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.







TAG Heuer 2000 Chronograph CK-1110

I had this watch several years back and I got it for a good deal on the bay. This is a nicely made watch but I finally realised why I sold it off in the first place. The chronograph dials seems rather cluttered together in a rather unimpressive way. So it was back on the bay again.

Casio G-Shock G7900

I got this watch after seeing several members on the forum talk about it. The design is rugged and stand out from some of the G-Shock models. The strap is very comfortable and the watch is light. Recommended for all outdoor enthusiasts.

Zeno Tonneau with Roman Numerals

Another eBay score. I have never owned a Tonneau watch before and I thought it is time to add one to my collection. I have own 1 or 2 Zeno watches and have been pleased with their quality. Definitely quality timepieces for their price range.







Seiko Flightmaster SND253

This is my new daily beater. Got this used off eBay at a reasonable $68 shipped, no box or papers. This watch invoke some mixed feelings for me, it looks better in photos than in real life. What I don't like about this watch is that the case is too small and the dial and bezel looks cramped into a small space. It has a 20mm lug size but the case thickness is 8 mm with the bezel. It is comfortable to wear but it looks a tad bit inadequate on the wrist. Seiko should make with a larger and thicker case. One thing that stands out though is the Seiko 7T92 movement on this watch - the chronograph function is smooth like butter. If you don't mind the smaller and thinner case, this is a quality watch to own.

Zodiac Sea Dragon Chronograph

This was an impulse buy, never got any wrist time. Attractive looking time piece but on closer inspection watch looks like a toy. The chronograph and second hands look more pink than red (in real life). This model does come in a vibrant range of colors. The only thing I like is the case back - the engraving of the Zodiac sea horse logo - looks something like what you would see on the Omega case back.
