Time for a TE Watch Thread

[whatsinaname]

This sub-forum seems a bit sparsely populated. The Everyday Show-off thread has been getting a lot of watch posts, here's a thread where we can share and discuss watches we already own.

Couple of suggestions that might make the thread a bit more interesting.
1) Separate posts per watch. Will help give the thread some momentum.
2) Own photograph instead of a stock photo would be more interesting.
3) Post any interesting and unique features of the watch.

To start off with, here's one of mine. Citizen Nighthawk. BJ7019-62E.

It is an Eco-Drive (Quartz powered with a solar power recharged battery). A 2nd crown controls a bidirectional rotating bezel that acts as a slide rule. A second smaller GMT hand allows for tracking a second time zone.

Thanks for starting this thread. I had requested the staff team to start this section. Hope it gets good responses and traffic.

That is a great looking watch. I have been looking at some Parnis watches myself. This one in particular. I don't have anything with a retrograde complication or a power reserve indicator.

This is a dangerous hobby, for your pockets that is. Got to stay away from this thread, and the headphone ones. Too dangerous

That last Orient looks really nice. The orange seconds hand on a white dial is a great touch. Is it an automatic or a manual wind?

It's automatic. Just search for planet Orient.
But the strap isn't that great. The glue at the lugs gave up and my attempt to glue it back was a failure. Removed the strap. This watch has got weird lug size. It's 22mm from outer edge and 14mm from inner edge. I won't find another band for this. Stuck with the watch without any band. Wish I got the one with metal bracelet

Would not a NATO fit on it...?

@dr.sankhadeep : Awesome collection. Just wow...!

Unfortunately, I don't think so. It will have to be a 14mm width strap to start with and very thin as well. And the 14mm strap will look disproportionate on that watch. Some people seem to have taken regular 22mm straps and put a notch in it themselves. Don't know how structurally sound it would be.

Edit: This is the kind of strap the watch needs.
