It’s a “Captain Willard out of Apocalypse Now” Seiko 6105-8110. Basically a cheap eBay copy with a dial and hands replacement. The whole thing’s been aged, and the insert’s had an extreme ghosting job. It saw some things in ‘Nam, man... (the price of a Phong case). Yeah, that shit will haunt you forever. I’m not convinced the ghost insert works tho. I’ve ordered a new one and I‘ll go at it a little more subtly next time... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Really nice work, the dial is perfection! But I agree with you on the insert. I recently ghosted a DRSD insert (had basically already destroyed it otherwise, so why not?) And it just does not bring anything to the party, if anything it detracts. I know people claim to love and pay for it in the gen market but it really just looks glaringly like damage. Excited to see this one with its new insert I also enjoyed reading about your GMT project at RWI, you articulate the ups and downs of tinkering quite relatably! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave47 6,484 Posted June 28, 2020 Hi, Mates! Last post for this week: a watch I've tried to sell twice but just couldn't bring myself to do so: AIR BLUE TOP GUN SWISS CHRONO TYPE 20B on beautiful leather strap. At times, it seems just too fancy for a plain dude like me; at times I love it; other times I don't. We'll see in the future. dave: ONE MORE: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simonix 8,661 Posted June 28, 2020 All the Pams I have bought. Some I have sold on, some are still incoming, but since getting this 286, it’s the one watch I keep coming back to wear, nearly every day. I wear others to start off with, take wristies with them, but most days I end up with this on the wrist. Shock horror! Have I found my “one” watch!? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
