My 3 Watches
Seiko SPB513, Timex 8-Lap Japan, and Omega Aqua Terra. I feel like with these I’m covered for anything I get up to and it is a nice level of choice that means they all get worn pretty equally. I swapped the timex strap for a metal bracelet because I prefer the feel and look.

How to remove this scratch on my Seiko 5 crystal?
https://preview.redd.it/xpcqt8w0f6gh1.png?width=980&format=png&auto=webp&s=523b3e9c0f17f0f4954e844764cc6d5c5219e753
Hi everyone,
Today I noticed this annoying scratch on the crystal of my Seiko 5 (circled in red in the photo). It's a pretty visible diagonal scratch on the crystal.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed with some product (like Polywatch or similar, if it's a mineral/Hardlex crystal) or should I just take it to a watchmaker for a replacement?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

This watch changed my view on big expensive brands
I purchased the Militado ML05 and it threw me into a crisis why I bought expensive watches all my life. It was only 50€ and it has become my favorite to wear, especially on warm summer days. It is light, has great built quality, easy to read dial, easy to combine with various straps, and has a better water resistance than the Hamilton Khaki Field. Especially with the VH31 movement it has the same feeling as a mechanical watch, but endless power reserve. And the best part: I dont mind wearing it on the beach, when I work in the garden or in the shop, because it was only 50€ and I dont care if I scratch it. So why spend 650€ on the Hamilton Khaki Field, when I can have 13 Militados for that price?

My 10-watch collection as an 18yo
I recently turned 18 and thought it would be a good time to share my current State of the Collection! Over the last 3 years or so, l've tried to build a somewhat unique, budget friendly collection (and I still have 10 slots left). Some people have already told me that quality over quantity is the way to go, but no level of quality could give me the uniqueness and connection I feel for some of these watches. My most recent one was the Copernicus, which is in a non-original, waterproof case (but | love it, got it as a gift from grandma).

Simple never goes out of style
My most worn watch for years now. I’m a fan of grey natos. And I have several other colors. Prior to a recent vacation I ordered this black strap from Crown & Buckle. And it sure looks good to me. I may like it more than the grey.
I looked for (longer than I care to admit) for a vacation watch before we left. Tried on some nice pieces in Rome. Again in Capri. Just couldn’t make the impulsive decision. At the end of the day, the Seiko got all the memories of cliff jumping and swimming off the boat in the Mediterranean.

Watch to celebrate engagement and birth of first child ~£2000
Hello all,
I am searching for a watch to celebrate my engagement and the upcoming birth of my first child. It would be fantastic to be able to hand it down to him.
Something I can get pleasure from wearing, with a bit of history/prestige/craftsmanship.
I work as a first responder and enjoy being outside, so something that can take a bit of a beating would be preferred. I have a fenix 6 pro that I usually wear for work, but I'd like the option of wearing this watch and knowing it can handle some scrapes.
With this considered, I would prefer a date complication, at the very least. Day dates are fantastic, but having this as a requirement appears to limit my searches to some Sinn and Seiko models - both of which I am not ruling out entirely.
I had bought a Seamaster (pictured). On paper, it was perfect, but I didn't fall in love with it so I resold it.
My \\\~6 months of obsessing and research keep bringing me back to Tudor and one of their lightly used black bays. Likewise, I had considered some Sinn models due to their day date complications, but I worry they lean slightly too into tool-watch territory.
I tend to favour diver watches and have a 6.5 inch wrist. My general style, however, would possibly lean towards a more vintage watch. I have had a look at some \\\~1960s Rolex Oyster Perpetuals which could be interesting, although they might not fit the bill re handling some scrapes.
Ultimately, I've been grasped by analysis paralysis, and I welcome any thoughts, recommendations of advice you might have. If I've missed any poignant details which may assist, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
