What time is it? Watches and horology

We all like it :-(

It's the profile that ruins it for me...

Looks like the 6 million dollar man would be wearing it.

And that along is worth the acquisition price.

What model is that? I like it.

2nd gen Seiko RAF helicopter pilot's watch... Quartz movement, rare-ish, £500-ish... Neil at Chronomaster has a few...

^ thanks. After a bit of searching I saw similar but they have the P on the face rather than the L (not that that matters so much). I can't seem to find any examples with the L. Any idea what the letter signifies?

I was hoping they'd be cheap :(

i like the desert camouflage nato strap.

Might be wrong but I think the difference between P & L is the luminous material that the face is painted with.

classic... simple but effective.

Unfortunately mine is a civvy, I have the original receipt from Ernest Jones in Exeter to prove it :0(

Yep. L is for Luminova, while P is for Promethium 147. Although it's the hands, and not the face :0)

quite like these modded, seiko snk809

*and the whole thing, will cost about 100 pounds. an auto too :)

^ pr0n... Where from, Murtz?

here is a side by side, i know which one i prefer

Où est?

Isn't it dead hard to mod somethign like that? I presume it requires some mechanical ability and a light touch. Neither of which I am party to.

the base watch is easy enough to find cheap on the bay, and a link to the parts, i posted yesterday :)

From Murts link to old Seikos

Bah, gif fail, have a printscreen

Beautiful!

I am known for using a hammer, and sucessfully built my watch up.

*opens up Murtz' custom watch emporium

^ not a bad idea, mate... Srsly...

Clean.

That's a very nice mod Murts, seriously, I think Teens has a good point!

Why don't you knock a few up?

I have the one on the left if you fancy doing it for me?

I would buy an Indestructible Murtz military style watch. For real. I don't feel comfortable cycling with either of my watches...

just made a few enquiring emails :)

Murtzwatches.

Swiss movement + generic military style case/glass/dial/hands + NATO strap = ￡￥$€

Do it!

I'd be up for a bit of that action as well...
