What watch you're wearing?

Caught the Kanji on the change over.
Happy New Year all.
Yeah that's right, I'm such a party animal that I'm taking photos of the day changing on my watch on NYE.

It depends on the wheel. Some have Kanji before English, others have English before Kanji. Mine is set up like the latter, so on its way to Wednesday it has to pass Tuesday in Kanji.
I’m not sure if all the new ones have Kanji (SRPE93K), this one has a date of June 2024 according to the serial number.

Very nice piece, and same back at you Sir!! Let us both hope....;-) It may not be a 'strategy', but it's nonetheless a requirement in life.

I have several in rotation but one favorite is the Venture GMT Master from the Venture Bros cartoon. It was my first mod and based on a Pepsi mod oyster bracelet. I had some logo decals made for the blue dial I was able to source. I used a MOPA laser to do the case back engraving.

This is amazing, great job!

I modded and regulated this today, waiting on some parts to do a Typhoon build.

The bracelets my daughter made me, and I being the dutiful father will wear them at least through the holidays. One has a slogan close to our heart...

Nice watch. Tell us about the colors on the second hand. One looks GITD..

And here I thought the bracelet message was 'You can dance'.

JLC 2953 today. I'm a sucker for some vintage gold.

Nice watch. Tell us about the coloars on the second hand. One looks GITD.

Its just got two dots there on the end. One is lumed (C3 I assume) and the other is red to draw the eye. It's a classic Seiko style and I've always liked the looks of that handset.

Day 13 since it arrived and has gained about 1/2 second in that period. Not bad for 1970's technology.

 

[F89]

Considering it’s almost 50 years old and probably never been serviced, I’d say it’s excellent.

Got this used off eBay one month ago. Time is still bang on to the second. 👍🏼

Today is the Crepas Batiscafo.
Crepas has a neat business model. They take inspiration from a historical, but maybe lesser known dive watch and update it to modern materials and tech. Their goal is a working diver w/ style befitting a collector. The model they come up with is all they make for a year, and they only make it for a year. The Batty has the Ronda R150 automatic movement inside, which I'm pretty happy with. Also 1200m rated for 12mm thick is pretty impressive.

This one is based on the Titus Calypsomatic (Ref 7840), a watch from the '60s I've long lusted after, but so far have fell short finding a well kept copy in a price range I would be comfortable wearing.

That Crepas Batiscafo has a great design. I love that the differentiation between the hands makes reading the time so quick and easy. And the lume color on the markers and hands is awesome. Great looking watch design!

This one has been sticking with me for a few days now.

I wish the Tudor Ranger looked that good.
