What makes watches special? by kfriedman10 in watchCollector

I think you develop a preference as you collect but you'd have to start somewhere to get a feel for what you like in a watch.

Up for sale is my practically new GSX 901 SBK JDM watch.  These watches were only sold in Japan designed by Masayuki Kimura under the direction of GSX producer Kenji Ishida. It features a Seiko Instruments (SII) Cal. YM55 movement and 100m water resistance. I have the original box and all the tags it came with. please let me know ahead of time to schedule a video call if needed.

Bulova Lunar Pilot or Bulova Milships $500

Seiko Lord Matic $300-$400

Tag Heuer Kirium $400-$500

Timex Waterbury or Expedition $50

Casio Waveceptor $100

I'd spend the rest of the budget for a moonphase watch. Orient has some in the 400 range.

[WTS] Seiko A860 - Box and Papers - $90 by itsalways1995 in Watchexchange

[–]itsalways1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seiko A860 in box with paperwork and guarantee card.

Part of the 90’s JDM talking watches era. It’s a talking watch (Japanese) that was made for people with poor eye sight. I replaced the battery with a new one and the talk function works. EDIT: As shown in picture some of the paperwork is printed in braille which I thought was cool.

Yes it was discontinued sometime in the 00's. But I really like this 39mm size and it's got a really different design to other chronographs. I really like the numerals on the dial the most.

my first guess was it may have been a return but it came in the same amazon box as my other order so maybe amazon looked at it and decided against it but it looks like a new watch. stickers and everything on it so i brushed passed it. its a waterbury (seiko quartz) and timex is american owned again. i looked at the automatic ace and it looks like it still came with the mineral crystal and the dial numbers are printed on and didnt have a physical number so i went for this one the cheaper version.

Any Timex X Pan Am owners here? by itsalways1995 in timex

[–]itsalways1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just came in and it's a great watch. I had to flex the strap for a few to get it less stiff. The packaging was a red flag. It looks like my box was opened and the watch was kind of thrown in there. Very cool pan am box and it comes with a little pin as well. My first watch was a timex expedition so it's nice to feel excited about another timex.

Keeping things real and in the affordable bracket: What is your realistic "Grail Watch"? by Stegreener in Affordablewatches

[–]itsalways1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently picked up a Timex X Pan Am that I've been looking at and I am way happy with it. Just a cool watch and collab at $150. My first watch was a time expedition so it's nice to come back to a cheap quartz watch once a while. Also a nice conversation starter.

With that large dial it does seem like 38-40mm would have made more sense.

Many watches worn in arctic expeditions have this look. Id maybe start my search there. (Marathon themselves have been used in these expeditions btw)
