Very nice choice, Captain Alpinist for me today Haven't seen you sport that one before...looks great on that perlon strap! I have worn it on leather, but I do flip flop back and forth.

I like the dial/hand setup on that. Very clear arabics and nice wide hands. How's the lume on that?

Awesome yellow NY diver! My new Seiko 5 arrived. Even nicer than expected. And it has Seiko lume, even on their lowest level watch! it's on the original bracelet today, but I expect the next few days will be a strap fashion show. Since the lugs are 20mm, I have tons of straps to fit it. Everyone picks on the Seiko 5 bracelets, but for the price and the quality of the watch head, they aren't that bad. Maybe part of it is that I have very little arm hair left at this time. Seiko 5 model SNKE57 7S26C movement 38mm all stainless steel case Hardlex crystal 30m water resistant Heatwave here, coming days even hotter! In a few moments I still want to go to the Gym, body needs it! Samurai is retired for a moment and something still steel but smaller and lighter on the wrist.
Sorry, old pic... but a good one!

I like my black dial, but that green dial will always be the classic. Very nice choice, Captain Alpinist for me today

You must not anger the Hemel! Good ones so far! Had to go with the grey Hemel today. It was starting to get angry at me for not wearing it.

Looks terrific- a sea of white that is appealing to the eye!

Good looking vitamin tablet, Russ. Custom hands and bezel? Nice choice there Johan. It's quite the opposite here in Cowtown with lots of rain and a high of only 20C. Need some vitamin c to get through the day...

Thanks, Marcel! Wait till you see it on some straps. Looks terrific- a sea of white that is appealing to the eye!

That's a pretty wild watch. John. Totally unique hands. And showing your penchant for patterned dials. Nice one Johan - Bright Yellow! Choisi Primato (ETA 6498-1)Bought just as Ocean 7 took them over and helped liquidate some of their existing stock when they were in serious financial trouble in 2009. At the time, Choisi was noted for highly decorated movements and specialized in modifying ETA 6497 and 6498 to skeleton, decorate and add complications to them for various watch companies. It's changed ownership since then at least once, IIRC the latest in 2013. They're now owned by a Singapore dude who has his own designs built to spec in Switzerland, and markets them in Singapore, Maylasia, Indonesia, etc. Not a brand you'll see outside of Southeast Asia. Came with very nice leather strap - put this WJean Milanese on it. Gratuitous Lume Shot:

Looks really good on that strap, Chris! Sturmanskie Okeah is back into the rotation now that I have my lume shots done. And a gratuitous lume-shot that actually has lume.
