I have tired of my Seikos as well. If I don't wear a watch more than twice a week (when I am home), it gets sold pretty quickly. The DeepSea was a great piece, but A-too bulky, B-too bulky, and C-needed a wider bracelet that was more commensurate with the size of the watch head. I am thinking about getting rid of the Breitling Chrono Avenger as well and getting another titanium Panerai (or a Rolex Sub date or regular Sea Dweller), since that was my favorite watch ever. It still pains me that I was forced to sell it...

I had an eco drive that I initially liked but as SoCal mentioned a watch that has a bracelet too small for the case eventually has to go.

I also had a Seiko ti that I wore for years but is just too small, it sits in a bin now.

Haha you may have split personalities brother! You used to say the DS was the best watch an you wore it everyday and would never get rid of it.
As for me, still like all my watches, even quartz. My combat is quartz and the few days I wear it I just wan something that is set and I can throw on and not worry about it. Funny thing, my combat gets more compliments than my iwc.

Yeah, it was a great watch, but just too much. I still want to choke you for not selling the SD to me...

Yeah, but I think that I will be much more pleased overall with the Daytona. It has the modern flip-lock clasp that I love and is gorgeous.

Okay, back on topic.

Wait, when were we off topic exactly? Around the time we had a mutual understanding over our "stopped enjoyment" for our respective Deep Sea watches?

I didn't realize men had such an affection for watches. I'm wearing the same one I bought 15 years ago. The thought to buy a new one only occurred to me recently and that will likely be the last watch I ever wear.
