Any Wristwatch Collectors Out There

[The Volusianator]

I used to have a pretty nice collection a couple decades ago, got rid of all of them and just recently started collecting again.

Here's the one that came in the mail today:
Invicta Reserve Viper Venom (this is one large heavy beast)


And the one before it:
Casio Edifice

I love watches! But to say I collect them? I'd be a bit embarrassed. I can't afford any nice, expensive ones. But here are a few highlights of my "collection."

- A thin "Gucci" whose straps are attached to the watch via a conical taper joint (really slick)

- A Hebrew watch with Hebrew numbers (letters) that runs backwards (counterclockwise)

- A Fossil "Big Tic" that displays seconds in Japanese kanji numbers

- A Fossil prism-faced watch

- A fake Omega that looks and runs very much like the real thing (motion-winding)

- A Chinese Mao Tse Tung watch, where Chairman Mao's outstretched hand waves for each tick. (Runs like crap at the best of times)

- A watch with a pulse monitor for exercise (fun toy when you're bored)...

That's about it for now though. Most of these have some kind of personal, sentimental meaning for me but they are all quite cheap. Someday I'll have the cash for a nice watch collection though.

Have more than a few... which is far less than i had previously...

Current high points would I guess be a brace of tudor submariners and a marathon gsar... did have a few breitlings, fortis etc, but you get bored with them sitting in boxes after a while...

Havent had an Invicta, and they've started making them waaaaaaay big now...

Did see the viper on tv though looks nice

Um.m.m.m ... not that I have ever admitted, but I guess I'm always searching for the "perfect" wrist watch, and haven't just "found" it yet.

My father's old Mido watch and a new Mido are the two I wear the most, the rest are dead in a bag somewhere(batteries shot) The Midos are self wind so I do not have to keep up with batteries for them. I have an old silver pocketwatch from Victorian Canada that I paid $15 for on ebyss that keeps perfect time-that was a lucky purchase
