SOTC - August 2023

28 Watches – That’s the current collection… however, I have 9 more watches on the way, and after that, I think I am done buying watches, till I can afford a Grail watch.

2 years ago, I had 3 and after 1 year of becoming a watch enthusiast, I kind of went crazy.

-----------

In the glass case I have, the following 8 mechanical and two Quartz pieces (starting left to write, top row first):

Vintage Seiko Day Date with a Silver Arabic dial.

Vintage HMT Janata Gandaberund with a white Kannada dial.

Vintage Timex Diver with date from 1979.

Timex T2C261 Silver-Tone dial Automatic Date with 24-hour dial and power reserve.

LIGE 6826 Day Date with Sun and Moon dial.

Fossil Privateer Sport Skeletonized Automatic – BQ2427.

Invicta Pro Diver 9403 with Date and 200 Meters water resistance and red and black bezel.

Chenxi 8848 Skeleton Automatic in black.

Fossil Limited Edition Blue GMT – LE1156 with Date and red and blue bezel.

Hirsch Sky Pilot with Date - 19138

My second watch case has 9 Chronographs (I will mention if they have an extra feature i.e. Date):

Zeppelin with Date and 24-Hour Panda Dial.

Tsar Bomba with Date - TB-8204SGLZHX.

Chenxi CX 939 with Date, 24-hour Sun and Moon dial.

Swatch x Omega Moonswatch “Mission to the Moon” SO33M100

Vintage Orient Racer with Date and 24-hour dial.

Armani Exchange AR2501 with Date and 24-hour dial.

Casio Edifice EFB-680 DW with Date.

Pagani Design PD-1676 with 24-Hour and Black and Silver Dial.

Gerard Piguet with Date.

-----------

The third case is not really a watch case, but a travel pouch that fits perfectly for holding about 9 watches:

Chenxi 8852 with Date.

Ice Watch ICE forever Black – SI.BK.S.S.09 Diver with Date

Fossil Pride Three-Hand Date – FS6005

Emporio Armani AR-0181

Vintage Casio AX-210 (that needs the LCD repaired, going to work on it soon).

Casio Wave Ceptor WV-59R-1AEF.

Tissot D377 which I must also repair.

Casio F-91W

Casio LF-20W

-----------

I need to order another watch case, but 36 watches are enough.

I think I’ve pushed the limit of what my wife finds okay for my hobby once again and that will be okay if I stop now.

Be warned good friends of the dangers of watch collecting…. :D
