    Hi and welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your watches. I've noticed that there are quite a few of the vintage watches I like in your part of the world.

    Welcome along OP, I'm sure you'll appreciate the differences between TZ and WUS very soon. What's in your collection?

    Hi.. Not much at the moment.

    I had my phases, from 100 watches to 1 watch. Currently in transitional phase to very modest collection.

    I think in the end Orient Star will remain, with Gshock and Darwil Olymp.

    I have been around for 5+ years, had over 700 watches, time to slow down a bit.

    Hello I recognise the name from a few years ago, and think I remember it being attached to some very interesting / obscure watches? 😊

    I have same nick (and variations) on all watch forums. And I had some obscure watches in all ranges,including some rarely seen,mostly discontinued or vintage forgotten . I owned 4 Seiko BFS, 2 vintage Bullheads and Spork for a while, Artego 300m, first gen Dagaz Typhoon, discontinued Casio Illuminator MDV102 and siblings... Mostly affordable and some nice vintage IWC, Omega, Tudor etc...

    Welcome to the forum . Is there a particular reason why you have two Darwil watches?
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    I had 60 Darwils...in one moment. over 100 had passed thoruh my hands :) But then realised it had gone out of hand a bit...sold all of them. these are leftovers


    I like that brand and I am kind of collector but seriously have no more nerves to pile them up. It is really obscure brand and more or less known only in ex-Yugoslavia and Italy .

    Two remaining are very rare and Olymp 80 is actually nice vintage stainless steel ETA watch. . .

    Thanks - I enjoy seeing people collecting obscure brands that nobody else has heard of. I like the look of the Darwil logo, probably because it reminds me of the Wilhelmina crown.

    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Welcome. 700 watches in 5 years sounds a little crazy 😜
    It's just a matter of time...

    I think. Probably more. I have very very strict budget so I flipped my way to all the watches.

    Good to see you here, and also the interesting and varied collection. Can we persuade you to post a photograph of the Xen in a future Friday watch thread, I think that we are still missing an 'X' brand.

    We see an awful lot of a brand that has five letters ending in 'x', but not many that start with one.
