Bulova Oceanographer reissue in green. I needed a new beater/toy.

Overall, I'm happy. Cheap, fun colorway, ISO rated for water.

Downside: the bracelet is meh and the placement of the lug holes makes it hard to swap out for anything else. I tried an uncle Seiko tropic and a nato but couldn't even get them on - the spring bars are too close to the case.

Togri v. 2.0

I am afraid that the lume is not that impressive, if one expects brightness. It is just bright enough to see exactly when the lighting conditions make it hard to see the hands but not bright enough to give your pos away to the enemy 😁😎

Here it is. I really like this lume and this watch in general

For some reason, I thought it'd be brighter. Oh well, still a fun watch. Enjoy!

A new addition today.
I'm very happy with this new "daily diver". A home grown creation right here in WNY.
A brand that I first noticed at my watchmakers shop last year.
When I saw this new offering yesterday I pulled the trigger before it was sold out.
Pretty basic with a 24J Seiko movement and a robust leather strap.
Just picked it up 2hrs ago with red bandanna in place.

Just in from Pakistan. Very accurate and great condition. My first f300. It wears much thinner and lighter than my 214 Accutron.

Try taking a spring bar that is 1mm longer than the lug width and bend it slightly to a curve. That will usually allow for a NATO to be fitted.

Cool watch!

Similar to a Luminox just bright enough. These watches come into there own on a dark night later on when most lume on watches would have died out. Even better when I use mine as a fishing watch and leave at 3-4 in the morning, As the lume is working without a charge.

Good call - you can also find curved springbars on eBay and such. For this case I would go with the smaller 1.5mm diameter to get a tiny bit more room too

Bucherer is the best vintage value out there....just picked up this 50yr old Bucherer Chronometer today. $145. I'd say it was a good deal.....
