Universal Geneve Aero Compax Chronograph 24 HR *MODDED*

I got this watch off a forum sales and it is one of the rare 24Hr watch with chronograph movement.

This watch has several modification done by IWW (professionals at watch modifications). The original baton lumninous hands (which seems to blend in with the white dial) were replaced with a pair of Omega blue arrow hour hand and Dauphine minute hand (Used in the Omega Speedmaster). Anti-reflective coating is applied on the inside of the crystal.

I really liked the blue hands on the white dial but I just didn't like the lug size. Went to a new good home :)

Glycine Lagunare

This is the first and only 24mm lug size watch I have. I really like the size and the simple design of this Glycine. It come with the original brown leather strap and an extra carbon strap.







Don Ginsler advertised his straps on the TZ sales corner and I was attracted to custom made weave strap as seen on Lagunare.









This watch is one of my favorites and is a keeper for now.

Swatch Chronograph

Swatch was one of the first watches I owned and it undeniable that Swatch makes interesting and reliable timepieces. I have seen this model around but was unable to justify spending more than $120. However, I saw it on the forums selling for less than half of the MSRP.

It is a nice watch but after wearing bigger watches, I am not used to wearing anything smaller than my Seiko Diver's. Since it was not getting any wrist time, it was sold off.

Seiko Orange Samurai Ti

This was a good impulse purchase after seeing my friend's Seiko Samurai (non-titanium version). I would have to say that this Samurai is a well-made and striking timepiece. It is chunky piece but with the titanium version, you barely notice it on the wrist. As with all titanium watch, they scratch easily.

However, I sold it to fund my "dream watch" - also another titanium.

Breitling Old Navitimer

This watch caused quite a bit of curiosity amongst some members of a forum because of the red sweep hand.
This model does not come with red or orange (some say it looks orange) sweep hands.

When it arrived and after close examination, I noticed that the paint job on the red sweep hand is quite uneven. According to the pros, the hands and lumes are also worked on before.

Another puzzling thing was that this watch has both the old and new reference numbers engraved at the back. Some suggested that it is because this watch was made during transition period to the new reference number.

Aside from these two things, this watch is close to the real deal. The sound of the movement sounds like my car catalytic converter after I stop the car, which is quite normal from a vintage mechanical piece.

However, I could not keep the watch because there was a scratch on the crystal and seller did not disclose this when I purchase the watch.

Breitling Colt II

This is one striking watch, if not for its 20mm lug size, I would have kept it.

Tissot T-Touch

This watch worn by Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider.
Love the functions and the fact that is it touch screen. Only thing lacking is backlight for the digital display.

Omega Speedmaster 3510.50 Reduced

No introductions needed for this iconic model. However, if you like a bigger watch, this is not the one for you ... with its 18mm lug size.

Glycine Airman 2000

This is a very nice watch with the famous Glycine 24 hr movement.

Citizen Ecozilla ... This is one HUGE watch

The Citizen Ecozilla is one of the chunkiest watch out there. It has a 48mm case (52mm with crown) and 18mm thick. This model comes with either the stainless steel bracelet or the rubber strap. Other straps cannot fit the lug because of the lug construction. There is a custom made adapter for people who want to put on other types of strap.

The owner of this watch preferred the titanium version (as it is much lighter), so he sold me the watch without the stainless steel bracelet. Without a band or bracelet, it is impossible to wear it as it will not fit other straps. He custom made a pair of 24mm adapters.

I got a Panerai styled military rubber strap from eBay and the textured style goes well with this chunky watch.

The watch was sold almost immediately and the new owner was impressed with the strap.

Seiko Alarm

This is an Interesting Seiko Alarm watch. Alarm function is set using the sub dials.

TAG Heuer 6000 Series

This TAG Heuer model is a nice dress watch.
