I thought I'd try something a little different and combine two of my collections into one post. I've been collecting watches and comics for around three years. Although I had watches before, I wasn't really collecting them, just hoarding them. You can probably tell from the first two pictures, that I have a favourite brand, and a favourite style. I have tried to combine a comic and watch from around the same year, although I don't really know exact dates of any of my watches so these could be way off. Also by no means am I in the same league as the majority of collectors of either comics or watches, I just have some favourites that I'd like to share. You lot could probably tell me more about my watches than I know, but I'll sum up each one, and why I like it. Let me know what you think.
Here’s the collection:

1960’s/70’s Vintage Tissot Automatic Seastar:

http://i.imgur.com/mdCJne4.jpg My latest purchase, that I feel I got at a very good price, I bought this watch as a daily beater really, hence why it's not in pristine condition. I like the expandable bracelet, as it is my first watch with one. The corresponding comic is Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1:12, (1967) Captain Marvel's first appearance.
1960’s/70’s Vintage 14k Gold Tissot Visodate Seastar Seven:

This was my first watch in a precious metal. I'd like to get a strap similar to my other, Seastar Seven, but perhaps a darker brown. I never let a strap stop me form making a purchase, as I have almost always swapped them before I begin wearing a new watch. Those with a keen eye may notice the date is way out. It’s an absolute bitch to change so I’m just gunna wait til the 21st to wear it again. The comic with this one is Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1:18 (1969), featuring the first appearance of the 1969 Guardians of the Galaxy team, when Yondu was a sweet af tribal hunter, although I do enjoy space pirate Yondu equally.
1972 Vintage Omega Geneve:

http://i.imgur.com/8cJESCf.jpg The first real 'luxury' watch that I bought myself, as a present for my 22nd Birthday. I loved the blue metallic dial, and my jeweller convinced me to go with a blue leather strap, which I am grateful for as I absolutely love it. The corresponding comic, is Marvel Feature Vol 1:1 (1971), the first appearance of The Defenders super team.
70’s Vintage Omega Automatic Deville:
http://i.imgur.com/sUnvnMp.jpg,
http://i.imgur.com/QxT3Els.jpg I bought this one at auction a couple of years ago. This isn’t in the greatest condition, and was bought as a beater, but I still like the TV shape face, and might attempt to restore it myself one day. Corresponding comic is Captain Britain Vol 1:1 (1976), the first appearance of the first real British superhero. I also have the free mask that was included with the comic originally.
70’s Vintage Tissot Seastar Seven:
http://i.imgur.com/Ysx2JLo.jpg,
http://i.imgur.com/alkEvus.jpg This was my first vintage purchase. (You’re probably noticing a lot of firsts in this, most of my watches were my first something or other) I like the green dial, although I’m not 100% sure if it’s original. This was the strap I mentioned earlier, it looks like tiger bread, which is delicious. The comic I have put with this one is Marvel Premier Vol 1:47 (1979), featuring Scott Lang’s first appearance as Ant-Man.
2011 Tissot Classic Dream:
http://i.imgur.com/269weDp.png,
http://i.imgur.com/72CLsgt.jpg My first real watch that I bought myself, this was before I found my love for mechanical watches, and although my first purchase out of these watches, it’s the newest one. Although I’m not a huge fan of Quartz movements, because the ticks remind me of school clocks, and make time go slower, I do still have a place in my heart for this one. I love the black dial, roman numerals. The comic with this one is also my most recent comic, in terms of publishing date. It is Marvel Zombies Vol 1:1, Spiderman variant cover. It is also my only comic in a graded box, (9.8, if anyone’s wondering) and signed by Arthur Suydam, the cover artist.
It seems fitting that the crown jewels of both my collections are from the same era.
My late 80’s early 90’s Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust:
http://i.imgur.com/p1A8TEg.jpg,
http://i.imgur.com/8UZ0zaZ.jpg I got this watch for my 18th birthday, it was my first luxury watch, and have been in love with it ever since. I’m not one for super flashy watches, so this is at the cusp of flashiness for me. I was going to change the bracelet out for something leather, but I felt that most of my watches are leather straps, so it’ll be on a jubilee for the foreseeable future. You can probably guess the comic that the Rolex is with, considering it’s been pretty popular for the last few months. New Mutants Vol 1:98, featuring the infamous Deadpool in his first comic book appearance.
Cheers for bearing with me, I could have probably formatted this in an easier to read way, but I don’t know how. I aint no English scholar neither, so my grammar, spelling, formatting etc. may have been off here and there.
P.S. Sorry for the pictures, I'm no expert in photography, and I can see some of them are pretty shameful after uploading them.
P.P.S. Also in case anyone is wondering; my watch/jewellery boxes are called called Stackers, made by LC Designs. You can buy loads of them, stack ‘em high and make some sweet watch tower.
P.P.P.S. Also, yes, those are Jackie Chan talismans, and the coin is an 1840 silver East India Company Rupee if one of you was wondering
