Looks like he’s doing the old “Is it time to chuck the NATO in the washing test”!
I wonder if the watches with less demand are selling under this system?
Just say I wanted to buy an Aerotimer on a quiet Tuesday afternoon.
Maybe sell 150 high-demand watches in the “mad-minute”...
It is possible to align the 24hr subdial yourself. Have a good at the document in the link below for how to do it....

Just stunning, a modern classic!
Thanks for the replies all. I think I’ll follow the consensus and get a separate PLB and keep it on me when on the boat. The Breitling is way too expensive and too big for my wrist anyway!
Is Breitling still the only manufacturer offering a PLB watch?
I’d have thought Seiko or Citizen would be offering something with the same functionality by now.
The Breitling Emergency 2 is way to...
This looks stunning Eddie and ticks a lot of boxes for me as I’ve been keen to get a mechanical chronograph for a while now and love the classic RAF asymmetric case. The Broadarrow and Smiths England...
Great watch that Smiths Military, everyday practicality, military cred and simple understated elegance. Minus the product placement guff, I could imagine it’s the sort of watch James Bond would wear.
I love my vintage GMT-Master as it's a great design and beautifully made. I wouldn't buy a new Rolex though as I personally don't like the diamond encrusted follies they produce because to me it...
Great photo Velorum, I love my 29A as well and it's now the watch I wear daily.
If I could change anything about it though I'd add a sapphire crystal, tritium lime and "Made in England" at the...
The only watch of mine that gets commented upon by the general public is my GMT-Master, and that's only by petrol station cashiers and used-car salesman. i guess because of the aspirational nature of...
Famous brand, simple & elegant design, rarity, a film connection, historic and a section of society with large amounts of disposable income. That's how I'd explain it.
Like most of us I also do plenty of watch spotting. I don't comment though unless it's an interesting vintage or military watch. I once spoke to a guy on the tube who was wearing his great-grandad's...
Apeks also do a nice diver with a Seiko movement, though at 41mm might be a shade too big:

Can't wait for their Cowboy Limited Edition!!
Just a thought, you could get a civvy Seiko Gen 2 or Pulsar Gen 1 if you like the military chrono look as well as a CWC Quartz RN Diver for the money. Best of both worlds?
My parents bought me a 2000 just like yours Mitch as a graduation present in '93, except mine is the automatic version with an ETA movement I wore it for years, nice watches. I think it's in the...
A classic, I love the matte dialled Rolexes, so much nicer than the shiny modern ones I think.
I have a cuff style strap for my FAA Omega, it's surprising how much it seems to bulk it up. I got the idea watching "The Dambusters" as many of the aircrew actors had these cuff straps on their...
My vintage watches are pretty reliable Rusty but I wouldn't wear them when cycling, fishing etc. as I just don't want them damaged. I guess that's when the homage wins out as I wouldn't mind if it...
I think Longines has nailed it with their 6B/159 homage. No date window and it's simple uncluttered dial and correct looking crown look great. The only problem is you could get the real McCoy for the...
I'd love it if Eddie did a HS/|\9 homage, white or black dialled.
Amazing watches, all the character of a vintage military watch but you take it anywhere without worry. It's my daily wearer for swimming, cycling etc.
This Dan Henry is quite a looker and within your budget: https://danhenrywatches.com/products/1963-pilot-chronograph
CWC seem to have gone from an offshoot of Silvermans to an independent watch company and moving up-market in their pricing. I like their watches, my G10 is still going strong after 10 years but I...
