    • Between the Amphibia and the SNKL23 you could be set for life. Throw a Hamilton Khaki in there for the weekends you won't be getting wet. Boom.mandomafioso
    • Add a high quality springbar tool. It can make a small collection seem much bigger by just swapping straps/bracelets.mandomafioso
    • Why not just get one higher quality watch that'll last a lifetime?formed
    • @formed - these will last a lifetime, phase 1 is carefully selected for this.trooperbill
    • Junkers ? are you sure ? Isn't that some Junghans copycat ?gonzalle

    • ^ too expensive for now. also got my eye on a longines but dont have £2ktrooperbill
    • Just buy one watch that totals the entire amount in your list. keep it for life and pass it down to your kids.desmo
    • rake me years to save that much lol. any spare cash gets soaked up entertaining my 2 year old.trooperbill
    • You can't consider Junkers as a serious thing. this comp plays with the ambiguity of names with Junkers aircrafts.
      These are, at best, seiko mechanisms.      gonzalle
    • I still say get one that's really worth something, you'll appreciate it that much more when you get it.formed
    • You can find nice used watches not much if you are patient.formed
