Have you just tuned it up twice, no lubing or service yet??
Great thing, if it just goes on for ages…
Just got a “new” Sea-Gull ST5 for my wife.
This one is with date. Paid around 30$ for it and I´m pretty pleased with it. Strap was about 8$ extra.
Just received this!
Sea-Gull 816.351
Pretty much as “bang-for-buck” as it gets for this price, bought it used.

Had it about three years. I need something to tell 24 hour time, for work and I wanted to still see a regular clock face. Much more accurate and dependable than the timex watches I always used to buy. Bought it cheap on ebay.
I don’t take care of watches, so I needed one to take care of me, even if I wasn’t nice to it.
It is a heavy watch, but I don’t even notice any more.

Before you get a radio controlled watch, make sure it can reach the signal in the area you are living in.

Its been a hectic 2 weeks, were all moved and our new place has a pool. Went swimming with the kids today and got to test a new water-resistant camera bag. Just some cell phone pics for now.
A Tale of Two Photos.
The photo on the left is professionally done, and is copied from Amazon.com.
The photo on the right is not-so-professional. It was taken by an ancient 1.3 megapixels Canon PowerShot A10, in low-light with the flash on. (My family's much nicer digital camera was not available.)

I’ve been a watch enthusiast for years, but at the time I got sick with flashlight, I sold many of my watches. These are the remaining.

I regret I sold my Citizen Promaster, sometimes…

I’ve owned only a few watches so far, but my wish list for watches is even longer than my wish list for flashlights.
This one is a watch I stumbled over in several forums and when there was the chance (and the money) to get a piece in good condition, I bought it.
Looks beautiful on photographs, but really lost its magic quickly (for me), so I traded it (or sold it, dunno).
btw:
Great watches in this thread, very nice to see other members on BLF share the same hobbies !

Always been a big fan of Casio…this is my EDC that I like a lot. Love having solar.
I cannot be called a fan of flight watches but this is not bad.
Had to do even some further googling for this

That must make it tough to keep the crystal from scratching as well as making it damned near impossible to play the piano well. Might I suggest wearing it on your wrist? ;) :p :bigsmile:

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.
