6 - Maen / Breitling / Seiko / Long Islander / Hamilton / Casio - 202502112341
Collector:
Hi watch enthusiasts,
I recently sold and shrunk my collection to add more color and add some watches that are more "valuable". I personally think value drives from how you connect to a watch & not the price tag. I added some color to my collection because to me that's a way fun to collect.
AI Review Highlights:
This eclectic six-watch collection blends high-end luxury like the iconic Breitling Navitimer chronograph and limited-edition Seiko Spring Drive diver with practical mid-tier field watches, microbrand GMTs, a slim dress piece, and an ultra-tough G-Shock, appealing to a versatile collector who values tool-watch functionality across daily wear, adventures, and occasional dress-up, powered mostly by reliable automatics with 50-80 hour reserves but including quartz toughness.

3 - Seiko / Tissot / IWC - 202502112208
Collector:
What are your thoughts on my 3 watch collection? What could I improve?
Seiko 5 - This is my inexpensive work/travel watch that I don’t have to worry about. I put a rubber band on it for a little extra durability.
Tissot PRX - I’m not sure if this classifies as a dress watch but I wanted something with a sleek design and nice metal bracelet for more formal events, also wanted it to stand out a bit so I opted for the blue dial.
IWC Pilot 3706 - My most expensive watch. Got this as more of a keepsake item, since it’s got a lot of history and a cool story behind it. Went with a nato band to give it a more military/vintage look, I dress it up with a nice black leather for occasions.
AI Review Highlights:
This trio forms an eclectic sports-oriented collection progressing from the budget-friendly Seiko 5 Sports diver for tool-watch duties, through the compact and elegant Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 for versatile daily wear, to the premium IWC Fliegerchronograph 3706 pilot chronograph as a heritage highlight, blending reliability, style, and luxury with moderate thematic unity around mechanical adventurers.

3 - Seiko / Longines / Seiko - 202502112131
Collector:
Land, Air, Sea Blues.
First state of the collection post from a slight-of-wrist collector (6.25 in). Seiko SPB149 diver is the one closest to my heart. Wish I could have better captured the blue dial. I have been trying to find a leather strap for the alpinist but I always end up putting it back on the bracelet. Unlike the green alpinist, I find this one to be less versatile. This shade of blue makes it look more elegant than toolsy imo. The Spirit 37 is easily the most refined of the bunch. It has long lugs which give it a unique appearance on the wirst. Some have said that its long lugs make it wear larger but it definitely wears like a 37mm to me. What should I get next?
AI Review Highlights:
This compact three-watch collection emphasizes rugged, history-rich tool watches from Seiko's Prospex line—including the limited-edition 2021 European Alpinist SPB197J1 with its distinctive cream dial and compass bezel, and the 62MAS SPB149 diver reissue—augmented by the refined, COSC-certified Longines Spirit for a touch of Swiss aviation heritage, delivering cohesive adventure functionality via automatic movements with 70-72 hour power reserves at strong value pricing.

Collector:
A Proud Collection of a 23 year old guy - 7 years of collecting and hard working while my friend having fun in their live! My birthday was 3 day ago and I am loving every moment of this collecting journey! I love independent watch brands. I like to collect watch that people tend to underestimate and forget about. Besides that, it is rich in history as well.

Rate my (small) collection
I got my first Speedy last year, which started of my watch collection. Most recently got the blue SMP as a sporty option.

4 - Junghans / Tudor / Rolex / Casio - 202501312113
Collector:
I consolidated a larger collection into these 4 this year. I am extremely pleased with this collection as it stands. I feel like each watch gets sufficient wrist time. I also feel like each watch is distinct and has a unique design language. The Explorer and Pelagos FXD get the most wrist time, but I enjoy the Junghans and G-Shock a lot too. I had been pining after the Rolex for some time and it has not disappointed. It’s especially comfortable with the after market Steel Reef on the fly extension link I purchased. Love the FXD on a parachute style strap (the one pictured is from The Watch Steward). Is anyone else enjoying a smaller collection having come from a larger one?
AI Review Highlights:
This eclectic four-watch collection blends the precise Bauhaus minimalism of the Junghans Max Bill Handaufzug, the professional-grade titanium dive prowess of the Tudor Pelagos FXD, the legendary no-date exploration simplicity of the Rolex Explorer, and the ultra-tough solar atomic resilience of the Casio G-Shock GW5000U-1, creating a versatile lineup powered by manual, automatic, and advanced quartz movements that appeals to a broad-minded collector prioritizing function over uniformity.

My Core Four:
I was an Apple Watch guy until 2020, when I noticed an Longines DolceVita on a friend. I have owned as many as 8/9 watches including Orient, Christopher Ward, etc but these four are all I need - for now…
Tudor Black Bay 58 39mm - Bought this during my honeymoon and honestly, if I could only have 1 watch, it may be the BB58. The fit, looks, durability just work on in almost any occasion.
Zenith Chronomaster Original 38mm (El Primero) - This had been my grail since I dove into this hobby years ago , but needed a milestone big enough to justify this purchase. This was a gift to myself for becoming a father. This is the perfect sized Chrono for me and the tri color dial is perfect - I will say the lume is not great, and it is not the most legible.
Longines Spirit 37mm - This was my first big watch purchase after getting a big promotion at work. Also wore this on my wedding day. Currently my daily driver, and will always be in my collection.
Hamilton Boulton Quartz Large - Gifted this by my wife after a BJJ belt promotion. This is a killer watch, but in all honesty, it does not get a ton of wrist time, and I tend to gravitate more to the longines/zenith in business casual situations. This will always be in my collection, but the JLC reverso duoface may take its place in the rotation down the road due to it being 2 dress watches + GMT. If you were to swap out the Hamilton, what would you choose to round out this collection?
AI Review Highlights:
This compact four-watch collection blends vintage-inspired tool watches and a classic dress piece from respected Swiss heritage brands, offering a cohesive theme of accessible luxury with high-performance automatic movements, COSC certification on most, and versatile daily wear options for the enthusiast who values history, reliability, and subtle variety without excess.

5 - Rolex / JLC / Zenith / Seiko / Citizen - 202412172345
Collector:
Thought I would do a collection update.
Rolex Explorer 40
This is my most recent acquisition. It was purchased for a work milestone. Loving it so far and it currently takes up 99% of my wrist time. I was considering a titanium IWC mark xx but opted for this in the end. Had avoided rolex for almost 10 years in the hobby but I see the reason people love them.
Zenith El Primero Chronomaster
I had purchased a speedy when I got admitted as a lawyer but stupidly sold it. I acquired this to replace it. Was a one-watch owner, owned by a former watchmaker from the Rolex SC.
JLC Reverso
Gift from my wife for our engagement. Probably my favourite. Gets worn less now but gets busted out for special occassions.
Seiko SPB 143
This was a gift for my 30th. Has travelled many places as my companion on many treks, hikes and dives. Great watch to grab for the beach. I think the 62MAS is the perfect dive watch design.
Citizen Promaster
Just a bit of fun and a lume dial - whats not to love.
Whats next?
I think a gold dress watch, PP, VC or JLC ultra thin or an ALS.
What would you get next and why?
