Lots of work outside today... G-Shock for now DOXA later.  G-Shock always a good one for it. Wore mine yesterday afternoon doing some overdue yard work. Seiko 5 6119C for me today. One of several ~1970's vintage pieces I have. Bracelet is aftermarket, but period for the watch, and fits its case profile perfectly. Got it from a fellow PMWF member a month or two after buying the watch on ePrey in Dec. 2005, just before Christmas. The 6119 was an evolution of the 6105 and is considered part of its larger family of movements which spans a number of calibers including the 6139. Difference between the "C" and prior variants of the movement is the day/date quickset which is actuated by pushing in the crown and implementation of bilingual day. The "A" and "B" cannot quickset the day, only the date. They require scrolling the time back and forth to advance the day, without engaging the date change mechanism which occurs before the day change. The "C" quickset advances the day and date if the crown is pushed in fully, and advances only the date if pushed in partially. There's tactile feedback when pushed in halfway with increased spring compression resistance to pushing it in further.  |

John, that Seiko is darned nice - the bracelet suits it perfectly and it looks like an original.

Good game plan there Marcel. Thought I'd start off with an Oris and take it from there....  |
