This is my Sieko Diver (SKX173) that I wear when I don't want to ding up the GMT Master... 12 years old and never serviced. It runs like a champ.

I like the military band. These watches are workhorses and everyone should have one.
Awesome auto Rich...

I won't be wearing the Seiko SKX007K2 that I showed a couple posts up, after all. Something wrong with it, it's off by several hours in a day...
The seller suspects that it might have been magnetised. So my options are to send it back, or try to get it de-magnetised locally. As the seller is in the USA, I would like to avoid that, if the cost of fixing it locally isn't too high. The seller promised to cover any expenses.
I had a Seiko Black Monster ordered with the 007, and it's keeping perfect time. Go figure.

This is what I get for visiting this thread... I just bought this (so I'll be wearing it next week.)

That is a beauty! Those blue hands against that white dial is just magnificent. Great purchase.
I've always loved that look, been jealous of the watch I bought my wife last year that had a very simular face (it was MOP though). I'll post pics when it comes in.

Excuse the poor-quality cell phone photo.

1877 Elgin Key Wind

I honestly don't know .. it came with the watch when I bought it. And actually, I posted in error. This is an 1877 Elgin key wind watch and runs great still. I had been wearing the 1891 model the last several days, so that's what I was thinking when I posted.
Bulova auto chrono on a NATO band today (the deployant does not fit my wrist)
I've always been a mechanical/auto watch guy - bought sold and traded my fair share over the years and finally settled on a small handful that I rotate - a Seiko SKX175 which is just a classic and rugged design, a SAK 9G-600 auto chrono which is a terrific daily wear watch, and a gold Hamilton tank that was a graduation present from my late father.
However, I picked up one of these looking for something in between the dive watch and the auto chrono and I have had difficulty taking it off. There is a lot of convenience in putting it on every day and knowing that it will be running and that it will be accurate - and I happen to like the way it looks despite the busy appearance (not to mention use most of the features). The solar/atomic feature is so great I've added two Casio GShock beaters with the same technology for weekend/gym wear.
This is a stock photo but it is a great watch, wears small despite the case size and it is very light and comfortable.
