No but I wish it was an original
I remember seeing one for sale 15 or so years ago for £1500. There was conjecture around their originality.
Oh if I had known then what I know now…
I did not even know it existed! I thought the original seikosha was too much of a niche watch to get an homage. Or is it a custom built?
I wish I picked up myself an original B-uhr when the prices were still "ok", but as far as I understand the seikosha are even rarer, so good luck with that!
This week, I are mostly been wearing...
Steak Pie version
This is a firm favourite of mine
I quite often wear one of the three RAF-issued Smiths "6B" watches (1940s WW2 "Mk X", 1950s GS De Luxe and 1960s 6B "W10")
All made in Cheltenham (the dials were printed at Burford at the other end of the Cotswolds; cases of the first two were made by Dennison in up in Birmingham)
Not too sure if this qualifies, but it arrived a few days ago and I'm liking it a lot more than expected.
A diver might have been a better option today.
I'm wearing this issued W10 from 1983 for a change today, simply because I like the lume!
F.T.F.A.
It must be because it says so on the dial
I have not worn this one for months, it’s a crime really
One of the rarest or the rarest GSAR for me today. I love this watch.
Blackened, silver cased Bulova USAAF A11.

I guess he might be open to discounts if contacted via MWR rather than his retail site. Who knows?
Anyway, when I got interested in military watches, 12 years or so ago, US A11, ORD, A17, MilSpec watches were readily available on EBay, $75 to $150 items if I remember correctly, easy to buy, flip, buy, flip, buy. Not easy with current availability and prices.
I think I would sell my silver A11 and hand deliver it on a velvet cushion for nearly £600!

Another GS sapphire here. Got it last week, very impressed so far with the understated quality of it. A nice addition to my CWC fleet.

Having had a look back through this thread I realised I have not worn a few watches for months / years
So out they will come over the next few days
