That is exactly the problem I am facing Kvamshi04. At least now I have the model number. Earlier I was flying blind. Thanks a ton. Regards

My Fav... Frederique Constant open date career. Understated and elegant.

Pardon the awful pic. Watch looks much better in person.

The stock crystal of my Orient Ray 2 had scratched so much due to daily usage that it required a replacement. Ordered a relatively cheaper double domed sapphire crystal from Aliexpress (shipped to UK and carried by a friend to India). The watch haven't looked this good ever. The double dome plays really well with the light and the depth and sunburst effect on the dial really pops now.



Cost of crystal - Rs.2400
Cost on installation - Rs.250

Planning to upgrade to a ceramic bezel insert once the stock one wears out.

Unbelievable! Never thought that there is a thread on Watches in Team-bhp. I remember my father bought me a digital watch for Rs 18 from Nepal when I was in 2nd standard way back in 1990. After a year or so my maternal uncle gifted me an hmt watch and I was instructed to wind it every day at 4 PM. I used that one for many years. I lost interest in watches after the cell phone evolution, however in last couple of years I have bought few watches and started using them again. After using couple of Fossil watches, I would recommend not go for any fashion brand instead buy one from watch maker brands.
Here is my humble collection

I have two Orises

An Aquis Date 39.5 mm and a Big Crown 1917 (limited edition of 1917 pieces)!

Saved up for three months right after I got my first job for the former, so it's my first big purchase with my own money :)

The latter is a gift from my sister for my graduation, again special :)

Two of my most prized possessions:

1. Seiko 7002-700X with a Marinemaster dial

2. Seliko 4205. This one is older than I am. Got the rubber strap replaced by a metal bracelet

Having started off my accessory design career as a watch designer, am I glad to see analog watches out here, and not the tech trash popular nowadays. Keep it coming!

Throwing in a quick pic of what I'm wearing right now - a Citizen Yellow Analog Stainless Steel Automatic Mens Watch NJ0150-81Z. Dislike the numeric naming, love the colour, so it stays more on my wrist than others I own.

Added two watches to my single watch "Collection" over the past two years. The prior watch was a lonely Casio Ae18W.

1- Garmin Instinct 2 Solar

I love this watch to bits, it's my daily driver. The battery life is superb at 27 days with full-time connectivity, and intermittent Sp02 and Heart rate.
I track all my fitness using this, and I do MMA for fitness yet never had I been scared for the watch.
The inbuilt GPS is quite good and the watch's ruggedness is something I wasn't expecting. I am quite clumsy, and the amount of random brushes this watch has with walls, and doors is huge, yet there is no scratch at all.
Also on battery saver, if you're outdoors, you can essentially have infinite battery life, I have seen it thrice myself.

2. Titan Grandmaster

I Got this watch because frankly, a friend said for my Garmin, that it looks like a toy watch, and honestly, it kinda does.
I like the design of the dial, it's something unique, and there's quite a heft to the watch..

Attaching both of them over here.

Latest purchase
Seiko Prrospex Alpinist GMT

With my trusty Casio Enticer's battery biting the bullet, My Seiko 5 SNK381 got its turn to shine!

My collection of watches. Currently stands at 43 watches. Costliest being an Omega Seamaster at 6.75L and cheapest one is Titan Workwear at 3.5k.

I also have the same one that you have! In addition I have a bunch of Seiko divers and I am attaching what I call a family portrait.This comprises the beautiful and justly famous SKX007 and its 'kids' the Pepsi Sumo PADI Special Edition SPB181J and the 'Grenade' the King Turtle SRPE05.

So good to see this thread. And nice to see many casio, Titan and Seiko fans. My collection primarily has these for now. Initially it was only Titans and Timexes. Then the Casio (God Tier) bug bit and there's no coming out of that rabbit hole now.

My first Seiko ended up being a lovely gift from the family on my birthday recently. Got to say what a classy watch this from the Presage cocktail collection called the Negroni. Love it! And Ethos Watch boutique was was very thoughtful and delivered it with a nice gift wrap and personalised message. Kudos to them for such excellent customer service, they are definitely getting a return customer for sure.

Congrats! That picture does not do justice! That dial looks awesome

Just wondering if anyone got hold of newly launched moons watches from Omega+Swatch.

Quite a steep price for S watch so wondering if they are worth the price being quoted.
