TAG Heuer Exclusive 2000 Chronograph
I used to be a big fan of TAG Heuers, especially their 2000 series and Formula 1 chronos. But I find that the newer models lost the classic sporty edge to them. However, the latest Aquaracer models are bringing back that image.
Daniel JeanRichard Chronoscope
I got this watch off the forum and managed to negotiate to a reasonable price because the seller seems to have a hard time selling this watch. I noticed that DJR are not very popular with watch enthusiast .
Like their parent company, Girard Peregaux, DJR makes good and reliable watches but they are just not very popular.
Although this watch has a 22mm lug size, the case is huge - 43mm without the crowns on both sides. Being the stainless steel version, it is also quite heavy. Case construction is sturdy but I wouldn't say that it is aesthetically very appealing.
In no time, this watch was back on the market.

Citizen Promaster Navihawk
I have set my eyes on this model for a long time but never really committed to buying one. I happened to come across a good deal on eBay because the seller has really bad photos.
The watch is definitely well worn and came with a cheapo worn leather strap. I had this honey color leather strap that I bought by mistake and finally found a good use for it. I put it on this Navihawk and it goes well with the red trim on the bezel.
After playing around with the functionals, I find that I do not like the feel of the watch and how the functions operate. I have had Citizen watches before and I have always felt that the operation of the functions could be a little more user friendly. However, since I had to only deal with basic functions like alarm and stopwatch, it did not bother me that much.

Kronos Military Watch
I got this off eBay because I like the Plongeur hands, that I thought could be used for my MKII mod. It cost the same buying the watch and the Plongeur hands from MKII.
After it came, I found this watch is a HK production that is widely found on eBay but a seller who probably put the watch together. He has several different versions.
It came with a James Bond NATO band which I replaced with a spare orange nylon strap.
This is definitely a great beater and with the orange strap, it makes the watch stand out too. I listed it on the forum and it sold within minutes.

Seiko SKX 173 Diver's Watch
This is nice "beater" diver's watch which is reasonably priced. I love the lumes on the watch. This model is often used as the base model for MKII mods. I bought it initially for that purpose but the idea of getting a mod died down.
