Just wanted to share my collection 😄 my daily is the Sinn 900s

A German pilot, a Swiss soldier, and a Japanese sailor walk into a bar...

I was inspired by other "Air, Land, and Sea" posts to slim down my collection to just these three watches. All three brands have interesting history, but each watch is so unique in its components, design language, and feel. The Damasko DS30 is my newest acquisition and is the most durable piece I've handled. The Oris BCPD Calibre 403 is my current daily, and its incredible 5 day reserve is difficult to comprehend. The Seiko SBDC101 is a staple in any collection, and I have found myself saying I'll never let it go.

These are the three pieces that I wear the most currently. I’m looking to add another piece, I was leaning towards going up the ladder to Patek or Audemars. I’m trying to keep my collection unique, I don’t want anything too common so I tend to stay away from Rolex. But I was wondering what you guys thought I should go with? Dress watch, sports watch, let me know!

I've been aiming for a simple but versatile collection and I'm very happy with how it turned out. These are the final three pieces. There were many, which came and left but these three can keep me content at least for the near-mid future.

Zenith El Primero 1969 tricolor 42mm. One of the coolest chronographs out there. It wears a tad large on the wrist but can be pulled off.

Omega Seamaster 300M 42mm. My daily driver and couldn't be happier with it; dress it up or down, it does all.

Longines DolceVita midsize 43.8mm lug to lug. My latest acquisition. I've been eyeing a reverso and later a tank solo for years but didn't want to break the bank as I don't have too much use for a dress watch. This is a great and affordable alternative to those.

Over the years, I've spent a bit over €10K on these three pieces (all from AD but with tax refund), including an extra strap for each watch. What would you have chosen?

Diver Trio - only one had actually gone diving. Guess which one.

I am heading to Sonoma with my wife this weekend. We are celebrating 11 years of marriage and two years of what is my “crani-versary.” That is the two year anniversary of my successful surgery for removal of a nasty brain tumor. It’s a super special time because my surgery is just one day before our anniversary. So, it’s a double celebration. Then on Monday, my wife heads home and I’m in San Jose for my national sales meeting. As we always say, I will be wearing these in good health. How’d I do?!

This is my watch collection from over the years. From left to right. My workwatch; Seiko Tuna SBBN031, my normal watch; Seiko Sarb017, and my "looking a little extra fancy" watch; Tudor Black Bay GMT.

First one I got was the Seiko Sarb017 after breaking both of my Vostok Amphibias. Realised I would probably be better off buying a proper watch rather than keep on breaking the cheaper ones.

Second one I got was the Seiko SBBN031 "Tuna" that I bought shortly after I started as a deep sea diver. When I first started diving I was still using the Sarb017 since it said 200m water resistance on the dial. A couple of dives and the insides of the Sarb017 was broken. Had to change the whole insides, clockwork and everything. One of the older divers explaimed to me that I needed a proper watch if I wanted to keep on diving with a watch on. He told me about the Tuna being the perfect watch for a young deep sea diver as it is not very expensive compared to other proper dive watches. According to him the quality compared to price with the SBBN031 is unmatched. He still had his old one.

Last one, and fairly recently aquired is the Tudor Black Bay GMT. I had worked my way to a little money and wanted to perhaps "up" my watchgame a littlebit. You do get brainwashed by living with other divers that are mostly all into watches, and I spent what to me is alot of money on the Tudor. Originally I thought I would get one of the pure diving models from Tudor as I have always liked them and they have a long history in diving. However I am so satisfied with the Tuna that I eventually landed on getting the GMT as I have always thought of it as a practical function and the watch looked very nice. After first trying it on I was quickly sold, hopefully not just by the experience of such a nice store haha:)

Rate my collection - It’s not much, but it’s honest work. Almost 2 years in this hobby and this is the state of my collection. Surprised by how much watch you can get in the 500 - 1000 dollar range, really makes it difficult to go and spend thousands on a watch. I am really trying to love the seiko but the size of the watch it’s a bit too big for my wrist, experimenting with nato straps atm.

The holy trinity of my watch collection so far.

Hoping to add an omega speedmaster moonwatch, a Cartier santos and a Grand Seiko Snowflake soon.

I'm a 37 year old accountant.

Out of all of the them my favorite is the Seiko on the right. It was my dad's nicest watch, I grew up with always seeing an F-91w Casio on his wrist he wasn't a flashy guy. He was a marine and an engineer. He would also wear a calculator watch and use it in his woodshop, I found the Seiko in a drawer and asked him about it. He said it was for meetings and now that he is retired didn't care if I took it. My son is due in June, I'll eventually hand it to him and let him know all about how my dad was growing up.

[SOTC] I think I have a well-rounded collection with some sentimental pieces and high quality pieces.

Casio: my favorite casual watch, even more than my everyday Apple Watch. So light and if it breaks I’m only out $20. Most photos of me on vacation I have this one on (as well as a smile).

Citizen: my dad bought this in Japan in the 90s on a business trip. Dug it out of his basement and fixed it up. Still remembering him wearing it when I was a kid and thought it was so cool.

Movado: wife gave me the Calendoplan as a wedding gift the morning of our wedding. I was (and am) so proud of it. It was generous then and I am wearing it in all our wedding photos.

Longines: the Presence was my first nice watch, a “we made it” Christmas gift from my wife after we bought a home and got higher paying jobs. Symbolizes a lot to me.

Omega: my all-time favorite watch and my weekend warrior. A Christmas gift from my grandpa, I’m most proud of this watch and intend it to be an heirloom.

Cartier: my newest watch (received yesterday). Another Christmas gift from my grandfather. Has a lot of potential to be a sporty dress watch for me and I love having a square dial.

Watches are a funny thing, we all have our preferences. I didn't set out to get 3 speed masters, first was speedy Tuesday and went from there in terms of dial variety which I liked. 😄
