Nice Longines Tank, I sold mine last week, it was way to much work + expenses to have it bring into a nice state again. I didn't even have the ultra fine screwdriver to open the back for a new battery.
Today the Aragon will hopefully arrive safe at the family in South Bend IN. There are some bracelets on it way from China to me, one of them is meant for the Aragon, another one I already got in, a fine mesh 24 mm is meant for the Bulova square case with ETA movement. In June they will be "married" hopefully.
Today I'm wearing the Steeldive "Puck"...

I wanted to like the watch, but the $60 price is too low .... I think they missed a bet by not including solar power, which would have made the watch more interesting. youtu.be/dCX9id58uCE?si=4bShEI9ONfkIbdrU |

But for what it is, it's pretty nice. |

Beautiful tank, Russ! I'm always hoping one of the microbrands makes something similar for less than $400. I've found several with Roman numerals, but I want Arabics. We'll see.
Seiko SKX009 for me today. Blue dial for Blue Monday. The original bracelet is the Seiko jubilee, with the hollow end links and folded center links, and now I have it on this super solid Strapcode jubilee. Keeping the original, of course.

That dial really gives it a twilight time look, and the star logo adds to it. |

Yeah, reckon it was time to let that mottled tank go given you landed a nice replacement, right? Cool puck there by the way! |

Lovely classic there Dan my boy. Finding a tank with Arabic's at that price point might be a challenge put something tells me Ali-Express might have something for ya. Something tells me you'll succeed either way  |

Lovely classic there Dan my boy. Finding a tank with Arabic's at that price point might be a challenge put something tells me Ali-Express might have something for ya. Something tells me you'll succeed either way I was thinking, and 21 years before I bought this was 1982. What was the Seiko standard diver at that time?
Well, I can't buy a watch until October. But this showed up in one of the Jomashop ads I get. i want a black dial. It has the new Miyota 8000 series movement that hacks. The open heart is not optimal, but it works pretty well with the style, and I like it. $218! But no watch buying! My friends and family will yell at me. I have them helping me with my addiction.
