New tactical watch

[Ezio]

Nice watch mate i Got a mil issued to but dont feel it on my wrist so been looking for another but looks good

Yeah, weight is a problem with these. I like to feel it there. Careful with the Luminox watches; they're practically feather light too.

Hmm will see when it arrive but if it doesnt work out there is Always room in the watchbox

Nothing beats a G-shock for heavy handling.

I had a first gen Omega X-33, and it was a very good watch. Quartz, but analog hands, and a bunch of other functions, which were pretty easy to get to after a little practice. On the gen Omega forums, some said that the first gen had crown problems, which were fixed with the second gen and the first gens that were sent back to Omega for repair. I never had any problems with mine. Titanium case and bracelet made it super light. Just wasn't generating a lot of wrist time, so I sold it. I had several gen Omegas over the years, and they never were long term keepers.

I also had a 1st gen X-33 that I installed a 2nd gen crown on. Another one I wished I had kept.

Guys is light weight good or bad under G forces ( I would think good) or is it just the feel  ? My Luminox is like 55 grams one of the reasons it gets the most wrist time of all my watches.

I don't believe weight has anything to do with G forces. A quartz watch will perform better under those loads than a mechanical watch. For me, it's a matter of preference. I wore a Citizen Wingman for while then I had a rapid-D at altitude and it practically came apart. That's when I started wearing the MIL issued watch.

Shock capability of mechanical wrist watches > 5,000 g that are the highest g force a watch can withstand dont know about a Quartz a F16 can make 9 g's without even trying maybe something there

Yes, but what are the effects on the timing (bph) of a mechanical after a series of consecutive high g maneuvers?

[Ezio]

Could be fun to test but i dont Got the equipment to make a test haha

[436NR]

Yeah it would!

[Ezio]

And also not the watches will offer my service to the forum members maybe i can be a trusted modder
