Here's my daily driver, a 5 year old Timex Command Shock with 3D printed adapter for the NATO strap.

Its off topic , but just don't want to start a new thread for my simple query -
I have Casio G7900 (link1 and link2) , which got burned when I went to swim wearing this (6 months back, I got the battery changed in local watch store, he seems to have messed the re-fitting and the watch's water resistance is gone).
So, I need a replacement machine for this, can FM suggest where can I get spares online, or locally in Chennai ? Also does it makes sense changing the machine instead of getting a new watch financially ?

Custom designed luxury waterproof and shockproof wrist watch:
Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8 (the discontinued model)
I like this one even more than the Rolex. The black ceramic feel super premium and is scratch proof. It is super light and comfortable to wear. I also love Chronographs in general.

I used to have one too from my childhood but somehow it used to exist for one day only.. with best case as two days (if I don't shower)

Another rare gem for today. Raketa Telephone or Domino. Took me 8yrs to find this. The date indicator needs to be painted.
Another microbrand from India. I had posted similar one in blue previously.

I don't know about how much the Swatch brand hurt Omega but my problem with it is that it is too readily available. There is no thrill of the chase. Even collectors don't take the brand seriously for this reason.
I visited their flagship showroom a week after Watches and Wonders 2023 and they were already ready to sell to me the new models that were announced. I didn't even have a significant purchase history with them.
I still enjoy wearing this watch and it is less likely to get my hand chopped off in some of the European cities I frequent.
Another one of my titan watches

Timex, Got it for 150 rupiya on flipkart sale
Need some guidance from watch gurus here. My mother brought a few watches out from her storage box. I need help in appraising/finding antecedents of these watches to know, what to keep, what not, and what might fetch me some price if put on sale here/online.

I'm no watch guru but I would keep the HMT's (swap the old bracelets out for leather straps) and the vintage Rado DiaStar. Get them serviced from a watch repairer and they'll be back up and running.
Keep the Ricoh too. Collectors item. Hard to get. It's the Japanese company which makes cameras now.
