One of my rarest watches today, number 192 of 200 produced. I know my Eichi II is rarer and my Lange 1 blue dial might be (but I don’t think so). I really love it. I saw the blue version for sale a week to two ago on Chrono24 and couldn’t afford it, sad times.

After finding my dad's old Tissot week, today at my mum's house I discovered my old Casio from about 1982 when I was 15. Hopefully it'll just need a new battery. smile It's quite a funky old thing.
Never seen this model before and had most of the calculator watches from the 90s. Cool to see a classic. Speaking of classics, A168 today...

Back from service and looking like new! Very happy to have it back, I think you appreciate a watch more if you’ve been without it for a while...

Only off my wrist to change the date really, and worn continually for 15 years now. I still love it.

I'm not a diver fan given that I don't dive bit that is lovely.
I particularly like the large minute hand and the almost contemptuous inclusion of an hour hand. Minutes are everything to a diver.
Fabulous thing. Enjoy.
Thanks

It’s a marmite watch, very much a tool watch of its time but none the worse for that. Service parts which aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but it looks fresh and will no doubt keep going another 45 years

Worth also considering their cordura water resistant one in green... I think they do this in a sage which would look great too. Agree on sand to match the lume, be good to see it if you get one.

I ordered it and it arrived today which was a nice surprise.

Have to say the quality is excellent and like how it keeps the curve of the wrist so is very comfortable. The hole sizing is perfect too, I can have it snug or just slightly slack which is perfect for summer/winter climate. I like the milled Zuludiver buckle too but have swapped over to the vintage Hamilton and everything looks period correct.

Colour match with the lume is spot on too I think:

Between that and the Eichi cloud9

I take it that's your Lotus in the background - have you managed to keep it ticking over during the lockdown?

With a Lange 1 and an Eichi, I don't suppose he'd lower himself to a Lotus. :-)

Thank you! It is indeed, a bit cringe but also a bit less cringe than a full on steering wheel shot, right? Ahem.

I've just been using it in place of my everyday car tbh, being an Evora it's stupidly easy to use for every mundane task. Can't wait to go out on a proper drive again.

Great to see it on that sand canvas, it looks the business.

I've gone with a vegan Colareb for now. May try a few light leather options later, and I've ordered a cheap grey nato to try a single pass.

That looks great! Can you post a pic of the buckle end just wanted to see how that part looks?

Also have you looked up close on the Ham? The detailing and finishing quality is quite immense, something I didn't notice before now. It really points to why this watch is more expensive than the other Khaki Fields. The brushed bits are flawless and the way the case milling blends at every cut and corner.
