My box with the new addition



And these two, maybe getting rid of the Accurist if anyone’s interested, on the original rubber strap.

Thanks FurballS2000, nice little collection that!!
Come on the rest of you, Barchettaman(thatsoddingoperasinger) proposes a good idea with a state of the collection post each!!!

Apologies for rubbish photo, far too many Abbot Ales during the rugby..

Far left column are work watches (I work in a very bad environment for watches...)
The Suunto X-Lander is about knackered but still tells the time.
Spaces are reserved for a Corgeut Speedy, and two others, one will likely be another diver and one either a field or Casio digital.
Note the slight size difference between the Protrek and Timex...

Must get a watch box. Also have an old Fossil watch in a drawer somewhere in storage... will see if it’s still working when we move house and empty the storage unit.

Will try to do a pic of my selection once I can get in the house again. Currently exiled to a hotel due to the eldest son testing positive for c19

I saw those accurists really cheap on watchshop and was almost tempted but I thought I didn't need another cheap quartz that probably wouldn't get worn after the first week.


I know my previous specific swap thread got pulled but would there be any issue if we posted up on here anything we fancied swapping?

I've got a couple of Seikos I don't wear plus a few other random ones that I'd happily trade just to change things up a bit.

I certainly don't have an issue with it, I sincerely hope that no one else does either, I think the ability to swap watches between people would allow us all to try different watches without spending extra money out!!!

Hope all is well sir!

Ok then, I've spoken to a friend who just happens to be a Mod on here, he's advised against offering a swap service openly on the thread, which is a shame but as it directly contravenes the sites rules understandable, so I would advise people to communicate through PM if you wish to swap your watches.

Thanks for the concern, the lad seems to be mildly unwell so not so worried atm (he's only 20 and is normally quite fit & healthy.) It's going to prove somewhat tricky for my youngest lad and I though, it seems to me that we can't go home at the moment without getting stuck in isolation, but equally hmg seems to be intent on closing the hotels again so we could end up living in the van again like we had to at the beginning of this nightmare

Same here, I wanted a new bracelet for my turtle so that'll do the job nicely!

Doh missed it, looks great for a tenner.

Is cheating allowed? This was £150 on Kickstarter before the exchange rates plummeted. RRP is a bit more now. Was going to get rid but rather like it on the watch gecko rubber strap. NH35 powered Canadian lump:



No AR on the crystal, I was looking to replace it with one from cousins but on measuring it’s 3.3mm thick and they only sell up to 2.5, not sure if that’ll work just without pushing it in so far and rely on friction to hold in place.
