Relaxed SOTC

[whatmeworry]

Second group - The Russians!



The Amphibia blue dude is another one of those watches I bought early on, sold, and then replaced. I've owned and sold 2 other Amphibias since then (a Ship's Commander and a blue dialled ministry) and now have these 4. The Radio Room is the newest addition and my current favourite.
There's so much to like about these Vostoks, cheap, solid, distinctive and lots of fun.

Next solo piece is this vintage Omega Constellation, which I bought a year or so ago. The dial has been refinished, and not perfectly, which meant I got it for a hell of a lot less than an untouched piece in similar condition would have cost, but that doesn't bother me at all.

It's a very pretty watch, and a nice size too

Yes, it's one of those watches that makes me welcome having the wrists of a teenage girl

Unfortunately you won't get it until Wednesday as I'm away for a couple of days. But yes, will probably be Casio next.

[Der Amf]

OK, I'm done with patience. Next!

I wasn't kidding about this being relaxed...
Casio group shot

I love me a Casio, cheap, functional, fun. I've probably owned twice as many as are represented here

Okay, roughly back to front
DW290 - the pre g-shock, the watch Tom Cruise wore in Mission: Impossible. The first time I saw this in a WRUW thread I knew I had to have one, it's a beast, but wears well as Casios tend to. Here it is with some broccoli in the background for Raza.


AMW320 - this is big for me but wears well. I got mine cheap off eBay and the alarm doesn't work but it's still a fun watch, especially on the Nato


W94HF - I wanted a digital watch that worked on a Nato and this works perfectly. Small and low profile, but still kind of badass looking.


AE1200 - The Casio Royale - wonderfully 80s and geek cool


Yellow F91W - the Al Qaeda watch in fetching mustard yellow


G-Shock GS300 - this was the first expensive (relatively speaking) watch I owned. My daily wearer for about 3 years. Still love it


W735H - Looks like a G but much cheaper. And it has a vibrating alarm!


F91W in black - the classic

Today's solo piece is the Seiko SKX013, the mid-size version of the classic SKX007.
I've tried a few Seiko divers, the 007, 031, 033, orange Monster, black Monster and Sumo, but the smaller 013 is the one that works best for me. It's a great size and extremely handsome, my only complaint are the slightly rattly hollow end links.
