You an HMT fan? I couldnโ€™t tell. ๐ŸคฃI ordered one years ago off EBay and got it for $15. It lasted about a year before it sh*t the bed on me. Donโ€™t know if itโ€™s worth getting it serviced.

Sweet collection and cool wish list ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

My wish list has two purchases planned. Casio Royale and Aragon Millipede Evo NH35. The 44mm with the blue dial is ๐Ÿคค

Must be a Frankenstein watch ๐Ÿ˜… EBay is full of them. Original ones have good power reserve and fair time accuracy.

Yeah, but wouldnโ€™t a frankenwatch of an HMT just be made of other HMT parts?! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Haha ๐Ÿ˜‚ true ๐Ÿ˜ but factory fitting is factory fitting ๐Ÿ˜…. And the repair cost is very low for these watches.

Well considering I waited something closer to a month than not to just get the watch, Iโ€™ll eat the $15, bin the watch and get another one lol.

Very nice selection of watches you have collected! HMT is very rarely seen in South Africa but they look awesome!

Recommendations help me to cut down my existing wishlist ๐Ÿ˜‚ helps me focus on few good ones instead of falling for all watches I'm happy with few watches that's my mantra for 2024
