We have similar interests. I would add vintage Seiko as well, mechanical and quartz. I don't have pictures handy but early on I collected the Seiko 7A28, 7A38, and 7A48 model/movement. Mostly from the 80s they were overbuilt for their time, with individual sub-dial motors and more metal than plastic. They also tended to keep very accurate time, varying by a few seconds per month when properly tuned. The issue I've found with modern Seiko, Citizen, etc. is at the lower end of their lines you have to be careful where they were made. The quality control can vary widely. I was also a collector of the Citizen Campanola line for a while from their quartz through the Eco-drive models, the latter of which are some of the most interesting timepieces I've ever owned. I even tried one of the Campanola mechanical watches but will save that story.
