Seiko Goldfeather - Mid 1960's. At the time, the worlds thinnest centre seconds movement.
Seiko recraft - 2021
Timex - 1976 my first ever watch. Well OK a watch exactly the same as my first ever watch.
Tissot T660 - Titanium quartz 300m. A repacement for a watch I bought new in 1996.
Tissot T660 - Titanium quartz 300m. A repacement for the replacement for a watch I bought new in 1996.
Tissot Two timer - Quartz ana-digi multifunction a gift in 1987.
Tissot 770 - quartz ana-digi, (the two timer has more functions)
Vulcain - rather plain, but I like it.
The photo was taken a couple of years ago. Which of course means the collection has grown sice then.
In February 2023 I asquired this [-]little[-] massive hulf of beauty:
Of course being a Beta-21 it didn't work, it's been a money pit and a pain in the backside to find parts for. Despite a new motor and several NOS bits, it is still not working.
Other acquisitions:
