Collector Description

A summer quintet. I have more watches than that but limit myself to these in the post. Divers and field watches are in the majority, both here and in total. That's what summer is all about. Isn't it?

A.I. Collection Review:
# 5 Watch Collection - RZA (20%) / Seiko (20%) / Casio (20%) / Yema (20%) / AndoAndoAndo (20%) Review by A.I. WatchMetrics ## Collection Summary This eclectic 5-watch collection blends affordable tool watches from microbrands and Japanese stalwarts, highlighted by robust divers like the Seiko Prospex Ninja Turtle and Yema Superman Bronze LE, a textured urban field piece from RZA, a practical solar moonphase hybrid from Casio, and an ultra-rare AndoAndoAndo pilot prototype; it targets budget adventurers seeking variety in automatics (NH35, 4R36, Yema2000) with 38-41 hour power reserves alongside quartz reliability, emphasizing water resistance up to 300m and limited edition allure. **"Eclectic Tool Watch Medley"** ## Overall Collection Rating: 6.2/10.0 **Material Metric (7.6/10.0)** - Diverse premium cases with bronze on the Yema, sapphire across most, and solid steel builds surpass typical Hamilton Khaki field watch standards. **Versatility Metric (7.3/10.0)** - Spans deep-sea dives to office-casual wear effectively, akin to a well-rounded Citizen Promaster lineup. **Functions Metric (7.2/10.0)** - Excellent water resistance (100-300m) and daily features like dates deliver pro-level utility matching Oris divers. **Rarity Metric (6.7/10.0)** - Limited editions including Yema's 1948-piece run and AndoAndoAndo's 10-piece prototype elevate it beyond mass-produced Seiko 5s. **Dials & Design Metric (6.6/10.0)** - Engaging details like the RZA medallion texture and Turtle bezel vibe with microbrand flair similar to Christopher Ward. **Movement Metric (6.4/10.0)** - Dependable NH35/4R36 autos plus efficient solar quartz align with mid-tier Tissot PRX reliability. **History & Innovation Metric (5.4/10.0)** - Leverages Seiko Turtle and Yema Superman legacies but tempered by newer micros, on par with standard Prospex sets. **Brand Metric (5.3/10.0)** - Solid Seiko/Casio backbone boosted by micros like Yema mirrors enthusiast starter collections like Hamilton Jazzmasters. **Complications Metric (4.8/10.0)** - Limited to basic dates and moonphase trails average tool watches without chronos or GMTs. **Cohesiveness Metric (4.5/10.0)** - Fun diversity in styles and brands lacks tight theme, unlike focused Tudor Black Bay stacks. ## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.1 ## TPS Interpretation: Fair Value: Punchy rarity and materials from LEs deliver strong enthusiast appeal at the collection's ~$564 average price per watch. ## WM Collector Grade: C ## Performance Insights: Excels in materials, versatility, and rarity for standout value well above implied ~$320 price point, tempered by loose cohesion and basic complications. ## Collection Type by Style - Tool/Adventure (RZA Urbanist, AndoAndoAndo A-2): 40% - Sports/Diver (Seiko Ninja Turtle, Yema Superman): 40% - Casual Hybrid (Casio Moonphase): 20% ## Collection Type by Movement - Automatic Mechanical (RZA NH35, Seiko 4R36, Yema 2000, AndoAndoAndo): 80% - Solar Quartz (Casio Module 3201): 20% ## Collection Strengths - High collectibility from multiple true limited editions (LE-1948, LE-10). - Pro-grade water resistance (200-300m on key pieces) for genuine adventure use. - Varied yet reliable movements blending mechanical charm with solar practicality. ## Ideas for Improvement 1. Curate around a core theme like heritage divers to boost cohesion. 2. Introduce an in-house or high-beat movement for elevated horological interest. 3. Add a formal or vintage piece to expand stylistic breadth. ## Downsizing Advice For a tighter 3-watch rotation, prioritize the ultra-rare AndoAndoAndo A-2 Prototype LE-10, premium Yema Superman Bronze LE-1948, and versatile Seiko Ninja Turtle; offload the Casio Moonphase and RZA Urbanist to fund a cohesive upgrade like another microbrand diver. ## Watch by Watch Summary **RZA Urbanist Medallion ($259):** Budget gem with medallion dial texture, NH35 automatic, and 200m WR in a 40mm urban field package. **Seiko Prospex Ninja Turtle Kanji Date SRPC49J1 ($950):** Cushion-cased icon with fading bezel potential, 4R36 auto, and 200m dive prowess. **Casio Moonphase MTPM305D ($110):** Solar-powered value king offering moonphase, world time, and 100m WR in a steel hybrid design. **Yema Superman Bronze LE-1948 YSUPSSZ39-ZMS ($1100):** Heritage bronze diver limited to 1948 units, Yema2000 auto, and 300m capability. **AndoAndoAndo A-2 Auto Prototype LE-10 ($400):** One-of-10 pilot prototype automatic, embodying microbrand exclusivity. **A.I.
