The only 'green' I had on, was the NATO-strap for my Luminox today:  __________________________ "We're after men - and I wish to God I was with them. The next time you make a mistake, I'm going to ride off and let you die." - Deke Thornton, - The Wild Bunch | |||

Stickman, I thought you bought a blue Voyager? Or did you pick up another? ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I liked the blue Voyager so much that I picked up a green one. The Voyager is in my opinion THE best watch Phoibos has made yet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

This is a nice post to read to start my day. Enjoy it! Sure hope you find those links but the most important one you can't see anyhow. | |||

Just chiming in with a note of appreciation for this thread. I love seeing and hearing about all these watches. It is also a quite educational thread. My own taste in watches does not run beyond a couple hundred dollars for a watch so I get a lot of vicarious pleasure here seeing some of these higher end time pieces. Thanks for that. | |||

The Voyager is hard to photograph. Pics do not do it justice. For this price point Phoibos is knocking it out of the park with their brush work, polishing, fit and finish. In a sea full of NH35A powered (seiko automatic) micro brands Phoibos is where you get a TON of bang for your buck. When this watch came out it caught a bit of flak for its bezel insert. I happen to like it quite a bit.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Phoibos does deliver a great watch for the money. Here is my classic Ocean Master from a few years back.  __________________________ "We're after men - and I wish to God I was with them.

Speaking of the Phoibos, it's a nice watch, but I think I'm over it. The last few times I put it on, I wore it for less than a half hour before swapping back to my Glycine. I think I like thin autos better. Might be totally over the Submariner look, honestly. Just doesn't thrill me. I know some of you guys love your Steinharts. Any opinions on the Nav B-Uhr 44 Automatik B-Muster? I think the date window and hands on the Long Island Watch models killed it for me, so I started looking at the five original manufacturers and honestly... for the price, I think the Steinhart is the better deal as far as specs for the price. It is a little more than I wanted to spend on a Flieger, but there doesn't seem to be quite the market saturation, err selection as there is with dive watches. Decent lume, although I think I'd prefer to see all the printed markers lumed instead of just every ten minutes. https://www.steinhartwatches.d...omatik-b-muster.html   ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

My son wanted to go to the antique store today, so I took him. He got a Lego character he wanted and I came home with these. Best I can tell, this is a Speidel Sportsman 17 jewel hand wind I'm trying to pin down the date on. For $12, I figured I could gamble on the seller's tag "works." It seems to. The hands and hour markers luminesce under blacklight, but once you take it away, that's all she wrote. Neat watch, and I already like it. Lots of wear and character.   This one was a no-brainer. 1978 Timex Marlin with a hand-wind 105 movement, again, best I can tell from looking around online. It still has a hang tag on it, and it looks like it's never been worn. Some minor handling marks, but that's about it. $35. Why not, indeed. Timex has been making reissues of some of their designs from the 70's lately, and they're far pricier than that.    ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I love that Timex, the numerals are very cool! Great pick-up Smudge. We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln | |||

I am really digging those Fliegers lately. Can’t decide between the Steinhart or the Laco. | |||
|
| Frangas non Flectes |
Yeah, it kind of comes down to one of the original brands with the Miyota movement or an homage with an ETA or Sellita. Pretty comparable, especially in the Laco basic Aachen 42 with the AR coating option added, coming in a bit cheaper than the Steinhart.
Thanks, Tooky! Yeah, I was pretty thrilled to find it and see that it actually works. This message has been edited.

O&W makes and has made some very solid watches. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

After years of hemming and hawing over dive watches, I bought one. Seiko srpd95. The heft of it is substantial compared to my other watches. Really neat to see the lumed markers! Depth from the crystal to face is interesting. The bezel is definitely cool. Silicone strap is comfortable, but that leads me to a question. What metal linked bands would you recommend? I'd like to try one, as some here have stated that quality bands aren't an issue with arm hair. No chinesium (which is what I'm thinking one gets for $20). _________________________________________ Dei. Familia. Patria. Victoria. Don't back up, don't back down. | |||
