Hi There!
« on: July 04, 2012, 10:18:35 PM »
Greetings fellow watch collectors!

I am rather new to watch collecting and have been following this forum for about 6 months now. Amazed by the spirit of sharing and the help that you guys have  :thumbsup:

My watch collection is rather humble with several automatic and quartz watches, e.g. seiko, citizen, omega, zenith, perrelet and corum. Must admit to being really "obsessed" with watches now!!  ;D :laugh: But my wallet is dying   :( :Praying:

Well that's about it for the intro. Look forward to being a part of the fellowship and interacting with all of you!!

Here they are ....


















Missing my Omega Constellation and Oris Moonphase which have gone for servicing. I admit that I do have a thing for moonphases :)

BTW, any tips on taking photos of watches (mine might be a bit too big)?

Thanks

Thanks a lot guys!

I love the Zenith too. It is classic and the guilloche work is just beautiful.

As for the TX, it's full name is a TX 530 Series World Time Airport Lounge. I bought it on the recommendation of Ariel Adams of ablogtoread fame - here is his article on the watch http://www.ablogtoread.com/tx-530-world-time-airport-lounge-watch-review/ (links are allowed on this Forum, right?). If I am not mistaken, TX is a brand of Timex.

FYI, it was pretty affordable, though I had to hunt high and low for it on the web (it took longer because I was new to watch collecting), but I ultimately nailed it on ebay. :)
