M.T.O watch project,

[John]

All LCD you mean.

Yeah and if you compare to a analogue watch which IMO are easier to read JMO,often you also need light if you cant see in poor light with Digi,no bad thing I like them but after owning three Casio G shock "Flight deck black boxes,we called them here" watches,gave them away to family   I find ano with good lume suites me better  



@Ryan 39.5mm mate 

yep or 40mm case to crown, 

 i have to say the markers on the Z2 are brighter but dont last as long, still all good lumes, 

Do we need to add batteries then Paul,for more power

the lume on the Z1 is pretty good and last for at least 6-8 hours depending on charge, i have to say the markers on the Z2 are brighter but dont last as long, still all good lumes, 

maybe mine came without extra batteries then :S

[Zed]

  no more time charging in the sun 

[ryan1835]

mine just doesn't seem to last very long at all maybe its just me

[John]

Ryan are you living in a dark environment  unlike Vampires the Z1 needs light   

[Zed]

  mine is bright at say 10pm when i go to bed and still pretty bright at around 3-4 well enough to see the time, yours should be the same ryan, lumes need UV to charge so if your not wearing it leave it somewhere bright, although there isnt much sun at the moment 

[ryan1835]

so they dont like being charged by light bulbs then? i think i know why mine doesn't last so well now

[John]

not really Ryan Incan's give off such small amounts of UV light to give the lume UV light then get it outdoors for awhile in the sun light  or get small ultra violet light to charge 

[ryan1835]

when i blast it with my fenix its a good lume but lasts about 20 secs lol

[John]

That's good then   as led light gives off almost nada UV mate  


[edit] remember though Frost bite is best treated with the first signs of whitening of the skin,natural hand warmth will help   

[ryan1835]

i think the Z3 should have a tritium dial 

[John]

i think the Z3 should have a tritium dial 

Z3!   let's begin with Z2 

[Zed]

i think the Z3 should have a tritium dial  

Z3!   let's begin with Z2  

   plus tritium hands and dial are very expensive sadly, but who knows what will happen in the future possibly a few one offs   i had some tritium hands on a 6309 i did 2 years ago they added a lot when i sold it, but not easy to pick up,

possible ZA3 based on the milsub,with aged dial and acrylic plexi crystal and sword hands,with a st-16 movement and sterile dial   

[InspectorWinter]

Oh that is a beauty! I would be up for one of those...

[Zed]

Oh that is a beauty! I would be up for one of those...

im hoping to be able to do these for around £60 , they cost a bit more due to the plexi and the dial and hands, i will have to age the dials as well , im thinking green or brown nato as have a contact in canada for a nice brown nato,  i might also do a merc hand version on a bond nato for the 007 fans 

[NutSAK]

Love the sword hands of the milsub...

[Zed]

Love the sword hands of the milsub...

i do like sword hands, real milsubs with sword hands hold very high premiums , i watched one go for around £70000 on ebay about a week ago, this would make a nice homage and a watch ive wanted to do for around 3 years,

[InspectorWinter]

Oh yeah a brown NATO would be great, and BTW I simply cannot believe the quality feel of the NATO that came with the Z1, it's amazingly comfortable and feels very well made, it's also twice as thick as the issue G10 NATO...

[ryan1835]

I completly agree oh BTW we now have matching watches

i getting the brown ones from Canada so ill see if there as good as the ones i get now, ive tried most natos and these are the best,they are better than issued natos as the goverment spec is cheaper, usually glued together with no stitching and plating on the buckles not SS, i guess a money issue, now i wonder why we pay so much Tax in this country  we should give our boys the best gear   

[WH867]

Is that fine lookin #6  with the black Nato on the way yet?

lol good one john, it happens and just adds character, i prefer plexi crystals generally but they scratch very easy but buff out just as easy, once its too scratched it can be sorted, but its life 

[ryan1835]

Ryan have you called auto glass?   

no their adverts are the of bane my life 

[ICanFixThat]

I thought these were mineral glass crystals, did Ryan opt for Plexi?

[John]

Ha ha... ya but now we have to wait for the slow boat to first get them in our hands... and now the race is on since I ordered another Sub style watch with GMT... which one will arrive first.    

I wore my Vic Ambassador on Sunday and Monday to get the lovely feeling of wearing a new watch (the old watch feeling is really good too).  I'm calling the Ambassador my Friday watch... since it has full DOW display, it's nice to be remined all day that it is FRIDAY! 

where is mr. or mrs. postal delivery person... 

[Zed]
