Kramer, Excellent watches - mainly "divers"!

Have you tested the Marina Militare (it's an homage I believe) in terms of waterproofness?

Can it be used for swimming or snorkeling?

I bought a MM from manbushijie last month and was wondering if it can handle "water" more than a shower or washing your hands!

I am not sure about water resistance. I have splashed it lightly, but I have never submerged it. I took the caseback off to clean out some dust and the gasket makes a nice tight seal. But I didn't pull the crown so I have no idea how well the stem is sealed. I also am not sure how well sealed the front and back crystals are.

one thing you could do is open it up, pull the crown + movement. Set the movement aside and case it back up. Dunk it and see if moisture gets inside. I have done this on a couple of my Invictas.

Kramer:

Wow, what collection you have there!

Is that a CRKT Hammond Cruiser with one of your Invictas?

Yeah its a serviceable blade. I pack carry it, too big to EDC IMHO. Good ergonomics for a medium sized hand. Its a hollow grind with a chisel edge though, a lot of people don't like chisel grinds.

Is it an earlier version? The recent ones on ebay seem to have "V" grinds.

Staying ontopic, my new beater watch for dog walking and hiking:

Seeing how many expensive watches are put on display here. But then again it is Budget Light Forum so here goes.

My current Casio G-Shock. I never cared for the model number. Just the accurate time and many time zones and alarms + I need the stopwatch for my work.

I have had about 4 of these. Great watches for what they do and are. This one is 1 year old but you can see it is already beat up pretty bad. That is why I buy them. I live a hard life and so does the watches ;-)

Kramer, I love that Timex you have! Simple, reliable, and elegant. Which model is it?

You know its so CRAZY, when I post up pics of my collection on the 2-3 watch forms I participate its ALWAYS that Timex that everyone wants to know about. Its just so different looking, without being overboard or garish (as admittedly many of my watches can be.. LOL). Kind of a PAM cushion case... but not really. I wish I could tell you, but theres no model number anywhere on it. I bought it used from another forum, and my understanding is its a EU model only. Its 10ATM with a snap in caseback.

I have been meaning to put on a black 24mm leather NATO... just havent gotten around to it.

We have a Timex outlet near me that my gal and I will be visiting as soon as I have some spare $$. They have great prices and a great selection.

Not a great picture as it was taken in pitch black, but I do like this watch. It was a gift from my wife.

Those are actually kind of cool…. durability, accuracy, worry-free quartz + the flair of a mechanical balance wheel and automatic wind rotor to drive the seconds complication.

Some people like their wrist watches to be accurate:

thanks Kramer, sounds like you know a thing or two about watches…

Mmmm…. watches, another of my passions :heart_eyes:
Love Casio, actually. Best bung for the buck. There are much nicer watches out there, but for the price - Casio.
Right now I have this Edifice EF-318, very accurate, about 2 sec. per month (instead of, official, +/- 20 sec). My wrist is quite small, so not all watches are for me :frowning: And I really like those G-Shock models, but they are too bulky (on my wrist, of course). So, I use my, ol’ known model - DB 36 - as my digital watch. It has everything that I need, but it’s not so ergonomic :frowning: My other W-E11 model was much better in this aspect.

Wow, some nice pics have landed here! :slight_smile:

Yeah, I too have only that one watch and it is more on the budget side, as Ledsmoke said also.
But I was more interested on the budget side of watches when posting this up, naturally :wink: I have a dream of getting an Omega, like my dad but a) new Seamasters just look not so good when I compare them to old ones b) they cost megabucks, pretty sure I would have second thoughts after getting one…

Sent my fathers Seamaster for repair to UK.
Great service, great pics and affordable price! :slight_smile:

Lovely collection Kramer, I like the modded Seikos, being meaning to get a Yobokies mod for a while now.

Anyway here’s my EDC (crappy phone pic, gives a flavour tho’)

Yeah Seiko makes a great watch for the $$. Mine was modded by Michael Lively of WUS. Its a tribute to the original no radiation logo BP from the 50s…. but with Seiko monster hands. If you see a modded Seiko for a good price don’t hesitate, they generally go fast.

Just thought I’d BUMP this thread for the other watch guys with this Costco deal I saw a week or so ago…
