No. You do not need an arm or leg to collect watches. When we buy watches, we can plan or have reasons. I posted my bags, so, my watches losted.

My Collections

Historical, heritage, flagship, Oldies…

  • Monday: Tissot Visodate (heritage)
  • Tuesday: Orientstar Flagship (Flagship)
  • Wednesday: Seagull Military Watch (Second watch from Seagull, historical)
  • Thursday: Bulova Space Watch (space watch, historical)
  • Friday: Timex 80s (oldies)
  • High End Occasions: Longines Heritage (heritage)

Seiko Evolution

Automatic -> Hybrid -> high end quartz

  • Normal: Seiko Alpinist (automatic)
  • Swimming: Seiko Prospex Kinetic GMT (hybrid)
  • High End Occasions: Grand Seiko Quartz (high end quartz)

How I got to Watch Collections?

I searched internet and saw Movado MIT watches. I worked in SUTD last time, but I did not study in MIT, hence , I did not buy MIT watches $1000.

I bought 3 watches

  • Tissot Visodate
  • Seiko Alpinist
  • Seagull watch

Later, I upgraded the Seagull watch to Seagull Military Watch. Seagull Military watch is the second watch created by Seagull.

I received Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) undergraduate scholarship and they start in 2012. I worked in Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) while waiting for them to start in 2012.

Nevertheless, I did not study in SUTD. I studied in National University of Singapore (NUS) Master of Technology degree from 2012 to 2013.
