Blue monday diver watch for today, for a deep dive in code. Hopefully one day it will be released in the sea.

A few folks have asked, so here it is. It is not the biggest collection, but every piece has a story and gets worn. Apparently I am short a slot, which means I “have” to wear a watch every day. The winder also needs replacing, so a few of these are getting extra wrist time. Dress & Refined On the dressier side, I have the Oris Artix Pointer Moon, the Heritor Becker, and the Croton day/date. The Croton, with its two-tone bracelet and black dial, is comfortable and makes for a solid daily when I do not want to go too formal or too sporty. The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph straddles categories, sporty enough to wear casually but finished well enough to pull double duty when I need something a little more refined. I do not have a true dress watch yet. A slim, simple three hand on leather is still missing from the box. Tool & Sport For tool and sport, the Bulova Lunar Pilot is always a favorite, along with the Hamilton Pan Europ, Spinnaker Bradner GMT, a Citizen Eco-Drive chronograph, and the Haurex Magister. These cover travel, weekends, and anything that needs a little more utility on the wrist. Fun & Quirky I also have some fun pieces. The Elevon Northrop came to me through the EDC community, and the DSTIKE Deauther is more of a hacker’s tool than a traditional watch, but it earns its spot in the box. Comic Con Exclusives The Citizen Mandalorian Eco-Drive and the Citizen Darth Vader Death Star Eco-Drive are Comic Con exclusives that I actually wear. As someone involved with Comic Con International for many years, these add a personal connection as well as a collectible angle. Smart & Utility Rounding it out is my Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. Not mechanical, but it is a workhorse for the gym, hiking, or hunting when I need data more than dial work. It may be a small collection, but it reflects what I enjoy about watches, style, function, quirks, and memories. Every piece earns its wrist time, which is exactly how I like it.

My wife sent this to me thinking she was being funny 😝👎🏻

Hoping this can be a fun little post, all you need to do is post the number of watches that you have in your collection. Let's add them up and see how many watches are out there. I have 32

This is my first automatic watch, a Tissot Seastar in a lovely blue colour. I really like the texture in the dial and the contrast. Easy to read and very comfortable too.
