Picked up a used Seiko Black Bullet mod from ebay very cheap - new shoes and we're away! :D

Will probably touch up the teflon coating on the bezel with some paint when I can make my hand still enough!

Good find!   :salute:

I think it looks good with the wear, besides regular paint won't hold up anyway.

very nice mod chrissy  :drool:  its funny how ive done a few mods and had many watches but now only 4 and tend to wear this rotary daily,i wear it in the sea ,camping when i go out, ive about 5 different straps for it and i love it, plus oddly i prefer quartz these days as get fed up winding watches up,  the lume is amazing on this watch plus its got a nice large crown and nice bruched case,also a saphire crystal that ive never scratch no matter how hard ive bashed it,so hats off to this great not expensive watch  :salute:

Vic Officers Automatic.  Thinking of replacing it with a Vic Classic with NATO or a Vic Convoy for daily wear.  I have a desk job but I spend a lot of time going back and forth to the warehouse and I also work on the boss' car.  I want something a little darker to hide my dirt a little better.

Casio Protrek triple sensor for me.
Been pretty much on my wrist now for over 10 years  :o The odd scratch here and there but considering the abuse its seen its still in really good shape. I thought it was expensive at the time but money well spent  :tu:

New shoes for my Seiko just came from ebay.

I was searching for 22mm leather straps and found it :)

Thanks! It was a gift from my wife and the mods were her idea! She also added a couple of extra straps (nato and leather) 8)

I actually managed to have a day off today, which meant it was safe to wear a watch - and carry a toned down tool load out too

I got this Wenger from nelly1974 in a trade on Saturday.  It needed a battery, so I got that taken care of this morning and promptly put it on.  Not sure what model it is, but it's a very nice, simple watch that is going to be seeing a lot of use.  :tu:

The case on that watch resembles MTM's "Special Ops Watch".  Interesting...

A 44mm Marina Militare homage. The brown leather strap is supposed to be a Toshi strap. I like the strap more than the watch :P



I've always liked Panerai watches and now I really really really want a genuine one :drool:

Edit: a Leatherman MT may have been used in the production process of that strap: http://www.toshi-straps.co.uk/testimonials.html
