[Collection] Why does my watch box say about me? (alien.top)
 

Here’s my watch box. What assumptions can you guys make about me? Most of them are older quartz watches, the the exception of the Seiko with the brown trap, which in an old automatic. I wear one every day, and lately have been wearing the rectangular Seiko and the Casio calculator lately. Let me know if you have any questions about them :)

I also have a Waltham watch from roughly that time period belonging to my great grandfather. It doesn’t work either, and though I am considering restoring it as well, I could never sell it. It’s an important piece of my family’s history.

18 countries is really impressive. I don’t know if I’ve been to that many in my life. Glad the watch has served you well the past 25 years, and I hope it serves you well for 25 more :)

For those curious about the Seiko, this is it. Doesn’t have the original band as it was decaying by the time my dad gifted it to me. Ref is 8620-0029 (B2)

Hi, first post here but long time lurker. As the title says, what’s a sentimental timepiece to you?

For me it’s an old Seiko quartz from the 80s given to me by my father. It was a gift from his parents to him after he graduated high school. He’s since upgraded to a Rolex submariner and passed the Seiko onto me.

It’s a thin, small watch with only a case size of about 34 mm. Definitely an adjustment to the large men’s watches of today, but it quickly grew on me and became one of my most worn pieces. I like to wear it on days where I’m nervous, such as the an important presentation or the start to something new. I feel it brings me luck, in addition to being an elegant piece.

If anyone is curious, I’d happily include an image of it or it’s reference number.

What about you? Which one is special to you?
