    Well done on the forum, I'd seen the campaign but didn't realise it was up and running.

    Anyway, here's my current;

    JV0000-28E.jpg

    Citizen Eco-Drive, which is very nice as a diving piece that there's no battery replacement necessary. It's a decent weight, and took a little bit of time to get used to on the wrist.

    I'm a big fan of the dual analogue/digital feature, although if I had one criticism it's the lack of a countdown timer/chronograph. You can set multiple alarms in a variety of time zones, and numerous diving alarms regarding time/depth etc, but there's no simple feature of a timer/stopwatch. A small gripe, as I'm sure the technology is in the piece.

    Niiiiice. You made a vintage watch type very happy:) Even better that you wear it everyday. So many don't.

    PS. I think Blackpitts is about to open a watch shop.:D Now that's a collection.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    except i went for the steel bracelet

    Just looking at the photos and it needs a good clean :o

    Few more timepieces at home i'll upload later when I get time.

    Just came across this forum by accident and was delighted to find other people who have a passion for watches :)

    Here is my collection, mostly Seiko as I can't yet bring myself to spend over €1k on a watch.

    Mind you I nearly talked myself into buying a Raymond Weil Tango last Summer, I could almost justify the €1500 price Tag!

    My first chronograph watch was the Accurist on the right, with the blue shark leather strap, a present from my parents.

    Then my first 4 Seikos are attached


  • Registered Users Posts: 342 ✭✭Dammer


    Now the rest of my Seikos and my first Rotary, which was a present from my girlfriend.

    Finally took the plunge today and I'm proudly wearing this badboy on my wrist

    this is what I'm wearing at the moment - got it on ebay for 80 cents, good value for money - nice watch too but the strap is a bit crap

    I'm looking for a new one though - probably be a quartz for a few hundred, don't have the money to get a nice automatic


  • Registered Users Posts: 545 ✭✭✭shanel23


    You can't go too far wrong for 80 cent - I like the colour of that watch


  • Registered Users Posts: 216 ✭✭piaget


    Even with a few hundred you can still pick up a nice automatic if you go pre-owned. 80 cents should be about the limit for quartz:D

    Nice choice, hope you're making good use of it, where did you pick it up from?

    Have the same one - absolutely love it. Mind you, it's running a bit fast. Might get it regulated.

    Cheers - did a good bit of hunting around - web etc. but decided against the web as I really wanted to be face to face with the seller . I ended up getting te best deal in an official retailer in the north.. Saved over 500€ making the trip up there..

    I bought this Timex many years ago to wear as a work watch............. something I've rarely done as I usually wear a Seiko istead:

    these are my watches, the g-shock is my everyday watch, the animal watch i've had for a few years, the lacoste is my dress watch and the pocket watch is a family tradition for males on the 21st birthday.

    My wife read this thread, saw that I liked wibbs' watch, got in contact with him so she could get me something similar, and this arrived today:

    Seriously nice piece of kit that one. Couldn't fault it originality wise too. Even the thick glass is the correct replacement. Jealous.:D

    PS heads off to cause trouble in LTI......

    Cool back on it. Must be a nightmare to keep clean though.
