Collection-4 Watches

This is my recently updated collection. I no longer have the Yachtmaster Ref 116621 and instead have added the Submariner TT Blue. Sports dive watches are my area of interest and I have received comments in the past about adding more diversification but that is not for me. Also,after many years of building much larger collections in the 10-20 zone, I am more comfortable having 4-6 watches that I wear in rotation. I don't want to own watches I don't wear and I don't want to own so many watches that it is difficult getting them all on my wrist. Years ago, that made it frustrating and ultimately moved me to take a break from watches.

How different are they? For me ,they are a variety. I have a Tudor bronze with aluminum bezel, a Pelagos LHD in titanium, the new Rolex Sea Dweller 43, and the Submariner TT Blue. Three different dial colors, different metals, and to me, each gives me a different feeling on the wrist.

Here is a shot of each watch. I welcome your comments about the collection. Stephen

Great collection of divers you have there Stephen.

Its good to know where you are comfortable in your collecting habits. I'm still searching for the right mix, but divers are also my main area of interest

It's a great collection and as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters. I think I'll be adding the Tudor bronze to the stable soon.

Have you tried AP? Maybe add a Royal Oak or RO diver. If you had to flip one maybe liquidate a Tudor for the AP. Sweet Collection!

Love your collection...some of my favorite pieces right there.

Interesting and thoughtful mix of materials and colors.

And, really cool how you know what you like and are not trying to impress anybody but yourself.
