Want to buy one (or several) of my watches?

I realize I’m not wearing most of my watches, so I will have a go at selling most of them. I’ll definately keep those 3 that belonged to my grandfather (omega seamaster, omega pocketwatch and eweco blue sport), but other than that I would sell any of the others. Unfortunately most of them aren’t collectors items, unless you’re collecting a mix of japanese digitals, swiss mechanical and chinese automatics, such as me

Have a look at my page called watches, and if you’re intrested, just send me an e-mail, the price is negotiable

New watch too!

Today the latest addition to my little watch-collection arrived. It’s a Casio Waveceptor, which means it automatically gets the time from a atomic radio-clock in germany, so you never have to bother with setting it or adjusting the daylight savings time etc…

It’s not a very fancy or classy watch, but it was almost given to me for free, so I’m not complaining I’ll have to have the watchmaker in town help me with shortening the bracelet a little, which should be a 5 minute job, then it’s ready to go

Watches, watches and more watches…

I feel like an alcoholic. I know I shouldn’t do it, but I can’t help it. I traded an old watch for another not-so-old watch… The one I got was a Glycine Bienne 1914, which is a nice dress-watch, i.e. very clean design, quite thin, nice together with a nice shirt and business-clothes…

The problem is just; I’ve come to the point where I would like to have just one watch. One watch which would work in all situations, be very durable, and something I find interesting. There’s only one problem; such a watch isn’t cheap. Sure, I could use my 100 crown plastic Casio, it’s very affordable, tells the time, and if it should break in a year, I can just get another one. The problem with that is that it doesn’t live up to the “interesting”-part for me. What I find interesting is for instance an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, or a Rolex Submariner 14060. Both are in the “stupidly expensive”-range when they’re new, and in the “too expensive”-range when they’re used. I’m putting my hopes now in that someone has the opposite desire to mine, i.e. “I have just this rolex, and I’d like a few different types of watches for different moods, maybe I could trade 4-5 watches for the one I have?” Maybe it’s just wishful thinking from my side??
