Which watch do you own?

A recent buy from Mumbai Departures Duty Free,

Month End Discount on List Price = 25%
Citibank Instant Cash Back =10%

Compared to Retail Price, almost 50% Discount

1. Seiko Kinetic (BFK) SKA369. 200M Diver Class.
2. Citizen Navihawk Titanium C650 Q02144 (Promaster, non-radio)

Got capacitors replaced for both. Lasted around 10 years each. Iconic watches. Seiko is my daily beater, cause Kinetics got to be worn a lot!

Is this a good watch? Have heard about this watch maker for the first time, worth it or pass on?

Paul Hewitt is a fashion brand. You can get a Seiko SNKP17K1 for a similar price, which is IMHO a better watch.

For the Citizen Ecodrive, was the problem that the watch wasn't holding charge? That's the issue I'm facing in my Ecodrive (8+ years old).

How much was the hit to the wallet?

Hamilton, Khaki Field Series ( Don't know exact model), the original battery lasted for nearly 3 years and on a year basis it was off by 2-3 seconds max.

Yes, the charge was not holding.

Low tier steal but here's a new Invicta 8928OB Pro Diver, used Seiko 4205 and a 7002 masquerading as a Marinemaster. All thanks to Ebay.

Apparently, the 4205 is older than I am

I have a 15yr old Fossil steel body and leather strap watch.

The watch is 99% stock, very well maintained, and I have the original glass and body. The clockwork mechanism is stock too, but has been thru a couple of repairs over the years.

The strap, taking the most wear and tear, is where I was forced, by Fossils inability to make wide 22/24mm straps , to buy a non stock strap.

I'm only glad other consumable watch parts like the battery and crown have standard sizes, and are easy to get.
