    New pieces for my collection...24h in today!!

    Well, I finally arrived at home and now I have my new watches in front of me. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised at the cheap ones (especially the Goer, hefty watch, fantastic wrist presence, seems well made, I guess I will find out), and the Neo Monster is everything I expected and more. I am not very good at review type posts, so I will just post a few quick pictures. (sorry about the quality, cell phone camera).........Only 2 more left enroute. My 24 hr dial, and a K-34 Komandirskie.....Can't wait!!

    That is quite the haul. I don't think I'd ever where the Seiko 5 White Mini-Monster, but I really like the look of it.

    Goer's do look quite good, and they have hacking and hand-winding, which is cool. I bought one for a friend, and before I could get him a replacement band, it broke, causing the watch to fall and break (in multiple ways). So, make sure you replace the band and pins with decent ones...
    All that glitters isn't chrome.

    my watches: Christopher Ward - Orient - Enicar vintage watches - Wenger - Seiko 5 - Orient Star - DOXA (vintage)

    The Goer and the Winner handwind were intended to see what kind of mechanical watch I could get for next to nothing. I am very impressed with the Goer. Definitely worth the $7.50 shipped. I will see how the Winner performs, as I have intentions of it being my new work watch. It was also less than $8 shipped. These two are the cheapest mech. watches I have bought. They both seem half decent. Money well spent IMO. If I get a couple of months out of them, I will be happy.

    Second to last incoming arrived today! It is my first 24h dial watch. I purchased a relatively inexpensive one to see if I like the style. I can see myself getting used to it. It will most likely get a few looks. I'll see what happens after owning it for awhile. Here are a couple of pics.
