OK hello, I have been visiting this site religiously for over a year now and have not posted much. However, since visiting this site I have learned a great deal which has influenced me in choosing watches. So below I give you the collection to date since visiting 3T...Hope everyone enjoys... Picked this up from forum member Max a few weeks ago, and finally arrived here in Seoul...it's a Seapro World Racer   This Accutron VX200 was actually the first watch I purchased after beginning to visit 3T, and is the designated dress watch...  Here is a comparison with the newly arrived Seapro...  Up next is the second purchase, that's right it's an Invictum...This was by far the worst watch I have ever bought. The clasp on the bracelet was uneven and sticking up a little on one side, and is 30 seconds fast per day. However the lume is ok, a little better than the Accutron. On this one I ended up brushing it with a scotch brite sponge, seemed to do a good enough job.  The next purchase was a cheap Russian I wsa able to find in a small watch shop here in Seoul, so couldn't resist. Some of the other members have this one as well. I was not a fan of the 20mm strap so I swapped it with this 22mm pilot. I believe it is a small 22mm so it fit in the 20mm lugs very nicely. Great lume too...   Here is the Christmas gift from the girlfriend, I love this thing. It's a Hamilton Khaki Aviation QNE. At 44mm it is the perfect size I think. It came with a beautiful dark brown pilot's style strap, but have since swapped it out with this one from Steinhart.   Next up is a little something I picked up last time I visited Shanghai. It is a Seagull M222S hand cranker. No lume i know, but loved the color on it. Plus the huge domed saphire crystal is nice. Also swapped the bracelet on this one. It came with a 20mm puny girly sized strap. However with a 44mm case, a 20mm strap didn't look right. So I jammed a 22mm in there and looks better I think.  here's the back  Which brings me to the Beast. This was a birthday gift to myself. it is a Deep Blue Master 2000 with blue dial, orange hands, and black bezel. This thing is an absolute monster.   ...and finally here is an Artego diver...Originally it arrived over here with an unattached second hand. After emailing the owner back and forth I ws advised to take it to a watch guy here in Seoul. So I did, and after getting it back the owner of Artego refunded me the repair cost plus some extra...stand up guy that one. here it is on a strap  and after much debating on the finish, bead blasted, I decided I needed something extra. So I attempted to brush it, with the sponge again. It actually came out ok, and gave it a little brighter look and shine. This was the first bead blasted watch I had, and have never seen one in person prior to getting this one. I think it was too much watch for a bead blasting, now i Know for the future...so here is a pic after I brushed it, don't know if you can see the difference...  here is a shot with the Artego, Seapro, and Accutron...  Anyway would just like to thank everyone on this forum for giving me the knowledge to make some great purchases, and to further increase my addiction here... Mario... |

Very nice collection and great pics, Mario. Nice to know that you can wear both that Deep Blue and Hamilton. Ive hesitated on both due to size. I have that same blue Accutron BTW. Dont hesitate to chime in. WIS input is always welcome. Last edited on Thu Jul 29th, 2010 08:13 am by max |

Hey thanks everyone... I know there is a slight difference in size between the Accutron and Seapro when compared to the others...but I have flat wide wrists, so I think the bigger ones look better on the wrists than the smaller ones. |

Nice pickups but I'm not digging the Aviator on the light strap. JMHO but it sure is throwing me. |

I have been switching the aviator with the brown strap shown before and this black one...I like the way both of them look. They are both 22mm rather than the original dinky 20mm that came with it. another  |
