What time is it? Watches and horology

Removed the stock bracelet and have ordered another black Nato (thanks Murtle). Not sure about the shark mesh and the Traser bracelet might not fit the lugs on this thing.

This dude on another forum made this from individual parts. It cost him around $700, which is a bargain considering it uses the ETA 7750 which was mentioned in the previous page.
Pretty fucking cool.

^ very nice!

On a separate note how are crowns normally secured onto their shaft? Is it just thread-lock? I ask because a NOS Lanco I recently purchased arrived today but when I went to adjust the time the bloody crown unscrewed! Obviously I just screwed it back on (but still can't adjust the time) and contacted the seller to say 'oi!'. But if they're normally just held in place with thread-lock I might as well do it myself?

was bored so I made a leather 5 ring Nato for my mWW® No.2

What is this watch?..very nice.sorry if I missed it somewhere

Anyone got any opinions on the Hamilton W10 military watch? Very tempted by a 1973 model, for £200? Looks in good nick, some aging to the luminous markings, but other than that very good.

it was a very damaged seiko 6105

and thanks

Grrr.... handed my Seiko LM over to a jewellers near me last Friday to get the glass replaced and went to collect this morning: "It's a odd shape of glass and will take another week"

It's a fucking circle!!

Last time I had a new battery in my Omega f300 it cost me over £30.
I've just bought a case opener, a couple of batteries and a case clamp for less than that.

Nice

I really like that one hippy, is it an auto?
I have always liked 70s & 80s diving watches.

Yay, my Speedsonic is working again!
Previous owner had put the wrong battery in.

yes it's an auto, they have changed all the hands, the bezel insert and probably the dial, rare as my arse!

And we all know how deadly your arse is.

the only thing thing rare about that, is it's originality.
do not bid!

they were only made for a few years, and had 21 jewels
103 quid already, it's only been on auction for 13 hrs
