    SOTC - Think I've got most bases covered with these six

    A couple of recent arrivals added and now I'm happy with the six watches in my watch box.

    The Tudor Black Bay 41 arrived a couple of weeks ago and it's been on my wrist most days since. The latest arrival, the Seiko Padi diver, arrived yesterday to add some colour.

    I think you do have the bases covered quite well!
    Great choices of Chrono, dive, dress and pilot watches.

    Dare I suggest a digital?

    I wouu UK of say are covered very well those watches but, the box is full and the law dictates you must have a 7th on your wrist.
    Cheers,

    That's a nice rounded collection indeed, I'd be more than happy with that.
    I've recently been tempted by the Stowa Fleiger but have managed to resist so far, did you go for Auto or Manual?

    Thank you.
    I do have a Casio M5610 but that stays outside the box.

    I took the one I was wearing off my wrist and put it back in the box for the photo

    Thanks. The Stowa flieger is manual wind and the Stowa Marine is automatic.

    Thank you. I love the LLD. The lugs are long and I have smallish wrists but it wears well.

    Thanks. I found the Seiko on sale at 28% off so couldn't resist! I took the silicon strap off and put it on the beige nato which suits it well and lets the colours pop I think.

    including your G-Shock that does cover all bases , you will need a bigger box though its inevitable....

    Exactly. Then the box looks as lovely as this all the time.

    Ah, I see, I misunderstood Ben earlier. I like your thinking.

    Nice collection. The Stowa Flieger is a cracker - in my view the best judged modern version of the navigator design from any brand - great dial layout, perfect proportions, gorgeous blued hands.
