    My Divers collection

    Hi guys,
    after a long wait (almost 2 months), my Padi finally arrived from Creationwatches (I pulled the trigger after a heads-up topic here). So, my Divers collection is now complete.

    Nice selection.

    I'm not sure any collection is ever complete though... They tend to breed!

    Nice! I received my PADI on Monday from creation too, really really happy with it. I love the colour on the dial and can't stop having a quick glance at it

    Lovely stuff - you need to add in some vintage ones now...
    So clever my foot fell off.

    That Citizen is the winner for me. Not sure about the collection being complete though. There's always room for one more....just one.

    For the moment I would just contemplate it... My wife starts to have THAT LOOK in her eyes (married peoples knows what I mean), so, being worried about my physical safety, I will just wait until 4th watch box will arrive.

    I sort of keep fancying just one rolex.......trouble is i then see another cracking watch for 5% of the price....they do only just tell the time after all.

    Favourite watch in the OP's box...The PADI Turtle of course.

    Don't they just.

    Lovely collection, some absolute classics in there.

    I have that same blue Orient Mako - what a great watch, it's my go-to for holidays, water use & rough stuff. I fell and mangled the bracelet recently, so it'll give me the excuse I need to upgrade it with a better Third Party option.

    My most rare watch is that Citizen Wingman 6820. Very very hard to find.


  18. #18
    I have a 10 watch box and limit myself to 10 + 1 (for the one I'm wearing!).

    As I've been buying a lot at once recently I'm getting the sweats about them all needing servicing at the same time in the future. If I owned more I might have a breakdown.

    Aha, a divers collection within a diverse collection. Very nice choices.

    Congrats, that's a great collection. The dial that's top left in the second pic caught my attention. Does it say Cauny?

    To be honest, I believe that the trio Mako - Promaster NY0040 - SKX should be in any watch enthusiast collection, especially if you consider that they aren't expensive and are truly classics.
    Apart from these 3... the sky (and the budget) is the limit, but those 3 are somehow mandatory. This is my opinion.

    Nice diver collection there. It's only complete until you pine for the next one though - trust me! A quartz diver maybe to fill the gap.....

    Very nice - I bought a black one back in 2009/10 sold it on here - lovely watch , well built with a deep ink, glossy black dial .

    Nice collection- I don’t feel as bad now letting some go . Think I’ll just keep them . What’s a collection with no watches in lol ?

    Wow! What a lucky divers man ;-) At morning what's depending on which one you choose to wear? Garment or shoe's color or your mood?

    Nice selection there, I have a similar diver collection but the Citizen seems to have escaped my radar, despite looking at one in a shop window quite some time ago, I never went in to try one on. I went with a Monster gen 1 over the SKX, and rate the Mako highly for what it cost.

    I'm working from home, so I decide based on socks color

    I’ve got an SKX009 but the Citizen is my favourite there.

    Thanks!

    What a great collection, diverse and interesting. I really like your Orient Star Retrograde, I am going to have to do a bit of googling this afternoon

    A nice varied collection. Like the Orient Star Retrograde, the Hamilton and Bulova, in particular. Must be difficult to decide what to wear each day with so much choice.

    Orient Retrograde

    Yes... that Orient Retrograde is a beautiful piece. This presentation "force me" to push the button.
