Royal Navy Issue 1990. Given the condition of this watch, it's reasonable to assume that the issuee had something akin to a desk job.
The tritium paint looks perfect in the daylight but is dead as a doornail with respect to luminosity in the dark. This makes sense, as I estimate that only 16% of the original tritium remains in the paint plots.
Holy cow big hail storm the kind that comes down sideways and stings. The wind damn near ripped the storm door out of my hand. Other than that things seem fine edit:wanted to update the pic as I forgot I put an antibiotic cream on someone at work and when I took the gloves of I got some on the bezel, all cleaned up now.
Lovely day on the disc golf course. Started raining right as I teed off on hole 1. Played through hole 14 before it started raining sideways but still finished my round. Best part about “bad” weather is nobody else is out there.
One owner (me), bought in 1991, model 345.0808, calibre 863, first Speedmaster model with sapphire back. Worn only seldom in 32 years. I gave it its first conditioning on March 14, 2023, made a minor regulation and reset on the 16th. Since then, consistently one second per day fast. I’m pleased.
Working through the weekend trying to get my drone / uSAS certificate. I'm definitely getting some perspective on how very complicated it is to be a real pilot.
