Great thread, thanks, Ivan!

I've been starting to put a small collection together, and will be posting photographs of my other watches (er, time pieces) here shortly.

Here's one of mine to start off: Citizen Skyhawk AT Eco-Drive "Blue Angels" edition in titanium with titanium bracelet. Recently had this "upgraded" by Citizen USA with a sapphire crystal. I wear this when I travel for work as it updates it's time automatically by syncing to the local atomic clock. Suprisingly legible for such a busy dial. Citizen admittedly has some of the busiest dials going, and that *is* a bit of an issue for me as I personally like very simple, legible dials. Regardless, it's still a highly functional watch, and it keeps perfect time, all the time.

The hour index markers are sharply cut and polished, as are the "aviation cockpit" subdials, so it catches the light nicely when wearing it.

Interestingly, I've had more people comment on this watch than any I've ever owned...





Stayed tuned for some photos of the "mystery watch" which is my first mechanical watch and has become my daily wearer.

I appreciate the passion that drives collectors of fine watches and some of them are really beautiful. But for me, a Timex Indiglo with day and date. No kidding.

My "plain vanilla" Citizen Skyhawk AT. A buddy at work has one of these and I really liked it.
