Collector Description
Got a little bit of everything. American, Soviet, Swiss and Japanese.
The Casio F-91W is the latest addition to my collection. I got it for a measly $8 on sale in Japan. Couldn't pass it up for that amount of money.
The Raketa Kopernik is my very first watch. I loved the hands and went on a deep dive trying to find one with as many original parts as possible within my limited budget.
The Raketa Schkolnie is my summer watch, it is basically all I wear when I'm out and about in the summer or on holiday. It's adds a nice splash of color and some playfulness to my collection. It was an absolute pain to acquire one in this good of a condition, because it's technically a kids watch. We all know how kids are...
My Oris Big Crown Pointer Date was a gift from my father. He found out that I had bought myself the Kopernik and told me that he still had an Oris watch, which had gotten too small for his wrists.
The final watch is my Bulova Accutron Spaceview. This is something I just really needed to have as an electrical engineer. It always draws interest from fellow engineers. While I would have liked one with a chapter ring, I ended up with this instead. At least it's the case I wanted.
