At Nottingham's artisanal mescal bar, 400 Rabbits. Seems like a good spot for a dive chrono.
Have they still got the bar football and the video games upstairs? Lol

SEIKO 6309

I have a Seiko 6309 (not in a Diver tho, in a 'dressy' sports watch instead) from 1981. Has never seen a watchsmith's workbench, no maintenance, zero, nada, nil. Still keeps time within 10s/d after 41 years! Absolutely indestructible movement!

They are awesome ... The 6309 diver the first photo in my post is borrowed from a military watch forum site, says it all ... the cheap japanese watch that can do everything a Rolex Sub can do @ that time, i believe the 6309 with the yellow wrist compass is the actual 6309 worn by he green beret who posted that comment

I've never been in combat, but if I were in a situation where I had to, my $600 Seiko Sumo would probably be the watch I'd take with me. That thing just seems unbreakable... I'm not surprised Seiko divers were popular with SOF back in the day!

Several rescue missions today as the brothers keep getting out I’m putting in a new shower door forcing me to leave the front door propped which they use to escape. I am seeing interesting things in the sky as I go to and fro
