    You don't have a chrono, so perhaps something like that, or a GMT?

    All four watches are fairly pure examples of their genre - you prefer that, or would you like something that straddles the boundaries a bit? Lots and lots of steps between the Certina and the Seiko. Or perhaps you would like a diver that has the kind of presence that the G shock has?

    Interesting collection which covers the obvious bases really well. Rather than what thinking what you ought to have what do you want? My collection is based on each watch having a purpose or occasion to be worn but the choice is based on what I see/like/want to try and the cost.

    Nautilus, surely?

    More seriously, a chrono would seem a good choice to extend the scope of the collection or something vintage (or maybe both!).

    How about a Vostok Amphibia?

    Lots of scope for bezel modification and good cheap fun

    A chrono is a great idea and would fit in really well although I am very happy to blur the lines. Like the idea of a watch that is of greater value than anything I have right now but keeping in mind that my personal grail watch would be the a Speedy so something around the £500 mark.

    That's a refreshingly cool and original collection.

    Very kind of you to say. I think this is because it is built over many years with little knowledge of watches! Lol. I bought the Seiko after becoming far more interested due to a work colleague.

    I had a nylon nato on the Seiko but changed it for the suede one in the pic.

    I agree a chrono is missing. Instead of getting another watch for £500 why not put it towards your Grail. You could even use the money for a deposit and get 0% finance, WoS have 0% credit 6 to 48 months.

    Lol, I don't do credit, apart from my house. I also think the jump in watch value is difficult to justify, I need to take it step by step.

    I believe so. It is on a Zuludiver Suede strap, really nice and can highly recommend it.
