Junior88 387 Posted January 15, 2019 And here we have a DHGate Seamaster Aqua Terra. Very comfortable watch, keep pretty accurate time. Has a lume albeit not a very good one. Display caseback looks pretty. Solid watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior88 387 Posted January 15, 2019 Just a quick one here. This is a Bell and Ross BR03-92. This one was gifted to me by @Luxuracer and I greatly appreciate it. She's a big one, that's for sure but I like it. It has definite presence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior88 387 Posted January 15, 2019 This next one is supposed to be a Patek Philippe 39701W. No idea if that's true or not. I picked it up recently M2M from @DallasGTA for the paltry sum of $40. I'm going to re-strap it, but it has a vintage look and feel to it that I really like for some reason. This one needs no introduction. Rest in peace, Gary. This one will remain a treasure in my collection as long as I walk this earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior88 387 Posted January 15, 2019 And also recently picked up a gen. Casio Edifice EF527D-1AV Got it half price right after Christmas. It'll be a good daily watch that I won't worry about beating up at work. Also water resistant to 100m so I don't have to worry about rain or snow getting in it.

Junior88 387 Posted January 15, 2019 Another DHGate purchase, a quartz Tag Heuer Carrera 1974 McLaren edition. This is a BIG watch. Functional chronograph, not much of a lume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior88 387 Posted January 15, 2019 PAM 524 Flyback. This was an M2M purchase from @BADAPPLE She's a beast. Very comfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior88 387 Posted January 15, 2019 And last but not least: The Tag Heuer Carrera Monaco Grand Prix. I STILL have a WTB thread out there for this watch with an A7750 in it. If anyone has one they wish to part with, please PM me. That said, I was absolutely stunned to find this on the Gate. It's quartz with a functional chronograph. The lume is terrible but it's there. I did a lot of searching for this one and all the TD's with the A7750 were out of stock so I was happy to get this. Maybe one day I'll get the one I want but this will do in the interim. So that's it for now. I have 4 or 5 more inbound so hopefully will be adding more soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, Aren! A few of my watches are straight from TD's, there are some M2M purchases and a LOT are DHGate. A few are Gate cheapies, but most are in the $60-$100 range, and you get some pretty nice stuff in that price range that doesn't break the bank. As for my job?

I'm a tow truck driver Nice pick up from fatarms. Nice watches all, from all sources. I just bought a beautiful Gen watch that I really like from a member, but I can't see the time on my wrist very well. It reminds me of the Cellini, so I don't know if a rep Cellini is a good choice for me. beautiful watches whether gens or reps. Reps have come far in the past many years. It's amazing! I don't know if I see well enough to see and evaluate watches on DHG, but I am considering it after CNY. Maybe I'll get lucky. Warmest Contgrats on your great collection. I liked the photos, and I really appreciated the large close ups...because my visions stinks. Anyway, I enjoyed your thread. Thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior88 387 Posted January 22, 2019 Today's BEAUTIFUL new addition. Noob Factory Breitling SuperOcean. She's sporting an A2836 movement. Bezel is damned solid. Even the rubber strap is more comfortable than I was expecting. Thanks to @k3rm87 For the sale from down under! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junior88 387 Posted January 24, 2019 Another addition to the watchbox today, and it's another gen. The Citizen Eco Drive AT8020-03L Blue Angels edition. I LOVE this watch. The lume is amazing. I love the radio controlled time setting, the light charging, everything. I've barely scratched the surface of what this watch does. I'll be playing with it for awhile. That said, I couldn't get the one I wanted on a steel bracelet so I settled for this one. I WILL source the steel bracelet somewhere. This strap is ok, but it ain't me.

Junior88 387 Posted January 25, 2019 Another addition to the watchboxes today. Never thought I'd see this one in there, or see it repped in any way but here it is. The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8 Dark Side of the Moon. Released at Baselworld 2018. This is a cheap DHGate copy (Think I paid about $75 for it) The top pusher moves the left subdial (presumable the day of the week) and the bottom pusher advances right subdial (for the day of the month) Bottom subdial moves in a 24 hour patters, like a day/night cycle so you can pretty much guess which movement is in it. Second hand is NOT frozen. It IS an automatic with a display caseback to the completely wrong movement (and the caseback is wrong too, but who gives a fuck). The strap is also wrong, but that's easily remedied. The strap that is on it is stiff as a frigging board. Literally. All in all, I think they did a really good job capturing the aesthetics of the original watch, at least in a basic DHGate sort of way. Close enough that a dumb fuck like me bought it, and I will enjoy it. On to the pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted January 25, 2019 Looking great ! The essential stuffs are here ! Pretty sure it the same movement than the one in the Gate VC ! Nice pick up ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking too. Don't know what movement that is but it functions identically. Thanks buddy, I really like it. Astounded when I found it on the Gate.

Junior88 387 Posted January 26, 2019 And another addition today, just picked up at the post office. Citizen NP1010-01L This is a VERY striking watch, in my humble opinion. Won't be wearing this one much as it's a bit dressy for the tow truck scene, but I really love the blue dial on this one. Almost seems to shimmer in the light. Pictures are NOT doing this one any justice at all. Thanks very much to @Hawkinssg for basically selling this in a fire sale. She's a beauty that I will always keep.
