This picture of mine is 5 years old, and I have more watches now; and with a few changes in the meantime, namely ALL of the Rolex have been replaced with newer and different models, etc... I think I have enough divers in the mix. I have 4 Rolex Divers now, and more Seiko Turtles, and now 10 Solar watches (mostly Divers) from Citizen and Seiko.
Someday I'll update the group photo.
Not shown - Seiko PADI turtle, Blue Lagoon Turtle, King Seiko green waffle dial Turtle, Citizen Promaster x4, Seiko PADI solar diver, NTH Amphion Sub, NTH Naaken Sub, SD43, DSSD D-Blue x2, Hulk...

too many nice ones there for a group pic. can't really see the details of each one and I see some real nice ones in there.......
it's why I don't really like group pics. each watch deserves to be shown on its own...especially a collection like yours.......

I agree, it was a terrible pic back in the day (iPhone 7+ in dark room), and even worse vs what we expect now. Just more for showing the sheer number I was holding onto - Speedmasters, and Seamasters, and Explorer II's and GMT II, and Dive Masters and GrandSeiko, TAG, Luminox, and more. All those Rolex Explorer IIs and BLNR GMT II have turned into two DSSD an SD43 and Hulk, with a Pepsi GMT II, and a Tudor Pepsi GMT as well. So much flux over time. The Omega snoopy is now a Speedy Tuesday, and the Ti Seiko Astron in white is now replaced by the the black model with blue highlights, etc
I'll post some individual pics over time here, with just the divers. I have posted my DSSD and SD43 so far.
EDIT - A lot of them are packed in the big safe like sardines... I keep out just 2 Rolex and a bunch of solar watches for regular use.

sorry I didn't mean it was a bad picture...more all large group pics aren't great even when they are great.
cause we lose seeing the details and all in focus etc. your group pic aint bad for a group pic.
love to see them in detail. you do have a lot of nice ones.
Not sure; they both came on NATO bands. The leather strap just threads on and for the Ti bracelet it was super easy to install but I got a little kit with a spring bar tool and some other stuff. It would probably pretty annoying without that.

mine came with the ti bracelet
Mine was the first run, I think they were worried about people trying to resize them at home and scuffing them up.

my little screwdriver that sits in my SAK corkscrew fits right in the slotted bracelet screws. I'll need to take at least one link out so it's not flopping around.
I really like the look of it so I'll leave the bracelet on for the time being as I'm guessing it's a pain to put on and take off at home.
Adjusting the links is the hardest part. It's better if you have a spring bar tool for swapping bands/bracelets though.
