use & abuse
a quality watch should not be impressed when treated like this :bigsmile:

I am not able to play piano. 
Just ordered this:
Nice Seiko 5 flight watch !
Enjoy your new watch, these are quite popular in the forums! I really like the blue dial and the red tip of the second hand.
Hmm, I mean I ordered the black one… Did I link a wrong pic 
Not sure what to expect. These are pretty cheap yet highly praised for high price / quality.
But then, so are my Sea-Gulls.
Too bad my wife is on a trip and took the proper camera with her, so Cell phone quality it is!
Sea-Gull ST5 cross-dressed for fun with Seiko 5. Leather strap from mythaicraft, eBay.
816.362 is wearing a Hirsch Knight and 816.351 has Hirsch Duke.
To be honest, not so sure yet if I like them. I think I'm more of a bracelet guy.
They look good tho...
I got a deal locally from private person, Duke & Knight were both delivered for under 38$, which I think was reasonable.
Thanks for stopping by, Bribo!

I’ve tried leather straps again and again and always came back to bracelets and Nato straps.
..., I consider myself a flashaholic and not a watchaholic, but since I bought this watch last week, and no flashlight this time, here you go:
It is a GWS H3 Tritium G10 Pro Black Military Watch, bought on ebay. The strap is a 5ring Zulu-strap I bought separately, but i believe it suits it very nicely.

Welcome to the madness, djozz!
Thanks for the welcome and the 'djozz-art'. My girlfriend believes having more than one flashlight (the one you need when going to the toilets while camping) is pretty mad too, let go rebuilding them and dwell about it on the internet.
She still loves me though!

Welcome to blf djozz.
Nice collection of watches!
Today I’m using a Seiko “Pepsi” SKX175
Here is my EDC
Bad mobile phone pic just to show some glow
Yes, I have already changed that black original strap back to Seiko.
Wife also liked it and reserved the leather strap saying: " You cannot wear it at work anyway, so I can use it meanwhile...". Should have not told I have magnetic hazards at work :D
Anyway I think the size is not too big for regular ladies wrist either.
Mechanical is a no-no there...
I had my eye also on that Pepsi Seiko and that bigger military style Seiko, but I had in mind to buy something UNDER 40mm this time.
Edit: BTW Seiko is keeping magnificent time, which is a bit of a surprice for me. I've read anything between +20 and -20 from 7s26 but this seems to go steady +1 (!).
What the....? Could it be this is the watch that does NOT need regulating?
Too early still to celebrate, let's see again in a week or two when it has some miles behind it ;)
I like this one because it was made in my country, because Lip was emblematic of workers’ self-management when, in 70’s, workers tried to organized themselves to save their jobs, their experience, their history, to continue to produce good watches.
” LIP (company) “:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIP\_(company) on wikipedia.
l’Electronic: 1952 – the first models were worn by Charles de Gaulle and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Mine is not that old, it was “reissued” but I am very happy to have found this one and to take care of this piece of the “little history” of my country and of my fellows “blue collars”, even if it is not a rare and / or a very good watch.
