Seiko Military Chronograph SNDA65

Got this watch off the forum. Never had a black (ionic plated) watch before so pulled the trigger for this watch. Great daily beater. Watch case is slim and makes this watch very light on the wrist.

Citizen Nighthawk

I had this watch for quite a while as my daily wear and really love it. I like everything about it - the complicated dial, the flat case without a bezel and the sporty and tight bracelet. For the price, this is a great watch.





Breitling Colt GMT

Got this watch on the forum was slightly less than what it would usually go for because firstly the date changes at 6am instead of 12am. Secondly, it would only fit a 7" wrist and lastly no box or papers. I thought it would be a nice daily wear given the condition.

When it finally arrived, I was surprised how shinny this watch is although I had purchased a Colt II which is practically the same watch without the GMT function before. It is a nicely made watch - very striking. It is a little on the heavy side due to the bracelet. The other thing that I really like about the watch is the accuracy of time keeping, which is about +/- 3 secs a day - better than my Breitling Chrono Avenger. Maybe it is time to send my Chrono Avenger for service.

I contacted my local watch repair guy to inquire about the date change problem. He told me that if the watch is keeping good time then wait till it requires a full service to fix the problem.

Keeping this one for now :)





Hamilton Khaki Mechanical

I have been eying this watch for quite some time and it finally popped up really cheap on one of the forums. Reason for the price is that there is a ding on the side of the case and the original strap is really worn. Other than that watch is okay. When it came, I realised it was a rather big watch - 44mm and the power reserve was that very good - I think less than 12 hours. Not sure it is the watch itself or the model. Flipped the watch without making a lost.





TAG Heuer Professional 200M WM1112

This was another daily wear potential. It wears comfortably on the wrist because it is light. The dial and bezel gives it a sporty/ classy watch. Unfortunately, the bezel seems to be a bit too worn for my taste.



TAG Heuer F1 Midsize Orange Dial WAC1213

Got this watch on the local forum and picked it up locally. This was a potential beater but the size is way too small and it just seems even smaller on my wrist. I would have loved to keep it if it was larger because it is a very sporty looking watch. This is a quick flip.





TAG Heuer Kirium WL-1110

This watch was purchased purely as a flip. I never liked the kirium models due to the stiff bracelet design.
