I'm pretty satisfied with this "collection", since there isn't anything in any price range that excites me anymore.

I collect Casios.

I buy a new one every 5 to 10 years.

I'd probably have a collection of Casios as well, if I didn't have an irrational dislike for non-rechargable batteries and all things that go beep.
They're definitely among the best value for money you can get in the watch world, along with the very different hand-wound Vostok Komandirskies, which offer a robust, well-designed, fully in-house manufactured mechanical watch for $45.

Great collection! Do you have a side collection of straps for the Komandirskie?

I have a black leather one-piece strap in the mail that I'm gonna try on it.
But I actually like the look and the irony of the Bond NATO on it.
