Tracking is somewhat cryptic, seems indicate it has gotten through customs here in the States...but you know how tracking can be.
It is in Indiana, might be here Saturday or Monday. The alligator band doesn't work with that watch, will need to dig out something that's a better match. Just realized it'll partner up with my Westclox. (borrowed pic)
My new watch came in today. A Chinese knock off. It’s actually a pretty good watch. Time Will Tell. Sent from my iPhoneXR using Tapatalk
I bought this dive watch approx 27 yrs ago and it is one of the best watches that I own. I am a certified diver and have always bought dive watches because they are built to with stand a lot of abuse and are just better built than a average watch IMO and many others divers agree. I have a Orient dive watch I will have to show it later because I used it for work and that watch has taken a lot of abuse because the nature of my previous work as a millwright, welder & machinist. Excellent battery life in this watch also.
I finally got around to installing a new battery into my Orient Titanium, this watch is approx 29 years old and was my daily work watch. The weakest part of the watch are the pins that hold the watch bracelet to the watch. I always had to look very hard to find the band parts from where they let go. I also made some simple watch wrenches to remove the watch back for installing the battery and inspection out of some 316 SS 1/8 thickness that fit my favorite watches. At the pulp mill we had all kinds of different stainless steel and scrap pieces were no problem to find. One of the best watches that I have ever owned is the Orient and is light weight and built to last. This watch was put in harsh working environments that most watches would never hold up after 29 years of service. Some simple wrenches to remove the backs off watches.
3 weeks later from the U.K...Eaglemoss 1940s German Airman PRO: The smallish size and overall look acceptably mimics something from the era. Face is flat black; tannish hands and numbers are a good match for antique radium paint. CON: Lugs are about 15mm, probably correct for the time but too narrow for even my narrowest vintage straps. Wasn't expecting that. Even a thin 16mm bunches up, as you see. No actual lume anywhere on the face, just the illusion of lume. Simple, utilitarian look, just what I wanted. Cheaply made quartz but I've seen much cheaper. For under $20 shipped, I like it.
