the Omega) - so I'll have to get it properly fixed when I have the funds in the future.
I purchased the Zenith as a bit of a left field choice after my watch got stolen (got mugged - my fault) - regretfully it was a Rolex Batman GMT Master II. The Rolex was a university graduation gift. I wanted something a bit different after the Rolex was stolen (it was stolen just before the values went insane 🙃).
The Tudor is my brother's watch (but he hardly wears it), and the Tag was my first real watch (a high school graduation gift). It's had its fair share of issues - I don't wear it much these days.
