My little collection.
Discussion
Just picked up the steinhart 2 weeks ago which has filled the spare space in my box. So this is my little collection.
Boss was first purchase over 10 years ago. The Pulsar is literally a £30 freebie never gets worn.
The Tag F1 is my daily is in excellent condition for an 8 year old watch. The Omega Speedmaster 50th anniversary edition is my baby. Then the Steinhart, took me a while to get around the whole hommage thing don't know why but really nice watch wears lovelly and glad I have it.
Next big one Rolex then I'll be a happy watch fan.
Sorry for pic quality from phone.
Would welcome comments and feedback.
Thanks

My opinion is that the Omega Speedmaster is nice but as for the rest... you should get rid and put the funds towards another decent piece. You are better of having a couple of quality brand name watches rather than a whole box of mid to low end stuff.
Unless the OP enjoys his "mid to low end stuff".... 
OK, the Boss is a bit of a fashion watch, but there's nought wrong with the others. Quite like the Sportura myself, I sold one on for a friend a few months back, cool suspended tacho bezel on that one.
Slightly controversial feedback lol but all, welcome
The Boss I bought when I was about 18 (33 now) and its not really my style now but it's there anyway. And as mentioned the pulsar was a freebie.
The Seiko is a lovelly watch, I'm not a leather strap man but enjoy wearing it. The F1 gets worn literally all the time, infant I could quite easily persuade myself to get an other F1.
The Omega is a speedmaster 50thanniversary edition, I also have one of the press packs that were issued, got a book, some pin badges etc, nice to have it all together.
The Steinahart only arrived 2 weeks ago, took me a while to convince myself to get one, and no doubt over time the black will wear at the edges but it is a nice watch.
I'm not a watch collector but someone who likes watches so have picked up something new every few years. Next major purchase will be a Submariner.

And what would you class as a "quality brand name"?(speaking for myself, watches are more to me than whatever name is on the dial, but I'm humouring you.....

haha wasn't looking to be controversial the OP asked for opinion and comments... to me the Omega is a great watch, clearly he has good taste with that watch. The Seiko whilst not my cup-of-tea looks wise is granted a quality watch also. I am less convinced about the others in that collection inc. the Tag. If it were my collection I would look to sell off all the lesser pieces and replace with another quality automatic watch (let's be honest here a high street fashion watch you bought at 18 isn't what you want to be wearing in your 30's.. you may as well get rid unless it has some kind of sentimental value). I would suggest a nice Rolex sports or a steel datejust on the oyster bracelet, a Brietling Navitimer is also a nice classic watch for a 33 year old, as would be an IWC pilot. Buy quality with B&P if you can on the secondary market and it will hold its value even increase over the years. Hope that is helpful advice OP.
All comments welcome appreciate everyone has different tastes otherwise we'd all be wearing the sme thing. Definetely is a theme (apart from the boss) just my taste for divers style and Chronographs etc.
Had my eye on the new F1's for a while now, just think the £850 (I think it is) for the one I like wpuld be best put towards the Submariner fund. Definetely enjoy having a bit of choice now.
And apologies again for the rubbish phone pics. I did go to get the good camera out today but it was in the wife's car will try and get a decent one to add.
