SOTC Jan 2023

Well as new member I thought I'd better do one of these SOTC posts. My collection is very modest & budget, but I have a nice big case with plenty of spaces to fill ๐Ÿ˜‰I also have a couple of other watches in bits that I am in the process of repairing, maybe they will eventually make it in here.

  1. Accurist quartz tank, black strap. Bit small for me gifted to the wife ๐Ÿ˜‚
  2. Ramino Swiss mechanical, black strap. Bit small but I fell in love with the face.
  3. Lorus quartz Lumibrite, RAF Nato. My go to when I might get the watch knocked about.
  4. Rotary quartz Oxford silver face, brown leather strap. Love the look and feel of this watch on my wrist. So much so that I bought another one!
  5. Rotary quartz Oxford black face, steel bracelet. Smart but comfortable.

This might be the first time that I liked a Swiss mechanical over a plethora of quartz, but that gold dial is a stunner. No losers here though.

Rotary watches always bring back lovely memories of my dad and grandfather's. Always the go to watch maker for them ๐Ÿ‘Œย 

Great collection.ย

It is, though the gold plate on the case is wearing thin in certain areas. I liked it so much I tracked down one in near mint condition with what I believe is the original bracelet.
