    Got a box o'junk from my Dad, several beaters included. This 1970s Timex auto is pick of the litter. Cleaned, lightly polished, put on khaki NATO. White faced field watches aren't my style but it's not bad. Runs like a top...John Cameron would be proud.

    Looks much better in person.

    Never seen that nameplate. What is that?

    If you can afford to.... I would say do it. It punches way above its weight. I can't say enough about Mako II

    It's 64f (~17C) outside and I have insomnia. Headed out for a walk by the river.

    Addiesdive, it's Chinese but with a Seiko movement. I think it's the same company as Steeldive. They have a pilot watch that is excellent but I'm waiting for it to go on sale.

    I decided to make the 2nd time on my Citizen Nighthawk useful, by setting it to New York time. That's the time zone of our company's head office, and part of the support team.

    I replaced the original green canvas strap on my Seiko5 with a dark brown leather one. It suits the watch far better.

    I think many people have this watch, or had it at some point. Nice one, and a good match with that strap!

    Timex winder, made in the P.I. Military issue? Doesn't hack so I'm not sure, but runs great.
