Custom Strap by Red12 Straps

I "designed" a strap and it was made by Zack from Red12 straps. Here are photos from Zack's bench.

Casio G-Shock DW-003 Models

These G-Shock DW-003 models are one of the earlier G-Shocks. Functions are pretty basic but construction of the watch is chunkier.

Casio G-Shock Mudmans

I was browsing on Amazon and came across two great deals on the Casio Mudman G9000-1V and G9000-3V. Both were cheaper than what they sell on eBay and had free shipping. This started my craze for collecting G-Shocks models of different colors. I never did wore these Mudmans out because I find the bands rather uncomfortable for a small wrist. They become display units instead.

As for the camouflage version, I got it off the bay. It has an interesting orange color backlight.

Casio Protrek PRG-40-3V - the Outdoor Watch

After owning a Suunto Vector and X-lander, I wanted a Casio model of a outdoor watch. I got this watch the forum again. Although this watch is a little big on my wrist, it is very light and you barely noticed its presence on the wrist. The display is really big.

I did not get to use much of the functions except the alarm and barometer. The temperature sensor works really fast compared to the Suunto watches. The Suunto models take a while to calibrate while this Protrek takes a few seconds to read the current temperature. I think this is due to the fact that it has 2 sensors. In any case, this is a great watch for the outdoorsmen.

Steinhart Ocean1 GMT

I got this watch to satisfy the craving for the more expensive Rolex Explorer. I got this watch off a forum that I source for more of my watches.

When it came I was a little disappointed. The size of the watch is not what I have expected - it was the 39mm version rather than the newer models which is the 42mm version.

Other than the size, I am actually quite impressed with the design on the watch. The watch is well built and looks great on the wrist. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone who wants a quality time piece at a more affordable price.

Breitling Professional B-2

I got this watch with the intention of keeping it for myself. When it arrived, I did not like the complication on the dial and went for the Chrono Avenger instead.

I had to change the seconds hand because it was bent (from the previous who claims he has no idea how it got that way.) I sent it to Horological Services (a Breitling Authorized Service Center) and quoted me for a whole bunch of things like a complete overhaul recommended for all 5 year Breitlings.

I decided to go ahead with the complete overhaul and it cost me almost 1/3 the price of the watch. Not really worth it on my end but I thought it would be nice for the new owner to get a watch in good excellent working order.




Sold it at a lost but I hope it makes the new owner happy.

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 :)
