Just collected this...
1675 GMT Master from 1971. Wanted 1970 for my birth year, but figured this was close enough given it's condition and that it still has Rolex service guarantee until March 2015.
Was worried it might look too small, as I'm used to a larger watch (Bremont MBII) but think it looks OK now I've gotten used to it a bit.

Drat. I forgot about Dominic. The Speedmaster is available on the net at £600 off list price but, as I understand it, you won't get a warranty. I managed £400 off at a high street retailer, with a warranty. The negotiating stance I adopted was to keep going back and asking them if they'd reconsidered. Plus, it wasn't one they carried. They had the one with the bracelet but I wanted the one with the strap.
Issue 7 of the military watch mag there? Like that, very much like the Longines Legend Diver - which i'd love to own one day.
Do you have any more pics?
What is the lug width for straps? I might have something to tart it up a bit in the watch box already - would be a good work watch for £8.

42mm case. Lug width for a strap is 22mm.
Hopefully - eventually - my Squale 20 Atmos, back from Gnomon with a repaired crown and the domed sapphire from the 'Mint' model.
Also have an G-Shock ICERC GW-5600 coming for my wife (an impulse buy; I just got her a G-Lide 5600 in white to replace a demolished Baby G) and an original Orange Monster (SKX779) inbound for me. Love my Black Monster (every day wear, while the Squale is out of action) and figured I should get an OM while still readily available.

I recently sold a Citizen Skyhawk AT in Titanium.
It was a great watch, but sadly, I couldn't read the LCD displays without reading glasses (don't mock, unless you started with crap eyesight, it'll happen to you
), but I missed having a Titanium watch.
I rather fancy a Sinn 144 (and might get one sometime), but none were coming up used and they're not made in Titanium anymore (I believe).
Then I spotted this, a Citizen Orca diver's watch. It was on a rubber strap, but I've picked up a brand new titanium bracelet for it too, which is much nice than the rather nasty rubber strap (my 300M Citizen diver's watch has a much more supple strap) it came on.
I'm not 100% sure about it, but it's certainly nice and light and very distinctive.
We'll see if it's a keeper...
