SNDA65

SNDA67

Im not arguing. Im stating what it is that I see, however if you are looking at a different model that I have found please share.

TheRiddick · 08-08-2010, 01:11 AM

My bad, and my apology. I got tripped by the last photo on prior page (SNAB alarm model).

Both 65 and 67 seem to be the same, not sure why different model numbers, maybe the case finish:

SNDA69 is also same model? Looking at specs for all 3, they seem to be same watch, although looks like 69 has been discontinued at this point. I see someone online selling the 67 for $120 in SS, that's a great buy IMO and one can easily find a great leather strap in the aftermarket: http://www.globalwatchband.com/

The 69 seems to be the same watch as the 65 but in green. I have a similar Japanese Seiko military watch in green that I will try and post a picture of and find the model number. A friend of mine purchased it for me in Japan a few years ago.

I have a day/date Seiko Monster auto in OK condition I'd trade for cigars if anyone is into it.

just arrived!

I like all this strap talk!!!

The watch i bought (pictured above) needs a new strap. Cant stand the drab green.

Its 23mm wide. I was thinking about buying something stainless that is 24mm wide and filing the ends down. I have heard of people doing that. Does anybody have experience filing down bracelet ends to fit odd lug widths?

Depends how the pins or screws are fabricated on the bracelet and whether end links are being used.

Have a bracelet looking good is really dependent on the end links or the case. Big gaps around the lugs makes the bracelet look like an afterthought.

Many smaller watch manufacturers in CH use a braclet factory and just machine the end links and/ the button on the clasp. The tooling to create each unique piece on a bracelet may not be worth it on a tight price point or limited manufacture.

I wouldn't really say I'm a collector, but I have several: a couple Swiss Army (which seem to be indestructible) and this Citizen Eco Drive Skyhawk A-T which is my everyday watch which I love.

FAKES!!!!!

Just messing around.

I don't remember if I posted this here or not, but I got an Orient Mako (pepsi) back in May

I've worn it almost every day since, it's a great watch, especially for $95

Orient does make some great watches for the money. I have 2 dress watches that I wear often.

My current favorite. Made by RGM Watch Co in Lancaster PA. Fashioned after the original Hamilton deck watch. 17 jewel manual wind. Just under 40mm dia and it keeps perfect time.

Very nice. RGM's are cool watches for the real horologist. Your model reminds me of some Chronoswiss. Is it a display back?

gettysburgfreak · 08-13-2010, 04:48 AM

was at the Shops at La Cantera in San Antonio showing my parents and sister around who are in town visiting me and pulled the trigger on a brown Tag Heuer Carrera in Torneau. Will try and post up pics when I get some down time in between work and entertaining the familia.

No display back, but RGM being who they are, it was an option. Also, it could have been purchased with a standard bezel.
