Thank you!

The Lego was a sub-£10 watch I couldn't resist which turned up this morning and turned out to be massive, but will do as some mantel art next to my box.

Aah yes, I see what you mean. I started out almost exclusively with vintage gold dress watches (Longines, Omega, Cyma etc) and just my max bill, but the costs of service and a few accidents involving water and scratched crystals meant I moved away from that completely. I hadn't really meant to have a range from different countries, but German style, build quality and accessible price points made them pretty inevitable. It is only very recently (2022) that I have tried cheaper watches from Russia and China. I downsized my collection from a high of 32 pieces to 6, and then wanted some fun, cheap alternatives with a splash of colour. I am amazed at just how good the Seestern feels for the money.

yes seen steeldrive versions of it but not seesterns thats a new one on me ..the steeldrive is a cheap decent range of look a like watches for a fun wear .
yes I tend towards quartz's in expensive ones to minimize service cost (well service them myself ) but the Russian are normal work horse movements that go fine on their own for lot of years.. yes the tudors are classic line that is a nice touch would like a 1960's one at some point .

and that's a very nice, universal collection you have. What's the no-logo one in the lower right of the box (and also the one below it, outside of the box)?
