ah - there it is. The pointer is visible but the actual hand has faded into the background. Trick of the light I guess - they're usually more visible than that.

 

Still on my list :D

New Benarus Moray Dart, bead blasted finish.

 

44mm case....hmmm.

24mm lugs.....ahhhh.

 

I love those numbers.

Miyota Automatic

500m WR.

The watch came with a bracelet (very nice), a rubber strap, and a leather "turtle" strap, plus a dive clasp for the bracelet, 2 sets of lug bars, 2 screw drivers and a nice roll to hold it all.

I also ordered a black bezel and convinced the dude to throw in an orange minute hand. I'll be having Speedy swap those for me.

The stealth is pretty cool.

Yep.. I got the last non PVD issue.

 

 

Keep a lookout for the used market for these:

New Today:

 

Tauchmeister 1000m automatic from ebay for $150 shipped via this dude: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/watchstore24de-USA__W0QQ_armrsZ1

 

DSC04378.jpg

 

Runs the Miyota 8215 automatic

46mm without crowns, though it doesnt' wear extremely large.

Decent lume

bezel turns very nice with buttery smooth clicks

Good quality rubber strap... super long, could fit an elephant. (I had to cut about 1.5 inches off of it)

Is it 1000m WR.. I dunno, but it is a very nice looking diver.

 

 

I'll do a bigger pictorial tonight of it.

Another new watch

 

This one is a $199 Vostok-Europe Gaz Limo in PVD/polished stainless 43mm case (w/o crowns). Has a GMT hand that is not adjustable, but the internal 24 hour scale bezel is adjustable (very nice, it has stops on ever hour, so it stays).

Movement is a 32 jewel Vostok automatic calibre 2426. Crystal in mineral and has decent AR.

Damn HD, nice watches but you need help brother!

 

 

What???

 

 

I can't hear you over all the bubble wrap that keeps popping around me.

PAMAGE 063 from PSOC purchase for $60.

 

I highly recommend this, even at $100. Fully functioning GMT movement that "feels" solid. Nice heavy case.

What's PSOC? And is that a hand wind? What movement?

PSOC is PartonSaintofChainsaws.

 

Auto movement. I believe he got his from Jackson Tse, Helenarou, or that Manbushie dude. Or not.

I love it though. Best $60 I spent.

Damn you all with your new watches!

 

Loving the Vostok HD, and I was eying up that first dive watch on ebay myself but they always finish too high.

 

I'm hoping the job interview I went for today comes off as that would mean I have some spare pennies... :D

Lum Tec M16 Automatic powered by a "vintage" Russian movement.

 

44mm/24mm size.

 

Good Lume :D (lume shot later)

 

I put it on my Benarus "turtle" strap and think it looks dashing.
