Old Citizen auto today.

I never really like pepsi type bezel inserts but quite like this one. May swap it for a standard b/w though. Has got a brill lume.

Is that basically a Seiko? Or just similar in appearance?

Similar in looks but not the same watch. This is called a Citizen Promaster or something. I had a Seiko 007 and it was a slightly better product tbh.

Seiko also has crown at the 4 o clock mark.

This was my first proper watch, I bought it 49 years ago as new unissued Air ministry stock.

It's been away for a service with Variomatic, and I'd forgotten how nice this one is.

Nice to see a watch that doesn't feature a novella on the dial...

Utilitarian aint it. In a good way.

Seiko 5 Fifty Five Fathoms mod, apparently with an incorrectly set date.

An homage, and five fathoms better.

How can it be a fake, as it makes no pretense to be anything else...?

It is, after modding, a bit MORE like the watch Seiko were obviously 'homaging', but it doesn't say "Blancpain" and it really isn't close enough to be considered even a BAD fake even by someone with no knowledge.

That's like saying Steinhart's Ocean Ones are fake Rolexes...

Got myself a new G Shock on Friday its a big mother (56mm) that does everything bar jerking me off. Its a great bit of kit and a superb sports watch, when you have set it up. Gives you the temp, altitude, air pressure, stop watch, Moon age Tides 5 alarms and quite a few other functions.

[tobinen]

I like that. Does it have a model name/ID?

[hilly10]

Sure does GWN-1000b -1ber Shop around as the rrp is £475 but you can get it for £220 great valu for a great watch. It's surprisingly comfortable for a big watch

Just arrived my 1999 NATO Issued Submariner-Date 16610.


Excuse the crappy picture..




It's my first (and probably my last) Rolex and I simply couldn't be happier.


Cheers Dom.
