Description: <p>Here is my very small Seiko Solar “collection.” On the left is my new SNE585 on an upgraded bracelet from Long Island Watch (if you’re reading this, Mark, thank you), and on the right is my old SNE031 that I’ve resurrected from the dead (my dark drawer).<br/><br/>The solar diver is excellent. Fantastic lume, shiny sunray blue dial, perfect case size and a lovely clicky bezel. The upgraded bracelet makes the world of difference in how the watch wears. My SNE031 was a gift from my parents when I just got into watches over five years ago. It’s beat up, scratched to hell, but keeps on ticking. It was my first and only watch for years, so I’m never giving it up. I’m afraid her extended periods in dark drawers damaged her capacitor; the watch holds a charge, but I had to keep it in a windowsill for nearly two weeks in order to do so. It’s working now, but I’ll keep a close eye on it.<br/><br/>What’s funny about Seiko is that, for me at least, I’ll keep saying, “I won’t buy another Seiko, their value isn’t what it used to be!” Yet 75% of my collection is Seiko, and the other 25% have Seiko movements in them.<br/><br/>Solar quartz watches very convenient, very accurate and worry-free due to the decade-long battery life. Thinking of a hi-beat auto to get…maybe the Atticus Pytheas? Perhaps.<br/><br/>Thanks for letting me share!</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/16x7rc6/seiko_solar_sunday/?share_id=IcQwqOVoH3r4g5P-yk-R7&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=2</p>

Description: <p>Started collecting at the end of 2023 — and here's where l'm at now. More to come, l'm sure!</p><p>Seiko Presage Cocktail Time (Blue Moon): The watch that got me into collecting. Love how the light hits the dial, really making that blue sunburst pop.<br/><br/>Dan Henry 1964 Tricompax (Silver Panda): A birthday gift to myself, and the most recent addition to my collection! Have always wanted a Panda, and the 38mm size is perfect for my wrist.<br/><br/>Orient Bambino Version 7 (Silver, Champagne): Love that cream-colored dial and the deep blue accents. Find myself wearing this one to the office most frequently.<br/><br/>Timex Expedition Scout: The watch I’m not afraid to wear in the great outdoors. When I’m fishing, hiking, or golfing, this one’s my go-to.<br/><br/>Excited to see what’s next!</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/aMmo9ELYLx</p>

Description: <p>Here’s a snapshot of my collection after getting into watches 3 years ago. I tend to favor smaller watch sizes - sub 40mm. But still have a couple of bigger (G Shock & Seiko SRPD Mod) ones as well. Got into modding a little bit just for fun. My daily wearers are the bottom row but I’ll switch it up depending on how I’m feeling day to day. Having access to different straps/bracelets is the key for me. Hope you enjoy!</p><p> </p><p>https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/BBfRsHHsZ1</p>

Description: <p class="font_8">What a sprint it's been!</p>
<p class="font_8"> </p>
<p class="font_8">I think I see what everyone means when they say that watch collecting can be an addiction; 1.5 months into this hobby and 7 watches later. That being said, most of my pieces are fairly inexpensive, my most expensive watch by far is the Trafford I picked up 2nd hand off a buddy for $500.</p>
<p class="font_8">I wanted to try a bit of everything and I think I've done that; I've got digital, mechanical, automatic, new pieces, 2nd hand pieces, 1 vintage piece, all in a variety of styles and dial colors.</p>
<p class="font_8">I think I'm done collecting for now, and I like to be a bit more picky moving forward. Some pieces I'm eyeing moving forward include:</p>
<ul class="font_8">
<li><p class="font_8">Seiko Alpinist</p></li>
<li><p class="font_8">Hamilton Khaki</p></li>
</ul>
<p class="font_8">And some more attainable yet aspirational pieces are:</p>
<ul class="font_8">
<li><p class="font_8">Junghans Max Bill</p></li>
<li><p class="font_8">Oris Big Crown Pointer Date</p></li>
</ul>
<p class="font_8">I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!</p>
