Pure love of some watches that I have

The Tag Heuer is just my first watch that has diamond bezel and mostly likely not for everyday wear but just my experiment with diamond's watch.


The Edox was purchased more than 30 years ago when I started my career in the banking industry, it is a well-made watch and recently I got it to have a full service.  It had been serviced a number of times over the 30 year's  period.  To me and I am sure for most of us, the first "decent" watch always have sentimental value.

Ok,  the Grand Seiko quartz GMT with "forest green" dial, this year I am hit by the GS passion, and I certainly love the dark green dial with a useful GMT function.  It is accurate to +/- 5 seconds per year and I do not doubt that.  The price is not cheap for a quartz watch but built quality is excellent.

The Russian watch was purchased when I went to St. Petersburg earlier in this August, just love the vintage style and also the manual winding.

The Grand Seiko Automatic GMT is another one I got recently, the dial is amazing and it keep very accurate time for an automatic, on par with Rolex.  

The Cartier Santos needs no explanation and I purchased it mainly because of the history behind it and I absolutely love the time only watch.  Though it would be even nicer if it is manual wind.  I love to wind watches.

Last, but not least, the Oris which is a re-edition of the 1917 model.  It is a faithful re-edition but larger at 40mm, I wish it could be around 36mm.  And adjusting the time is not convenient since I have to press firmly at the button at 2 O'clock position to do it.  Anyhow, it is a lovely watch.

Once hit by the Love of watches, it becomes a very interesting hobby, passion and an addiction.

...loving your collection, as you obviously do, is most important. Cheers D

I was trying to see if there was a theme. I think you just enjoy them without any specific reason.

So it is safe to say the love affair is 30+ years old. Thanks for sharing. Bill
