Impressive collection. i see some pieces here that i dont like personally - like that terrible "lava" led watch that always clutters my ebay searches, but even from a distance i can see some highly desirable models in there. Really nice collection!!!!!! Do you actually have TWO nixie wrist watches by chance? And one with a caspar ghost on it???

[Kasper]

as you can see, i like all sorts of digital watches and watches in general. The strangest thing is that all customers who see my watchcabinet, it stands in my private workshop, always asks about 2 watches.. the Nixies and the lava led.
I bought mine the first time they were on the marked, i never knew they were going to sell in these quantities.
So who am i to tell people what they find interesting. I have a pulsar led calculator but everybody tells me...yes i know these in the back of the cabinet and always points at the casio calculators , never at the pulsar.

So most watches we love is because of there history, there build quality and looks etc.

I personally can get excited with a watch of 5$

I can also spot a Casio Flip-Top FTP-10 if i see it right... I tried to swap batteries on mines at the weekend, but for some reason on both the analog movement doesn't start ticking... I spotted a small inscrption "Push" on the movement, but when pushing that spot with a needle nothing seems to happen... is there some secret kick-starting procedure or did both my analog movements die without further notice at the same time? I still think maybe there is some trick...

[Kasper]

I take 2 small needles and hold one on the push spot and the other just against the metal plate and make contact with each other.

I guess i will try again this weekend.

Is that an NHJ VTV-201 i spot there? Out of nostalgic reasons (and the bargain factor) i got myself a VTV-101 again. Always wanted the VTV-201.
I also have some weird SP-WTV01 chinese TV Wristwatches i got cheap. Gotta hook up my TV Station Sender to a PC with AV-out when i got time and make some videos.

kasper, is that a Platinum Pimp i spy ? Or plain stainless ??

[Kasper]

i have 2 of them, but i was just thinking...were is the second one
It's no use to me at the moment cause they don't transmit a PAL signal anymore in our country. I had a small 433.33 Mhz video transmitter once but it broke and i couldn't use it cause nobody in the village could close there cars anymore when i fired it up and you cannot bring a signal in with a kabel on this one.

I must have a look that around that there are watches with build in DVB-T decoder..so i could see our national tv stations digital on air. Lets check some chinese websites

[fronzelneekburm]

Here in germany the terestrial broadcast is also shut down, so I also have to use the Transmitter. My Transmitter is NTSC, so with Seiko TV Watch, VTV-101 and the chinese one (Multi-Norm) no problem...

There are no DVB-T wrist TVs. Unfortunately. I guess in the time of youtube on every cell phone that idea died out... The closest you can get is that Samsung handheld TV or smartphones with DVB.
