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 |
As always, I hope you have enjoyed reading today's post and thank you for reading!
