A few Citizen eco drives, my favorites!

Now I've retrieved my other watches from my Dad, here's a revised pic of the Seiko collection.

Plus, the Swatch Winter Race! Top row is 2x 6692-7040 hand winders, identical except for face colour, both 1969.
Bottom: 6309-7290 Divers, 5M63-0A50 Kinetic, and 6309 ebay cheapie. I think I'm going to need a winder...

I dug this out of the drawer recently.

It's a Tegrov, Swiss made 17 jewels 'Alarm Deluxe' . You can set the red hand (seen here at 6) at any time you want the alarm to go off and it buzzes. You have to wind it up of course.

My mother bought me this watch either for my birthday or Christmas 1972, from the next door neighbour's Freemans catalogue.

The watch still works and I've started wearing it again.

I have just found a scan of a catalogue page of this watch on the bay of E. It’s a slightly later version with a name change, but it is the same watch.

What I need is the self-winding digital

Wasn't going to buy anymore watches for a while, but it's an illness with me. Got tempted by this, this week.
G Steel flavour of G Shock, solar & atomic....... Its a big mutha, possibly too big !

Bought this new in 1998, I don’t wear it every day anymore but still enjoy it.

I have this Casio. Never understood the motive for spending lots of money on a watch. It tells the time, a watch that costs 100 times as much doesnt do it any better. In fact this is more useful than most expensive watches because I can tell the time in the dark.

Well, you know, you can only wear one watch at a time, just like riding bikes

 

[Gunk]

I’ve been wearing this recently, I’ve owned it for over 30 years and although it’s now a bit out of fashion as it’s so small I still like it.

Basic and well-worn Casio, I normally hate digital clocks but it bought to use the stop watch function back in the day (about 10 years ago) when I was sad enough to try to time my bike rides (which I no longer do) but I have grown used to it and wear it all the time. It does everything I need a watch to do, and has a backlight should I feel the need to use it in the dark. A replacement strap was sourced from Ebay a few years ago. Cost almost as much as the watch...

A £200 bike will do the same job as a £2000 bike.......
A £20 fishing rod will do the same job as a £4k Pole.......
An £8k Dacia will do the same job as an £80k Range Rover........
A "insert anything cheap here" will do the same job as a "insert anything expensive here".........
Does it really matter?
If I want to spend £4k on a watch..and can afford to....and I enjoy owning it then why not?
I work with a bloke who has 150+ pairs of Adidas trainers...why?Who cares he likes collecting them He doesn't wear them and they're all in boxes in his spare room
When in Paris for my 50th last year I saw a €38k Breitling...If i had €38k spare I'd buy it tomorrow!

Here are mine.
I wear both of them, almost every day.
