It was only a Guess, it was only a Guess.

But this fashion watch was my first watch. It was a gift from my father. It’s the one that got me into the rabbit hole of watch collecting when the bracelet broke down after 9 years and I missed a link and I can not replace it with a new strap because it has no lugs so I had to get a new watch. And I did get a new watch, and then some more. But I think I’m done now. I think I have got all the bases covered. And here are the watches in my collection, in chronological order.

Guess

I don’t know the reference number, or the model’s name. Your Guess is as good as mine. I had a replica of the link I missed made at a local watchmaker so I can wear the watch again. I’m going to keep this watch forever. It has day, date, and 24 hour subdials. The date subdial is currently not working though.

G-Shock Casioak GA-B2100-3A

The watch I bought for my outdoor activities. I needed a watch with 200m water resistance to go swimming in rivers.

Seiko 5 Sports SRPK29

I don’t dive, I barely swim, but I have always wanted a diver for its rotating bezel. I’m fidgety.

Orient Bambino 38 RA-AC0M08Y

I gave my previous dress watch, a Seiko Presage Gimlet (which was really cool btw, I liked it a lot) to my sister’s boyfriend because he also likes watches. So I need a new dress watch. And I got lucky. I found out about this limited edition release through Orient’s official Instagram account, and apparently no one else did, so I managed to get one in copper color. One out of 360 released. It’s a shame that they’re not numbered.

Swatch Shades Of Neon SO28J700

I bought this one to commemorate Black Friday 2023.

    Hahahaha

    That steering wheel was a nice touch, much better is the PlayStation logo on it.

    PS I’m on a similar path, it’s a disease. In technical terms it is called horologiorum collectaneorum morbus 😉

    While I hope for a Coke

    Or something else from Rolex

    Now I’m going to Ted

    The AD’s being a dick

    Baldassarre’s my best bet

    Not a Seiko

    And I just can’t look, it’s JLC
