Nevermind, should have read the thread before asking.

I am working on paring things down to about 15 watches. This is the current box I have. Not included are a couple of modded divers that are in the process of getting new dials that I am making.

Image
Image
MWC G10 with Tritium- my early morning god walking watch. 40mm, which is in the big side for me, but It is a solid keeper.

Image
Lorus Lumibrite military style (ref. Goes here)- 38mm. This thing is an absolute torch. Highly readable, very light and is amazing on Barton canvas.

Image
Citizen Ecodrive Chandler (ref. Goes here)- 38mm The first nice watch that was gifted to me off of my Amazon list. Fully lumed numbers and respectable lume. Looks good in a bracelet or canvas.
Image
Timex 36mm Scout. I like the size and dial design, but I wish that the contrast was better. Why they picked tan text is beyond me. This is a placeholder for my incoming Momentum SLK. As such it is in the digital section.

Image
Casio G-Shock 5600 basic square- Got this gently used at a good price. Currently on NATO with 3D printed 22mm adapters. It is big in me, so this one may be leaving the box at some point.

Image
Timex Ironman with Indiglo- I had a ‘93 version in middle school, which is long gone. This one is the same coloring, but from ‘01. A sentimental watch pick, but also very functional.
IMG_0164.jpg
Timex Todd Snyder Military Scout- 40mm and feels a little big on me. I like the lumed numerals and overall layout, but the sub-second track on a quartz watch makes no sense at all. Looks good on all kinds of NATOs and probably many other straps given the chance. Just chunkier in me than where I am otherwise landing on field watches.
IMG_0141.jpg
38 mm Timex Military Chronograph (made in 2000). I had a larger Chrono, but the smaller size and military styling suit me much better. Came on a Timex branded stock stainless bracelet, that is comfortable if not a little jangly thanks to the hollow end links. I should be able to bend those into position to resolve the problem. If am in the mood to time things without an alarm, then this is my go to.

It is an easy to read, small analog Chrono and it is all stainless steel, so that is a lot from Timex. One of their better designs and sporting a decent central Chrono hand movement. This is a watch worthy of a reissue. As watch sizes come back down, I wouldn’t be surprised if this one comes back, though I wonder if it would match the original.

I looked at other military Chronos in this size (Pulsar, Citizen, etc.), but this one won out for the non-flat dial and cost (snagged for $30).
IMG_0142.jpg
Seiko 5 SNK783. My first Seiko 5, and my first blue watch. Dressier than most of my watches. I keep trying this on different straps, but nothing I have found so far feels just right. Brown leather works pretty well, but I don’t usually wear leather. I will try it again this winter on brown leather as that will be a better season for it.

Technically, I really like it. I just don’t feel like wearing it as often as my other watches. It is nice to have a dress watch option that is blue, but I don’t dress up often.

This may not be a long term keeper and I feel bad about that. I want to like it, so we will see. I am pretty sure this takes a 38.5mm dial, so I could mod it.
IMG_0146.jpg
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air King.
My default dress/out to dinner watch. From my late FIL, this watch is permanently in the collection. He bought it new in 1960 and wore it neArly every day for about 50 years. The bracelet was very worn, and filthy, so it was replaced with an aftermarket jubilee bracelet. It actually appears to be an 18mm bracelet with 19mm endlinks. I keep trying to find a 19mm solid jubilee, but I dint think they are currently made. I might need to look Vintage.

My dad doesn't do forums, but he is a full on WIS, so when I was hanging out with him today, I decided to take some pics of his watch box and do a little SOTC for him. I am not gonna go into details of all the watches, but if you have any questions as to what one is, I will try to answer it. There are a few I am missing, but whatever. I am just stoked to have a WIS for a dad!

On to the pics, enjoy!

I'm going to shamelessly bump this thread because I just took the annual SOTC pic. It's crappy quality but should portray everything.
DSC_0129.jpg
From L to R:

1. Timex Intelligent Quartz World Time, on Haveston canvas NATO. I like this one a good bit. If it wasn't so large it'd probably be a definite keeper. A bit on the fence about it because of that.

2. Citizen Promaster Tough, on stock H-link bracelet. Really the beater to end all beaters. A recent acquisition. It's a bit plain, but just so solid in every way, and the stock H-link bracelet is truly nice (best clasp I've seen on a Citizen).

3. Frederique Constant Moonphase quartz, on burgundy WatchGecko Horween Chromexcel strap. My trusty dress watch and one of only two survivors of the 2018 collection. The size of this one is perfect for me. I'm starting to wear it more now that I've been trying different straps.

4. Glycine Combat Sub, on stock oyster bracelet. One of my favorites in the collection. So slim, elegant and rugged at the same time. The bracelet is great on it, and NATO straps wear even better! This one is almost certainly a definite keeper.

5. Citizen NY-008 "Fugu" Pepsi diver, on Cheapestnatostraps stretch single-pass NATO. Probably my favorite watch in the collection. Just everything about the case, bezel, and dial design is so wonderful. This one will never leave.

6. Seiko SPB087 Pepsi "MM200", on Strapcode Jubilee bracelet. This is a relative newcomer, and the second MM200 I've owned. The bezel feel on this one is much better than my first, and the Strapcode bracelet alleviates my other pick with it. I love the colorway, and my only gripe is that it's quite large even though it wears small. I think this one is probably staying.

7. Zelos Hammerhead 2 Bronze, blue dial, on stock rubber strap. This is another newcomer. Truthfully at this point I'm much less enamored with it than I thought I'd be. It's really a novelty watch. It's done so well and the quality is superb. Going to give this one a while to see if it catches on.

8. (Top) Seiko Samurai "Save the Ocean", on stock oyster bracelet. I keep battling over this one. On the one hand, it's big and wears big. On the other hand, the dial is absolutely stunning and the bezel action is really superb. Will probably know on this one in the next couple months.

9. Zodiac Grandrally chronograph, on WatchGecko beads of rice bracelet. This one is a fixture in the collection. The colors are just perfect, the case shape and dial layout is terrific (and well it should be, being practically a reissue of Zodiac's Heuer-produced chronographs from the 80's). The Swiss quartz movement isn't nearly as precise as a Japanese one which is no surprise, but it's still good enough that this one is staying, the first chronograph to do so for me.

10. Seiko 6309-8239, on Cheapestnatostraps oak leather NATO. This belonged to a dear friend of mine (really a surrogate grandfather) who passed away a while ago. It's currently nonfunctional, but gets occasional office wear when it works. This one is never leaving obviously.

Here's the current SOTC (left to right, top to bottom):

-- Squale Tropic GMT Ceramica
-- Seiko World Time 6117-6010 (1968 w/ "error" bezel)
-- Seiko SKX013 (mod: coin-edge bezel & pepsi insert)
-- Oris Divers Sixty-Five (blue & black dial)
-- Yema Superman Heritage GMT (gray/blue)
-- Citizen PMD56-2952 (titanium, radio-controlled)
-- Seiko Samurai SRPB51 (mod: coin-edge bezel & stainless insert)
-- Nezumi Voiture VQ2.601 (meca-quartz)
-- Timex Q Timex Reissue

That Yema is my latest acquisition. Couldn't resist when Gnomon suddenly had more of that LE run earlier this month. I might be selling the Squale soon as a result.

- Omega Seamaster Quartz (1977) 196.0078
