I was curious as to what people considered the ultimate category of a military watch to be?
Personally, I prefer military dive watches…

I purchased this watch from the ‘Sales Corner’ back in 2007. Since then, it has been my “do sketchy stuff” watch. It has done exactly what it was designed to do for the 18 years I’ve had it (and it’s 21 years in existence).

tl;dr review: It’s been a great watch. It’s taken a beating, and keeps on swinging. She’s big, she’s…

Dear Community,
Continue readingI have recently put in an order for a custom Laco Stuttgart Pro in 37mm (with the 18mm strap). I am extremely excited as it is a special watch for a special occasion. With that said, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with upgrading the standard buckle clasp with a deployant? Or upgraded to different cool straps in general.
Please feel free to share photos of you Fliegers I’d love to see them!
I will share a photo of my spec once I receive the piece.
Need help to identify military watch/band
It’s a little blurry since I had to blow it up but this is the watch my father was wearing when he was in the Dutch Indonesian war. Trying to identify it guessing it is some sort of watch cover? I notice the round what seems like a button?

Two CWC Watches Arrived The Other Day
So having seen a CWC G10 in person, I decided to get one for my self. I liked the idea of a nice quartz daily wear/not afraid of bumps watch. I did not want to get out from overseas because of all the "who knows what is going to happen right now&q…

Hello CWC fans,
Continue readingI’ve previously owned the matte finish CWC Divers watch and thought it was a really nice watch. The matte finish reminded me of a Sinn, while the dial and hands had that old school Omega look. That the seconds hand of my quartz model hit the markers spot-on was a nice surprise. All good stuff. The only thing I’d have changed would be to add a sapphire crystal.
I looked at the automatic models, but didn’t purchase one because I didn’t care for the polished inner…

I’m quite curious because there are bunch of WWI and WWII era watches that were used by soldiers and because they survived, it made me wonder if anyone from the military brought their military issued watches home and continued to wear them even after t…

Hello, pilot’s and mil timepieces board. First time posting here, as I’m primarily a vintage Accutron collector.
Continue readingI found this wonderful Elgin A-17A several years ago at an outdoor antique fair. I purchased it in a lot of 3 total pieces, with this being the main “target.”
While these pieces aren’t my forte I had more than a feeling this was something special and I thought it to be legit. I’ve done some research on it but felt it’s time to post here for some critique.
Having trouble…
