SOTC in installments - #1 Technos Skydiver
Today, due to my poor understanding of some English expressions, I generated some unnecessary confusion in #1wc messages with my dear crunchies like @Aurelian, @Porthole and @Stricko
A very common practice among Brazilians is buying or paying debts in installments. So, following this premise, to redeem myself or perhaps punish myself, today I will start showing my simple and humble collection.
After all, that's what everyone here likes, right?
For starters, I bring my Technos Skydiver that I restored last year. This is my first "real" watch bought in the 90's with my first salary as an apprentice.
Before: No power, no terminals
And today:
It is a simple and small (by current standards) quartz with a Citizen/Miyota T205 movement and measuring 38mm with crown, 18mm lugs, 42mm lug-to-lug and 10mm thick. The bracelet is not the original, it's another cheap one just like the original.
Howerver, for me it has an enormous value and the story it carries is worth far more than any price I can get for it.

You are redeemed. My first language is English and I do not understand it some of the time (a lot of the time really). That's a cool watch with a great story with it, which makes it even cooler. Thanks for showing it to us👍👍👍
Awesome watch! I own an Armitron Allsport I bought in 2001 with the T205 movement. It is a really nice movement. In addition, the analog step motor does not lose sync with the digital time to this day.
You know, I never bothered to check what movement was in my first watch, but looking back, I'd bet it was the T205, especially given the digital layout and pusher positions:
