Hi guys, Today some pictures of three watches I won in the RWG Raffle. Two Omega watches, the Omega Seamaster 007 Special Edition and the Omega De Ville Hour Vision. Also a very cool Tag Heuer Mikrotimer 1000 Tag Heuer Mikrotimer 1000: Omega Seamaster 007 Special Edition: And on a Paul Hewitt Nato strap Omega De Ville Hour Vision:

All is Lost - Robert Redford with blue Nato on SKX175 (SKX009) Finally got around to see this great movie from one of my all-time favourite actors Robert Redford (Three Days of the Condor/ Spygame/Sneakers/Havana/The last Castle and many others). Movie full of fast watch-action flashes: a Man, the Sea… and his watch. Thought it could be an IWC Aquatimer on a blue Nato – too expensive again, although it wasn´t… http://watchesinmovies.info/tag/seiko/ and one clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MiQOQ-Vyabg It´s a Seiko SKX175 divers, the US version of the same model SKX009. While the SKX173 has squared markers, the SKX175 has rounded markers and is identical to the SKX009 except for all of the country of manufacture labelling. To me the markers still look square. As I was going to order a day-date Steinhart alternative sometime from Creation Watches to EU anyway, just checked availability and got the last one (sold out now) on a jubilee bracelet for EUR 133,- shipped with DHL in 4 days – great price also! Really blown by the affordable price You can get a good-looking, true waterproof and lumibrite diver gen with fast shipping and in-house-built-movement. This should arrive by Thu. and than hang in customs for another 3-4 weeks, estimate a 30%-35% tax and fees, let´s see the outcome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yy-wpE7aIc These are the specs: Seiko Automatic Diver SKX009K2 SKX009K SKX009. Take this Seiko Diver as technology housed in a fortress to withstand the bumpy sides of recreation. It’s stylishly rugged and bears the Seiko hallmarks allover; from the Hardlex crystal to the LumiBrite paint - to say the least, it shows being sophisticated is not against being strong and resilient. You can check that once down to 660 feet under water, if you must.Features:Type: DiversMovement: AutomaticCalibre: 7S26Crystal: HardlexDial: Dark BlueBezel: Red and blue unidirectional bezelCase: Stainless steelCase diameter: 42mmCase thickness: 13mmWater resistance: 200metersBracelet width: 22mmBracelet/Strap: Stainless steel bracelet - See more at: http://www.creationwatches.com/products/seiko-divers-60/seiko-automatic-divers-200m-jubilee-bracelet-skx009k2-skx009-712.html#sthash.43F8FRoU.dpuf backdraws: no hand-winding, no hacking seconds, could gain/loose 20 secs a day As all this was amazingly un-complicated and fast until now just wanted to share.

Back to the UPO Pumpkin for the morning

Loved the film. Another great Caprio as Scorsese's muse. Gangs of New York, The aviator, the Departed, shutter island, and this - all excellent IMO. The watches are very well cast too...

Get an Athaya 702 crown and tube and it's perfect

I had the v2 Skyland. That was definitely a good rep. Is there a new version?

Several members have asked me about my avatar and connection with the infamous and notorious bank robber from the 1930's, John Dillinger. Back... way back in the 1700's one of my relatives had an affair with a German, while visiting Frankfurt, from Finland. They produced a child , who emigrated to the USA and he married, had two girls and a son whose wife later gave birth in Indiana to John Herbert Dillinger. I felt no reason at all to disclose this info, but you guys here bring out the secrets in me for some odd reason. Perhaps it is the semi anonymous nature of the internet, even though it is easy to verify. or simply that one feels comfortable and among friends here at RWG. A truly great place to hang your hat and lean your Tommy gun against the wall.

I thought the case is the same for v5 and v6. It might be thinner then the older ones because he shaves off the engraving.

I got out the real camera yesterday and snapped a couple photos of Mt McKinley from the deck. Couldn't quite figure out how to get a wristie in here... tough! It's a heck of a mountain. About 300 miles away.

You got that right! Here's the driveway one morning last week.
