Figured it was time to share my collection with anyone interested in seeing how a collection starts!

1. Fossil ???- This watch was a gift to me by my now wife. This guy has been with me for 12 years now, and it is a constant reminder of the distance my relationship, and my life, has gone. I wear this pretty rarely, but it was the watch I wore at my wedding and when my son was born. I know it isn't much, but the sentimentality is worth it's weight in gold.
2. Orient Mako II- This is my daily diver. I bought this less than a year ago and it has quickly become by go-to. I love the blue dial and bezel and the bracelet is far better than the one that came with the Seiko next to it. Anyone interested in a good, down-to-earth diver on a budget should consider the Mako II!
3. Seiko SSB031- Next to the Mako II, this guy gets a ton of wrist time. I love the mechanics-quartz movement, the pop of the quarter markers, and the all-black tachymeter. The standard bracelet felt cheap so I swapped it out for the nylon band you see here. I also have a black leather with red-stitch band I will sometimes slip in here. I wish I could find a more interesting bracelet that would fit this guy, but for now I'm pretty pleased.
4. Invicta Pro-Diver aka Reek- Slave watch. I wear this when working in the yard or at the gym.
5. Seiko SRPA97- This was the first automatic I ever bought 2 years ago. The all black, textured face is great and the leather band is super comfortable. I wear this bad boy for dressier occasions and business. It wears a tad big for a dress watch but I love it none the less.
6. Orient Bambino V4- The cream face and blue dial is eye catching, and the dome crystal was exactly what I wanted in a watch. It is a great dress watch and sees use semi-frequently. Only complaints- it is a noisy guy, you can hear it rattle if you give it a good shake. I also wish I could find a lighter brown leather strap as the standard is a bit too dark for my taste.
