Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

Victorinox Swiss army Alpnach, after 10 months of daily wear. It has one of the most durable coatings I’ve seen…

Wow that’s beautiful. Can you tell me how much it weights?
Can’t find it on their site

I see your point, sorry about that...

Just want to let you know, you can have this watch at amazon for $101.38:

But, if you want the black Mako, you can have it now for only $81.10 ($101.38 minus 20%)

Thanks mate

Thanks for the links.

Unfortunatly they dont ship to Aus, I prefer the CEM65002D (FEM/SEM) with the steel band, it makes the watch look a bit more classy than a rubber strap with dolphins on it. Although I did look at them because they are cheaper but then buying a Orient replacement steel band is another $80+.

The blue Ray I considered too but I really like the numerals on the Mako, if I could have any watches I wanted though I’d have a few Orient watches including the Ray.

anyone know something like this?

i like it…!

I figured I'd wake up this sleeping thread :) I ordered this second generation SRP307 Seiko Monster from Amazon. I should have it tomorrow. It's got the new improved 24 jewel 4R36 movement that you can wind manually as well as being automatic. Also, the second hand stops when you pull out the crown to set the time unlike most automatics. This is the first watch I've purchased in over a year. I'm pretty excited :)

That’s really nice atbglenn - I love the monsters - I have a first gen orange monster but do like the 2nd gen - creationwatches have a nice range at decent prices.

Thanks :) I've been wanting one of these but my watch collection was getting too big (at least for me). I ended up selling my Movado Valor because I wasn't wearing it. It was too expensive to just sit around not being worn. Plus battery replacement is about $100 from the authorized service center, and it was near replacement time. So with the $500 I got for it, I spent $219 for the new Seiko to replace it. This is the kind of watch I'l be EDCing from now on.

Great choice. Monsters are iconic, bulletproof watches. Wear it in good health, as they say.

I wrote above post almost three years ago, my first post on BLF was about a watch :-)

That watch I've been wearing for three years now every day. The battery is still good (Ronda movement), the Saphire lens is scratch-free, and the black PVD coating of the chest is still very neat (I still wish that SS flashlights come PVD coated). The GWS brand never really took off, but I still love this watch!

Thanks! BTW, it came today. The one I got was made in Japan, AWESOME!! I had to remove 2 links from the band which was harder than any of my other watches with stainless steel bands. It's a pin and collar setup which is a bit of a pain in the ass. I had to use an magnifying glass to get the job done, but it came out perfect.

UPDATE: It's exactly 24 hours since I set the time to http://time.gov/HTML5/ Atomic Clock. Happy to say it only lost 3 seconds which is excellent for an automatic watch. Compare that with plus and minus 15 to 30 seconds I get with my other Seiko's.

Balls of steel are required when resizing the monster. As well as a light colored towel or sheet for when you inevitably drop one of the microscopic collars……

This is what I’ve been wearing lately, a really nice Citizen EcoDrive which I got for a song…

Nice watch :) I forgot to mention that I used my Zeberalight H600W flood headlamp and a yellow microfiber cloth to do the job. The pin is no problem. It's the ultra tiny collars that can easily get lost. Luckily I had no problem. Having to right tools helped as well..

This is mine. A graduation gift ten years ago from my wife .

Sesgum,

That’s a very elegant and understated watch.

That is a kickass looking watch. Definitely my style for sure!

Just ordered this watch winder for $59.99 since I now have 4 automatic watches that I keep in rotation.

I received this for Christmas, and it was DOA. :frowning: Casio took care of it, and I got it back form them two days ago, and just love it! :slight_smile: My sons bought it for me. I’ll try to get my own pic of it in the future when I break out the camera.
