So... You need to wet the dial to read it? Haha

or you can read it through the frost..it may only be 40mm...but the dial is huge and because of it it wears bigger

Granted myself Citizenship for the first time, my first local watch. At $80, looks bitchin on an old-fashioned alligator strap. The stamp on the back says it was issued in 1968 to the old Japanese National Railway, Tokyo division, though who knows鈥攖hese Citizen Homer railroad watches might be the equivalent of the Zippo lighters sold as genuine Vietnam War relics all over Asia. But very handsome in an all-business, just-the-facts way. Numbers and hands jump out with impressive legibility, while the branding verbiage retires modestly to the background. I really like it.

This hunk of 70s goodness, is an Omega Constellation F300hz, reference 198.002 - Freshly landed all the way from 1973, via a lovely chap called Michael in Germany. In the days of Disco, this was an expensive piece of Horology (拢98.50) - more pricey than a Moonwatch (拢92.50). Now you can pick one of these up for considerably less than a DNN Speedmaster bezel. How times and trends change!

I too picked up the Casio DW5600NASA. I'm not sure any G-Shocks have actually flown in space, although 7 models are officially NASA-qualified for space flight.

This seamaster 166.010 was much nicer than I'd expected! Bought from a good watch friend for a killer price and it's serviced too 馃檮. I will definitely enjoy it for some time now that I've got the bracelet sized.

Next step: buy a nice navy strap
