Let me be childish for a moment and say 'same pinch'!

I've had an F91W since I was a little boy (my first watch), and this particular piece for nearly a decade. Original cell, strap replaced recently (tough to find, huge demand apparently).

Swatch have their own service centre in Bangalore, at
Lancer Building, #120, 2nd Floor, Brigade Rd, Ashok Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560025, phone: 080-45412200.

I realised Swatch watches get lifetime free battery replacement, when I went to their Delhi service centre yesterday. Two of my Swatch watches had their batteries replaced free of cost. Even my Tissot T-touch was calibrated free of cost.

Thanks. Yes, I tried them and they won’t service the watch outside warranty. As far as I remember correctly, they told me, they won't repair in warranty too, but offers a good discount for the next purchase.

Just got my first dive watch - the humble mdv-106 by Casio! Looks great to me.

I have a Tissot Powermatic that is due for a service/recalibration? Is this something that this center will do?

Recently got this HMT Rajat textured dial.

Oh! Sorry man. I just forwarded in a hope that it will be helpful. Not sure about this. Please check with Casio customer care.

Found these watches at my parents' home during mandatory Diwali cleaning. All these watches were never used as even the plastic covering their bracelets and dials are intact. I am not into watches so please help me identify these with their approx prices and place where I could sell them.







Mods - We have a separate thread for wrist watches, completely missed that. Please move my post to that thread. Thanks

Got my first much awaited HMT pilot!

[turbowhistle]

Surprise gift from the missus. Thought the color won’t go with all but so far it’s blends pretty nice. Build quality is similar to other Seiko 5 sport models but the bracelet is much much better.

Acquired 3 watches recently.

This one is a Timex which I couldn't resist. Pretty classy in my opinion. Size is slightly on the bigger size for my wrist.



Other 2 are old HMT Janta & Seiko 5- both in running condition but will get them serviced:

We have just come back from a 14 day family visit in Barbados, West Indies.

There are a couple of very nice jeweller shops on the islands, which to us is also tax-free. Last time when I visited I had my eye on these Citizen Eco-watches. Did not buy any then. But this time I bit the bullet and got my self a Promaster Skyhawks A-T Men’s Eco-Drive, the blue Angel version:

https://www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/p...ic-timekeeping

I have never owned a watch like this. It is light powered and its timekeeping synchronises every day by radio signal with an atomic clock.

I always think Citizen watches appear to be a bit underrated. I think they provide really good value for money and they have some really nice models too. This watch cost me $435 and comes with a 6 year warrantee!

It comes in this cool box!



This particular watch comes in a number of variants. I choose this one, because I really like to colour combination of the deep dark blue and bright yellow.



It is my biggest watch yet, bigger than my Breitling Navitimer. Case width is 46mm!

Much to my surprise it also rated at 200m, which means it is suitable for swimming and snorkelling. Although I will not do that, as the strap is leather.



Special Blue Angles logo on the back.



This watch is quite complicated. It comes with a 60 page manual. I am still in the process of figuring out how to set everything and work all the functions.

Due to its atomic timekeeping it is incredible accurate. It can show UTC and two different time zones, has a countdown timer, 1/100 chronograph, two indepent alarms, month/day/date, daylight saving per time zone, power reserve indicator.

And a bezel with all kinds of slide rule (some aviation related) functions.

Very happy with it, nice addition to my watch collection.

And of course is it light powered. Even under artificial light it still charges.

That is a very good piece of equipment at a nice price!

The only thing you might need for swimming/diving/snorkelling is a NATO strap in Blue Angels theme
