Mugged a seller for this minty Malaysian dial SKX. Going to do slight conservative modding with bezel, insert, chapter ring and bracelet. My picture after a cleaning

Picked up this limited edition GMT titanium Eco Drive Citizen diver. Fantastic watch! Nice dimensions. Light as a feather, 100% matte gun metal finish, deep stadium style inner chapter ring, great colors, great lume, BJ711 movement. Dial hue changes in the lighting. Nice bezel action. Cyclops under the flat, flush crystal Big holiday sale at Macy’s. It was 50% off less an additional 15% then I had $40 gift card. I have the GMT set to 24 hour time.

While I have been sorting the "collection" of those I wear and those I don't, with the idea of thinning. I find I'm still a sucker for a deal. Even with the cracked bezel I think I got a fair deal...hoping to find a bezel though...Had part numbers for them before but seemed to have lost might notes...the search is on... sellers pic.

I've got another vintage quartz coming in that I'm really stoked about. I'm pretty sure the 38-7030 is the first Seiko snowflake dial (seller's pic below). It always feels like a bit of a gamble paying for a watch that isn't guaranteed to work, but there's so much at auction that you can't find anywhere else.

Casio AQ-160.
EDIT: Yay!! Managed to snatch a nice vintage G-Shock model DW-510 from the beginning of the 90's with everything original. Supposedly rare piece what I managed to gather from a Japanese blog post.
I'm gonna post some pics from both of them once they arrive.
Has a module 540

7S26-0029 with Singapore dial. Purchased from the original owner who found it in a drawer and wanted "fast cash." I'll clean it up, new crystal and choose a strap from my inventory.

Those who have gotten them already seem to think that they are winners. Those who have both seem to think the Heimdallrs are better regulated than Seikos with the same movements. $159 is a good price, too.

Amazing the watch you can get with that money. Makes you wonder about some of these micro brands selling for 6/7 times as much for the same materials/movement.
I've always wanted to get my hands on a Seagull 1963 Chronograph and I see they have it Must resist!

That Tuna homage looks pretty solid. So tempting.

I picked up this AMW-320D-9EV for dirt cheap. You guys might remember Arnie famously wearing this in "Kindergarten Cop" and "Last Action Hero."
But, Denzel Washington also wore it in "Out of Time." Bet you also didn't know that the Incredible Hulk wore it too in real life! One of my favorite childhood TV shows.
I really like the champagne dial. Nice piece. Hoping a good clean and fresh battery will get her chugging again. Original strap is in very nice shape. What I think is cool is that every one I've seen say "Cased in China." But mine says "Cased in Malaysia."

I’ve been getting into those too. I just saw one on Joe Pesci’s wrist in home alone.
