Arrived today from Canada.
€45 cheaper than market value (incl import tax)! 🥳
There's a great demand for it but I got one!
Tissot PRX Tiffany.
Would be a great color on the Taycan...🤣😂

Restored, a Seiko 5 automatic from January 1975 so almost 50 years old.
Not perfect but good enough for display.
It has a new faceted crystal (found an original one after a long time!) so the sunburst dial is even more spectaculair!
It does look better irl.
Next one: Seiko Arctura 1998.

NWA: just picked up my first microbrand from Korea, called Pitzmann II (their second release) after seeing a few early reviews online.

40mm case, less than 11mm thickness, powered by a modified Selitta SW300 movement with 50 hr PR, and 150m water resistance with screw down crown, fully lume hr markers and hands. 👍🏼

For a retail price just under $1000, this is a really nice sport/dress no date in the vein of a budget Grand Seiko or Omega Aquaterra. Also being Korean born I'm happy to support a product from the motherland made by people who seem to have a real love of horology 👍🏼

Freshly restored, a Seiko 5 model 7009-876A, 1995.
Getting better at this and it's quite rewarding to do.
One thing to do: replacing the bearing of the rotor, it's wobbly...other than that it works well.

That was about 5 hours of work.
It's hard to keep the sharp lines when polishing the different surfaces...
Anyway, I'm quite pleased with it.

Note: I'm working on cheap watches to get better.
I'm aiming to take a watch apart, cleaning and rebuild it but case refurbishing first.
I already managed to get the hands off and on again. 😎
Step by step into restoring watches so to speak...🤗

Hey, really cool you did that yourself! Turned out great. Certainly a watch like that is going to have a lot more meaning and personal value when you can work on it yourself. I envy that!

Very nice watches here. I stopped wearing my Rolex and Cartier many years ago when I started wearing my Apple watch....I know, I know you don't have to comment )-:

I wish there was an easy way to get a Porsche watch face on the thing! I have seen folks have done it but I have not been able to!

I’d not class myself as a collector and whilst I keep wanting to grab an Omega Seamaster, I know I won’t use it very much. However, I’ve a couple of watches I enjoy occasionally

Firstly my Breitling Navitimer back from Breitling for a service. It’s 1969, the first proper present my Mum gave to my Dad. Dad gave it to me as it needed a lot of money spent on it and he wanted me to restore it and keep it. I have the original manual and receipt for it but no case, sadly although my Dad swears he has it stashed somewhere! Had a full restoration about 8 years ago and I’ve been keeping it ticking since. Lovely thing, a shame I don’t have the original strap but still makes me happy when I wear it!

Also my old daily driver - a Nite MX10. Needs a battery and a service actually but I have an Apple Watch and wear it rarely.

As well as my now daily Apple Watch Ultra, my brilliant G-shock. Used for DIY and other more robust tasks, brilliant thing.

Freshly restored Seiko 5 model 7009-3100 from October 1995.
New crystal, refurbished the case and bracelet.
And I made a sunburst. 🥳
Runs well.

On the right my 2022 Tissot PRX.
Do you follow when I say Tissot has some very 70s styling? 🤗

Yeah, that's a very nice piece. Grand Seiko certainly puts amazing quality and detail. It looks good on the bracelet, though it wouldn't stand out enough for me to want one. However, that strap is fantastic - great choice! It brings some *pop* to the game and wins! I would love to have that one. Thanks for sharing.

Probably the funniest watch meme I've seen in recent months 😂
