thats some next level tic tocking stuff right there :-)

With all this love for Mickey watches, I'll (re)post mine for y'all:

My Grandad's hand-me-down. He assures me that he won the tournament too! It's a Henry Sandoz, nothing special, except to me.

Awesome. Nice story too.

^^ Lovely...

Sharkdiver 45 or stingray 47?

Neither, ffs.

You want one of these;

The Kaventsmann Abyssos.

Case diameter, height and weight have become a little bit of an obsession recently, so its 50mm round, 26mm high, and weighs 290 grammes.

290 grammes.

The Air King you are looking for will weigh 45 grammes.

I'm not as grumpy as I read...

Paired down and sorted my current "daily" watch rotation:

1. 2013 Omega Speedmaster Professional
   
2. 1967 Omega Seamaster Two Tone, Gold Cap
   
3. 2012 Steinhart Ocean One Black (w/ ceramic bezel)
   
4. 2004 Seiko Arctura Kinetic Chronograph
   
5. 1967 Seiko Sportsmatic Diashock w/ 4 O'Clock Stem
   
6. 1974 Seiko Lord Matic Weekdater
   
7. 1965 Seiko Diashock w/ Date Window
   
8. 2012 Swatch Rebel Orange
   
9. 2011 Swatch Rebel Pink
   
10. 1968 Seiko Automatic
    
    

Need to get a better picture...

Neither, ffs.

I like the look of that. Will look into it more.

My last Air King 5700 weighed 72g on the original bracelet.

You leave me no choice but to neg rep you for that.... eurgh.

Here's another one for you sweet peas;

I knew someone would stop by and ruin my favourite thread eventually...
