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.)

And this is how I wear it right now.

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.
G-shock mudman
G-shock gravity defier
Traser super sport
Orient Mako Blue
Vostok-Europe Vostok
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.

I’ve tried leather straps again and again and always came back to bracelets and Nato straps.
