I am back to the Sturmanskie Okeah tonight. Still doing the every-other-day The watch is about 25 seconds ahead of correct time. I have not touched the time set since I took the lume shots the first weekend of this month. I think I was a little behind correct time then. I am sure it has only gained 15 seconds this week. Winding every other day when I put it on.

Circa 1980 Hamilton handwind MIL-W-46374B; 34mm diameter with 16mm lugs. This one is powered by 7j Durowe INT 7420-4. Wore it for quite a few years in the military, alternating between it and a 17j hacking Hamilton. Took this one in to have its movement refurbished as it was running a bit erratically. The watchmaker replaced the crystal even though I told him to leave the original in it. Came back looking new. Tritium lume is long gone. Very cool watch, John. The new one you got does a great job of replicating the look. Acrylic crystal? I got a new strap for the Alpinist. Soft and comfortable perforated leather, in a length that's perfect for me. I no longer care about the bracelet. This watch looks fantastic on a black strap. Alpinist . . . looks great. Not certain which one you're asking about regarding the acrylic crystal. The 1980, of course, has an acrylic crystal as required by Mil-Spec. The new one has a modestly domed sapphire. No attempt was made to give it the typical profile of an acrylic - unlike the recent 62MAS homage acquisition.

Very nice military model, John, I forgot about the forums yesterday, but I was wearing the towering (18 mm!!) Aragon. I'm still wondering what Wing it thinking with the the height and widths of his watches, he might think that's the way to IMPRESS but it only looks stupid from the side...
From the top it is definitely a nice watch.
