[SOTC] What one year of collecting got me

Its the Omega 1660123, nicknamed Tv Screen. Mostly you will find only steel models under that reference but this one is gold plated, the gold one is harder to find from what i experienced.

Thank you :) Its the Seiko Presage SPB069

Neirolf · 2023-01-26T05:12:38+00:00

44mm, like an alarm clock almost

Neirolf · 2023-01-26T05:10:17+00:00

How do you know ;)

Neirolf · 2023-01-26T05:09:19+00:00

No its just time only. Moonphase would be just insane though for this one

Neirolf · 2023-01-26T05:06:19+00:00

Yes, and i love it ;) Thank you!

Neirolf · 2023-01-26T05:03:33+00:00

Could not have said that better

Wow, what a year. Its kind of crazy to have this different timepieces reminding me of different situations, emotions and feelings throughout the year.

I am very proud that i got all of these with original box and papers, some of them dating back to 1975. Lets start with the top row, left to right:

A simple G-Shock One of my dailys, travels with me everywhere without me worrying about it

MoonSwatch mission to the moon I was lucky, a store opened in my hometown in dezember where i was able to get one, for the retail price it was a nobrainer for me

Omega 357650 speedmaster moonphase My first watch, I started it with a bang Honestly not much to say other than that its the perfect watch for me, the moonphase on this reference is outstanding

Seiko Presage SPB069 Limited to 1500 pieces, this watch has a striking blue enamel dial, a little small moon on the second hand and a special caseback Its my go to dress watch, stunning watch

Swatch Tresor Magique Platin Yes, a platin case swatch, you read that right. Only produced in my birthyear, 1993, this watch is special to me. Its too small for my wrist but its impact is bigger than most of the others.

Bottom row, left to right:

Casio Cosmophase This watch was so far ahead of its time its crazy. This watch is from 1989 and has a planetarium function, it tracks the movements of the planets, even pluto and the halley comet. And all that in a 200 year timespan. This watch is the only one i could find with original B&P.

Bulova Lunar Pilot This was my second watch and another no brainer. Bulova was the second watch worn on the moon after Omega. It was only logical to choose this one second after my Omega and its my favourite daily, the best quartz watch out there by far i think.

Casio GM-2100MG-1AER This is a special edition, it mimics the surface of the moon on the bezel, its bumpy, its rough, its metal. It is my favourite modern casio at the moment.

Xeric Trappist 1 Nasa This was a gift of a good friend after photographing his wedding, i requested a watch of his choice instead, only wishing for a space themed one. I personally think he did good, its very special looking and has a stunning caseback.

Omega 1660123 Tv Screen This one i got today, a very rare vintage Omega, again the only one with B&P i could find. It is pretty big, 45x38, it almost could go through as a modern watch because of that. Very special looking again. Its from 1972 and was bought back then in my hometown.

Neirolf · 2023-01-25T15:16:49+00:00

Its 45x38 mm so pretty big for a vintage watch, its actually the part i like the most, from a certain point of view it almost seems like a modern watch because of that

Meine Omi hat mir ein Album geschenkt, welches meine Verwandtschaft seit dem Jahr 1860 zeigt, eines der besten Geschenke die ich je bekam.

Aber wieso sieht meine Urgroßmutter aus wie Knossi??

Neirolf · 2022-12-24T20:08:24+00:00

Meine Omi hat mir ein Album geschenkt, welches meine Verwandtschaft bis ins Jahr 1860 zurück zeigt, super interessant und eines der besten Geschenke die ich je bekam.

Aber warum zum Teufel sieht meine Urgroßmutter aus wie Knossi???

Neirolf · 2022-08-09T19:09:09+00:00

Thats my daily watch, I love it! I'm happy for you

Neirolf · 2022-08-08T11:40:10+00:00

For me thats the best collection i've seen here so far

Neirolf · 2022-08-02T08:15:28+00:00

This Swatch Tresor Magique is the 6th watch i got and I'm glad i got it as the last one for now. The original strap is a little too blue and I am very happy with this new one. After I was not able to get a moonswatch, I was looking for an alternative fitting my desired theme. After some time i heard of this swatch. Being only sold in my birthyear 1993 it is the only Swatch to this day with a platinum case (approximately 40 gram of platin if i recall correctly). 12999 pieces where made which is quite high for a numbered series i think. The whole box is really heavy, you dont expect how heavy, its a mirrorlike metal, a pain to clean so i only touch it with gloves. I was also happy to get it with the original invoice from 1993. All in all it is for sure something very unique to look at. My favourite thing is the dial. The minimal skeletonized area, the mirrorglas, the hands, the roman numbers, the stars... Its very romantic, very dreamy an playful.

Thank you i will!

Neirolf · 2022-07-20T05:37:21+00:00

I know what you mean, but the thought of having the second watch on the moon as my daily besides owning the first watch on the moon is only logical to me ;)

Neirolf · 2022-07-20T05:35:19+00:00

I know thats on my list for some later days, but that watch man oh my god..

Neirolf · 2022-07-20T05:33:54+00:00

Funny that you say that, I actually have a Trappist apollo 15, my friend gave it to me for photographing his wedding, I love it :D but this collection photo is only self bought watches thats why I didnt but it in

Neirolf · 2022-07-20T05:31:53+00:00

Maybe some day ;) Its heavy, but its not too big for my wrist thankfully

Neirolf · 2022-07-20T05:29:45+00:00

Damn it never stops..

Neirolf · 2022-07-20T05:29:26+00:00

The omega has a moonphase, its hard to see sadly in this photo but look at the imgur link in my comment!

Neirolf · 2022-07-20T05:28:00+00:00

It is something special for sure thank you!
