    Thought I would post my SOTC

    Never really posted my entire collection, I don't own many but here are my five starting with the lowest in value, but I love them all.

    First up is my most recently acquired, it's my Vostok Amphibian 710 ministry Case Scuba Dude I believe, I took the Bracelet off pretty much straight away and fitted an Isofrane Rubber Strap, it's mainly used fishing and working.

    Next up is my Seiko SKX009, again this robust Diver is used mainly for fishing trips and for work, I kept it on the super comfy stock Jubillee Bremacelet.

    Next is my Hamilton Khaki field Watch, mainly used for when I want to play special op's Commando in the back garden, and just when ever it takes my fancy, I have a couple of Canvas Straps as well as the stock Leather Strap, but it's on a Pav Leather Nato at the minute.

    Then there's my SMPc that I bought last Feb from my local AD, it gets worn on the Bond Bracelet with an adjustable clasp that I fitted, it lives on the Bracelet permanently and get worn at weekend meals out ect.

    Last but not least is my Speedy Pro, again bought new but mainly lives on a selection of Leather Straps, it gets worn occasionally these days and it gives me the mother of all WIS buzzes when it leaves the Watch box.

    Well that's it folkes, a fairly basic modest colkection, but one I really enjoy rotating

    Loving the Hamilton, it stands out for being a little less “forumy” than the rest 👍

    Yes I would agree with that, the Hammy does stand out from the rest, most are what you would call researched classics, but you still need to like them, and there are many forum classics I don't.

    Nice collection Matt, thanks for posting. The strap on the speedy looks really nice, can I ask what it is?

    Thanks, the Strap is from Pavstraps as are most of mine apart from the odd Hirsch, very comfy and well made.

    Thanks Tony, both from Pav, I tend to be more drawn to Leather Straps than anything else these days, but in this heat I need Bracelet and Rubber options

    That is a cracking rotation, makes me want to get my khaki out of the seconds box.

    A smashing collection. There's not a watch there that I wouldn't mnd owning. I'm becoming quite fond of the speedmaster. I could see one of these in my collection one day. I like the Vostok too. Until I joined this forum a few weeks ago, I didn't know about the brand.

    Really nice and varied 5 piece collection. Thanks for sharing. The Scuba dude looks great with the ministry case which looks almost turtle-like. Wish I'd gone for this case option on mine. The 2 Omegas are versatile classics - lovely. Great choices to rotate. Happy fishing.

    Great little collection. I had a scuba dude like that but had an skx bezel on it with a Pepsi insert. Really lifts it.

    Yes really nice collection and reflect my own tastes . I have a khaki 38mm and wore it every day for a few years but it now needs a service. I also have a speedmaster in fact wore it last night. The others in your collection I have considered and might still add to my line up. Have you thought about a dress watch?

    Never been a dress Watch fan really, having said that Alansmithy posted a pic of one I quite liked, think it was a Rado, but in general my lifestyle dictates a more robust Watch with my type of work and hobby, I do prefer the look of tool Watches though.

    Sometimes I forget to take the seamaster off before I go fishing, it's more the sand than the water that's the concern, oh well it is a Seamaster after all

    For fishing, how about a G-Shock with tides and moon features? I have one of the surfer models, solar, and it works great.

    I know they are popular but not a fan of the G-Shock, the tend to be on the big side.
