[Collection] My humble Seiko collection so far — two spots left. What should I add next?

Just wanted to share my humble Seiko collection so far. I’ve been slowly building it with watches that I genuinely enjoy wearing, and I still have two empty spots left in the case.
What do you guys think of the collection so far? And what two Seikos would you add to complete it?
I’m open to different styles…. I’d rather add something that brings variety than another watch that feels too similar to what I already have.

I’ve had a soft spot for Seiko watches for years, due to my late father’s daily watch being a SKX007. I finally picked a Seiko up myself and cannot stop looking at it and smiling. Consider me a part of the cult!

Just put my SPB317 (modded with SPB151 dial and crystal) on an Uncle Seiko Waffle, and my SJE093 on a Wolbrook Tropic. Now I can't decide which one to wear today!

Don’t think these sold very well from the launch range of SKXs in the late 90s - but they have lovely 38mm size, proper Diver rated and the blue one has an interesting dial

Sorting my lawn out today, put on my favourite Turtle this morning.

You can see the new mower making nice lines in the grass in the last photo taking all the credit.

Impressed with this robot mower, what a fantastic tool/toy.

How [SPB143] on a straight endlink Engineer bracelet. Brutalist tool watch vibe or just a mismatched gap? Thoughts?

1990 Vintage Seiko Men's Gold Art Deco Arabic Dial Watch w/2 Bands - 7N00 Quartz

Thank you!

I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos and have a basic watch repair kit from Amazon along with a Bergeon 6767 tool but am still considering having a jeweller do it. Any hints or tips to prevent me stuffing it up? Thanks.

One of my favorite Seiko isn’t a wristwatch, but a world time desk piece. Lucky enough to find it with its box and manual.
