I hope so 😄

(Actually I show them to my parents, my father is keen on old things.)

commented on Travel with my collection ·

One year ago I had only two Casios. (The blue and the silver on the top of left.) So it's an impressive growth. 😄

I inherited more than 60 watches from a firend's late dad last summer. Many of them are in very bad condition but I could save more than a dozen.

The others from my collection are gifts. I bought only three watches. 🙂

commented on Help me ID this vintage Certina ·

I think you should check #vintagecertina or tags like that on Instagram. Maybe you'll find a watch like yours.

But imo there is no specific modell name for this watch. Or you could use the name of a similar Certina with the same movement etc if that watch has one exact modell name. (But I'm not really an expert of this field so I'm just guessing.)

These vintage Certina movements always look beautiful, I have a simple Certina with a 25-35 movement and I really love it.

I used the VintageCertinas website to identify the year of my watch, I recommend it to visit.

I'm not wearing this today but this is one of the finest pieces in my collection from the 70s.

I have only this one Seiko but I really like their vintage modells. So I hope I'll join the #seikosaturday with more watches soon 🙂

Thank you! Unfortunately English isn't my native language and I usually make mistakes when I'm using it. So feel free to correct me.
