    Had been hunting for a Tg 195 but fell for the sister.

    RAF issued but I believe the base movement and case are shared with the Tg 195.

    Some good reading and movement photos of this reference here: http://ninanet.net/watches/others14/Mediums/mlemania15.html

    I'm really enjoying having a single pusher and I love the asymmetric case. Has brightened my day. Will be time for some more reading and to open the case and inspect the movement in person soon.

    Bought a pair of pens that were made from teak wood that was on a few different Navy ships. One is wood decking from the USS Iowa, the other is wood decking from the USS Des Moines and interior wood from the USS Forrestal.

    Go Navy!

    I am seriously impressed that you can afford Louis Vuitton case back protectors.

    I'm an Iowan (Live in KC now), SO I can really appreciate those purchases. Would love to go see the USS Iowa since a bunch of buddies did for the Rose Bowl.

    This will be the 4th Omega I have owned. I have sold the previous three, not for lack of love, but because if they are flipped at a small profit, it's like getting paid to wear a nice watch.

    I first had the Speedy reduced, then the PO, then the previous Seamaster Chrono (12, 9, 6)... Now this guy, and I am pretty excited for it to arrive in the mail.
