[SOTC] Japanese Trio

Honestly did not think I'd be buying 3 watches this year but regardless.

With the addition of Casio, my 3 watch collection-within-a-collection has been completed. The 3 watches are:

Casio AQ230GA-9BVT

The dress watch. I'll probably be putting it on a leather strap soon. Loving that 80s/90s style! Looking forward to make some fun memories with it.

Orient Mako II

The diver watch. Honestly the only one that I'm seriously considering to replace before I get too sentimental with it, to make this collection-within-a-collection quartz pieces only. Definitely punches above its weight, definitely had fun with the watch despite some drawbacks. However I do feel like I should have bought the blue version looking back, as the black version looks too serious of a sports watch sometimes.

Citizen Skyhawk Titanium

Last and definitely not the very least, the Skyhawk is the flight watch. It's massive, it's got so many functions, it's highly legible... it's been my daily driver to work as of late. Quartz definitely puts my mind at ease as I don't have to worry about the time being wrong every morning.

I guess the trio doesn't really have a theme, but I tried to get as little overlap as possible. The case materials are plastic, steel and titanium respectively. They all look like they come from different time periods. 

Anywho, I will most definitely be taking a break from buying watches in the mean while, until I can afford to add what may come to my Swiss collection!

Thank you, currently I own the Cle de Cartier and the Hamilton Spirit of Liberty Chronograph, looking to round that out with ... something in the distant future 😂

Yes! I do think the gold bracelet will be great for the summer, but I'm feeling it's going to look better on the leather.
