Hi Holly,
You have some beautiful watches in your collection!
I also have the Pulsar and the Orient as well as the Quartzmatic (LCD) the last of which came to me in a roundabout way, I didn't realise it was collectable, is it desireable because it is an early LCD? Unfortunately mine has just stopped working but I don't think those with the right knowledge would have to much problem in bringing it back to life.
I especially like the Novus with the Hexagonal crystal, that one is a real good looker!

I agree, you have some fine watches there Holly35. And I see a few familiar faces... the Inex LED look just like one of my Phasars, except for the band. It's a hughes module watch? Your Seiko 1980 LCD - have one too but not with the gold tone. And of course the Pulsar 3502.
Thanks for sharing!

Very nice collection!! 8-) I think it was/is a good idea to stick the one's without an original box into something generic - protection and display stand in one shot whilst you keep an eye out for the proper package. :-)

:idea: A suggestion for storage in plstic boxes - put a plastic crystal protector or piece of plastic cling wrap(like you put over food) over the crystal, and then your watch still displays nicely but won't scratch the inside of the box when shifted about. I started using crystal protectors and now can't live without. :shock:

Sorry Holly35, I was being vague in my response. I was referring to the gold-tone bezel, or 'plate' surrounding the display. The one I have has is also SS but the 'plate' is gray. I just love the buttons on the front - easy to access and looks cool too.
