The Complete Collection

I finally consolidated and took pictures of the collection today! It's been my wish to share my collection ever since this blog was made but I never quite got to it. Before we start however, I apologize for the poor picture quality as these were taking under harsh, artificial lighting once again so the picture quality leaves something to be desired. Now, without further ado, I present to you the complete collection!
 
Casio F91W - This watch has served me well throughout my army days and has seen everything; from firing rifles to tear gas training. Unfortunately the strap became brittle and broke off after not wearing it for some time.

Vintage Pagol - This watch was my grandfather's and holds a lot of history. This watch is easily two times my age and still works like a charm. No quickset date on this watch but one can easily change the date by going back and forth from 9PM to 12AM!

Vintage Norexa in the middle, vintage Humark on left and right - Not much is known about these watches. They were passed to me by my Dad and he said that watches with such bracelets were in trend back then.

Vintage Snogem - Same type of watch as the ones above. Sadly, the bracelet could not be found.

Vintage Tudor - A boy sized Tudor Oyster, it is somewhere around three decades old. The screw down crown is a pleasure to use despite it's age.

Vintage Vulcain Cricket - This is an interesting piece; my one and only mechanical alarm and it is quite effective at its job! Rings quite loudly for about 20 seconds which should wake up all but the heaviest of sleepers.

Casio MQ24-7E - This may be the cheapest watch in my collection but I absolutely love it. Clean, simple and understated; a watch at its most basic, and the result is fantastic.

Kemmner Turtle - Lots have been said about this watch already, read my review on it for more information!

Sterile Submariner Homage - Assembled from a case set from Sizzlin' Watches with an ETA 2824-2 ticking inside. Makes for a good, reliable beater.

Octo

FCUK - This was a gift for one of my birthdays, way before I was a WIS so I didn't mind that it was a 'fashion watch'. The original leather strap it came on was in a really bad condition at the time of this photo so I swapped it out for a olive green five ring ZULU strap. This is what I love about universal lug widths.

Seiko 5 SNK807

Seiko S-Wave SKX245
