Collector Description

I've gotten to a point where all my conceivable needs are covered and I'm not really thinking about buying anything else. What is my collection missing? I'd like to add something green, maybe a DJ... but not really too keen on anything in particular at the moment. My style thus far tends to functionality and is maybe a bit orthodox, so something a little weird could be interesting.

Most recent is the Pelagos FXD M.N. - a great weekend tool watch for swimming, hikes, diving, adventures... it will get banged up, and that's fine. I was between this and a seamaster in green and ultimately glad I made this choice, I really like the easy strap changes and light titanium construction. 200m is absolutely more than enough for any recreational diver so anything else is overkill.

Speedy - I work in a business casual environment most days, and it's perfect. Very comfortable and chrono is useful. First truly nice watch I bought and I absolutely love it. It's the hesalite version, but I put a spiralwinder sapphire caseback on to see the 3861. I had been planning to get a leather strap for it but the bracelet on this generation is ridiculously comfortable so there it has stayed.

JLC Geographic - Picked this up to mark a career change. I'm now in a position that has me moving around to different countries frequently, so this complication is ideal. I can track home time or other time zones extremely easily; great legibility and incredibly useful watch. Plus it's gorgeous. Works great with a suit or business casual.

Omega Seamaster 600 ~1963 - I got this for college graduation. It's tiny, so I use it as a dress watch for black tie events. It's not in the best condition but I love the wear and tear and patina. Keeps fantastic time as well.

Seiko SKX007 - This was my weekend beater until I got the Pelagos. It served me well for many years but probably won't get much wrist time at this point. Probably for sale.

Hamilton Khaki King - my first nice watch. At this point, it's for wearing in places where theft is a risk.
