Still with the Hamilton for now. Thinking of a swap to the Breitling later. Hope everyone has a great day!   |

Always nice to have options but give that Khaki all the attention it needs. Knowing its predecessor was used for parts might be unsettling for the new kid on the block  * Me? I'm going with the PVD 6309 mod today....  *the fact I'm personifying an inanimate object tells me that I have a problem. |

Can't go wrong with either of those, Marcel. Love the PVD 6309, Russ, and the slight amount of wear on the lugs looks great too. Jeff, that's a great looking Hemel and excellent combo with the mesh. Got my Ocean7 wrist cuff diver on this morning still here.  |

#191757 Built in 2011, purchased in 2017, the last new in box example on the internet, about $150. I bought it because I had just found out about the 4R36A movement, as here. It sounded like a big improvement over the 7S26, since it not only had manual wind but was also a hacking movement. The timekeeping on this one isn't great, but the 4R36 in my Seiko Sports basically nails COSC standards.  |

The movement and dial are 100% on the other- after my watchmaker fixed the cracked jewel. The case has one broken screw an continually needs to be checked for loosening screws. Wonderful stealth look to the 6309. |

Still with the Hamilton for now. Thinking of a swap to the Breitling later. Hope everyone has a great day!  That would be a pretty good switch! That Breitling must be around 39mm, if the Khaki is 40. Wearing this little Seiko 5, my smallest watch. Let me tell you, it's pretty amazing for $80. Solid case, and a display back, so perfect for entry into WISdom. And the dial is se beautiful and detailed, with applied markers filled with lume. And the lume is Seiko quality, glowing very bright when charged, but even visible when I go into the dark from my indirectly lit room here. Just amazing for the money.  |

It makes it look even tougher! |
