I've had this jacket since high school. I graduated high school in 1975. It's now relegated to lawn chores.

Presidents Day in the US but it's still a work day. Wearing a 3861 Hesalite Speedmaster.

Ordinary and inexpensive Seiko from the late 60s. I think the design is pleasing.

OK. I've wanted this watch ever since I first saw it...but vintage examples were out of my $ range. PLUS...I really wanted a Depthmaster that I could be confident of it's water-proof-ness. (Depthmaster...get it...?)
THEN Nivada came out with the reissue. My goal was set!
After thinking about this watch for what...3 years? I finally took the dive (so to speak).
I'll spare you the unboxing pics and get right to the good parts...

the BoR is gonna need some work.
So until then...

What's that? Cloudy day?? I think not.
There's sun right behind those clouds!!!

I've been thinking about this reissue as well. And sometimes wish I had snagged one years ago when they were more affordable.
Great looking watch, wear it in good health!

Well...if you DO decide to get one save yourself 85 bucks by ordering it with the Tropic strap. This dawned on me a bit too late but I paid and extra 200 for the BoR. But they'll ship it with a Tropic or Leather strap no extra charge and you can order the BoR separately (granted for another 200 bucks) but I'd have gotten the Tropic strap basically for free. See what I mean?

Just arrived> Erebus Origin from Jody of Just One More Watch YouTube fame. Bought the extra straps. Not sure if I am going to keep it, flip it or give it away. Super nice packaging and straps.
