My only Quartz, late 90s issued Marathon Nav. Stupidly sold off a steel nav years ago... and stupidly kept this one instead lol!

 

Tritium doesn't glow much anymore

 

 

Nice! Been temped for a few years now to pick up one of his blancpains and also one of the 2 Benrus military watches

Why did I sell mine?? Great daily, sir!

I believe Clarks is working on a t-38 ...should be out now or in the very future.   Have you considered getting a standard acrylic crystal and sanding off the cyclops.?  its not very difficult...just takes a steady hand and patience ..

That's interesting news about Clarks.

I have actually had a crystal sanded years ago but the big caveat is that the crystal profile is nothing like the high domed T-38. The watch looks drastically different with the dope shape versus the flat sharp edge 116.

1520 running within chronometer-spec. And has for at least 2 decades on my wrist

 

 

Curious what developments have occurred since abandoning my hunt 20+ years ago for a domed non-cyclops crystal for my OEM 1675.

 

Has anyone replicated the T-38?

 

Still would like to try my watch with a dome!

 

 

 

 

DW rolex 62xx Daytona complete with Mystery Mov't, tropic strap, OEM crown and crystal.

 

 

I think that's the exact watch I used for the How Tough Is A Rep Submariner test!

hilarious!!!

That was a great testing trial! And the candidate was a tough test mule! But certainly no match for the real-world!*

I heard that those guys got kicked out of the bar the other day... And it appears to have happened for very good reasons

I really do get a kick out of wearing this... 20 years and still running great & keeping perfect time!

Thank you! I will try out some acrylic tubes that I'll pick up

 

Wearing my dad's issued Benrus milspec from Vietnam today. This thing has a ton of stories to tell. Luckily my old man told me a few before he passed

 

 

I'm looking for non-luminous material with colored patina to fill hands on a few Art Deco and military watch specimens.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!!

Keeping the 1960s alive and well in this day & age... Oh the colors, they just don't quit!

What a classic! But I'd still take your crusty old Navitimer over it.

It's a nifty watch for sure. Not a fan of the era though. It's superlumed, etc, with an acrylic crystal...

I agree 100% with you, the old 806 on the other hand, is perfect!

Cheers brother
