My budding collection...

Recommended Posts

Junior88

I figured this might be a good place to document my collection. This is basically for myself, and anyone else that might care. 

It's only been in the works for about 8 weeks, so I figured I would start with a group shot:

I will try and congregate some individual watch shots that I have, paired with new ones. The lighting in my office is abysmal, and it's evening now with a storm on the way. I do apologize for the shitty light.

Beautiful collection ... !

I see that you love the Daytona's and Speedy's. I want a Speedy Moonwatch to but could not pull the trigger do to the subdials. The GMT and Carnera are nice additions. What'sup with that Canadian watch of yours !?!

I love Daytona's and Speedy's absolutely. I got that particular Moonwatch because it's a handwinder. I wanted the Professional, but the Lemania is out of production. One day maybe. 

 

That "Canadian Watch" is actually my Huawei smartwatch, with a face done by a good friend of mine. It's a replica of one of these:

Look through those collections. The watches are stunning.

Have a look through those beauties. I'll never, EVER find a rep of one of them, so that was the best I could do. My Huawei has almost 800 different watch faces, and it's the reason I started looking for the reps I'm buying now. 

 

Most of the faces in those collections, both the Avro Arrow collection and the contemporary collection, have been done for me by my friend Iain. They're all on my watch.

Wow .. 800 watch faces !?!

Did you download them, design them, steal them somewhere?!? ... I was looking at a Samsung Gear S3 not long ago.

I have to look these Huawei smartwatch up!

I can't make a watchface to save my life. There are communities out there just like this one, just for smartwatch faces. I have an app on my watch called Watchmaker, and all the watches I download go in there. 

The Gear S3, while it is a nice watch, is Tizen powered, not Android. It's very problematic when trying to use a program like Watchmaker.  

 

I just checked my Watchmaker backup program. I currently have 820 watchfaces.  I've had a few smartwatches, and the Huawei watch first version is the nicest one I've had. The Huawei watch 2 works just as well, but in my opinion doesn't look as classy as the H1 with a nice steel bracelet, or a milanese loop band.

I have a Gear S3 classic, was having a couple of hundred faces on here (didn't care to put them back on it after my last update) most of them done by myself.
Watchmaker is absolutely no issue on Tizen and Tizen is an overall better smartwatch OS than Android, lot more thought for smartwach and with better functionality.

I still prefer to not use any watchmaker app and use the software offered by samsung to design native watchfaces.

The only down side of Tizen is the lack of a developed app market

Yup, bet it's even nicer there. Last time we did it was at a bar in a freaking Nordstrom. https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/member-get-together-events/326813-impromptu-toronto-gtg

The best part of a GTG in Niagara Falls in the summertime?

Eye Candy. 

And not the wrist variety, either.

And this is the Daytona 116500 that I got M2M from @fatarms. This is a DHGate cheapie believe it or not. Looks and feels really nice.  He did a platinum paint mod on the bezel.

And this is my favourite. It never gets any wrist time, because I don't want to wreck it. Daytona 6263. Purchased through Andrew at Trusty Time.
