Hey fellow watchlovers, today i want to present my own collection: It all started with purchase of the Seiko SNK809, followed shortly by the venerable Casio AE-1200 (Royale). About half a year later a trio of dive watches in form of an Orient Kamasu, Vostok Amfibia and Dan Henry 1970 have been added in an interval of a few months. My next purchases were the legendary Casio G-Shock DW-5600 and Casio MTP-4500 chronograph. There is another analog chrono, the Straton Curve, the only Meca-Quarz in this collection. As a little bit of a surprise i was drawn in a lottery to get an invite to buy a Helm Vanuatu, which of course i claimed instantly. The AE-1500, G-Shock GBA-900, A-700, A-1000 and CA-53W are the result of a recent Casio "phase" i'm going through and the newest additions. -------------------- What's next? The collection is missing a more dressier piece, so an Orient Bambino or a Tissot Le Locle would be a nice fit. As a huge Christopher Nolan fan, the Hamilton Khaki Pilot is a mid-term goal. And finally, for now my long-term goal / grail watches are a Omega Aqua-Terra, a Fortis Cosmonaut or something from Grand Seiko.

A lot of well appreciated watches

I just moded my MTP-4500 with a double domed mineral crystal (30.5mm in size) and I definitely recommend that mod for that watch, it looks stunning, in case you wanna venture into that sort of thing.

I love the a1000. I just needed to make a few mods to mine to make it perfect

Yes, i admit that my taste in colors is a bit on the safe side. 😅

But hey, maybe i get a bit more outlandish with one of my next pieces.

Thanks for your opinion and suggestions, very appreciated. 😊

I wish I could take better photos but I'm a better fireman than a photographer, it's a subtle curve on the crystal but a morr domed crystal would probably achieve a better look, also the crystal I fitted is a 30.5 mm x 2 mm but the original crystal was 30.648, so probably go for a 30.7 o 30.6 for a better fit, sorry for the delay.

It looks awesome in my opinion, definitely an upgrade even with that subtile curvature! 👍🏻

Thanks for the pictures and the suggestions for sizing! 😊

Take care while fire-fighting,
