Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

I know they say the T25 can last 25 years, the T100 is said to last 50. These are from the leader in the technology, mb-technologies in Switzerland… they have now been at it for 50 years supplying Military

If you like that one, this may also grab your attention.

It hits ever single dream feature….titanium, digital data and timing, rough service, sapphire glass. Sadly, it was only issued to the German military stationed in Afganistan. I missed the boat on grabbing a few on the resale market.

I like digital date and timing because the analog will never be as accurate and easy to read. On the other hand, nothing beats analog to “scan” the time.

As for the other one you like, it is a visual treat for me. It shouts form AND function by a engineer/designer who has aesthetic taste. Look at my BLF Sabre, same thing. It looks great but it does so by also trying to solve the heat issue. I have more flashlight designs that solve, or at least try to solve heat issues of 50,000 lumens. And looks like an alien artifact in form. But sadly….

Oh well….back to watches. If I sell a big ticket item, I’m going to buy that watch.

that is probably why it is so bright now - so you can still see it in 25 or 50 years

the 12.3 years is tritium’s half life.

the watch i had - was never very bright, even when new.

I was more lucky with my latest SKMEI 1456 “G-Shock Full Metal 5000”: :slight_smile:

looks great for the price, about $19

Trusty Tissot T-Touch Titanium

I do really like this nite Alpha but would have loved it in Titanium. I’ve suggested it, and they’re coming out with blue/orange T100 Tritium vials (GTLS) in a few months so maybe they’ll consider the Ti case. Might would have to upgrade…

nite HAWK 300T dial and bezel look quite ‘busy’ in comparison to the Alpha …

If I owned both … looking at aesthetics only … I’d return the HAWK

Alpha is sleek, all business yet elegant.

Today’s wrist gear … Seiko Solar Chrono Diver … :slight_smile:

The Seiko looks very good on that strap.

Just received an Isofrane style strap which I’ve stuck on my Orange Monster Mk 1 for the moment.

Not bad at all for about £2.20, SHIPPED.

Mind, it took forever and a day to get here.

Might get another in orange.

I’m planning on getting the black variant - currently about £10.50

My black one has arrived! :slight_smile:

Haha. Mine came a couple of days ago. I really like it.

Do you prefer it to your “RAT-SHOCK”? :slight_smile:

As it happens, today I have been wearing both (not at the same time….) - in the morning, the Rat-Shock, because I was doing some dusty and dirty work around the garden. I can treat it as rough as I like and simply not care.

Then this afternoon and evening, the 1456 - it is a nice, comfy watch and actually a lot smaller than I had expected it to be. I like the colourful backlight. My only ever so slight criticism is that I would have preferred the dial and bracelet to have been the same finish, but it is only a very slight negative.

Have you seen the aged Full Metal that is being released?

I could be tempted to mess about with my 1456…….

newly received last week Helm Khuraburi

R-R, that is just lush.

The aged look goes great with the square G-shock , they want 1000$ for it though, lol, the 500$ previous metal ones sold well, it seems they are trying to see how far they can push.

Only $500 more for the black acid washed finish?! :money_mouth_face: I`ll order two if it`s not limited to one per household! :wink:
