cornerstone Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 A couple of shots of my brand new daily beater - the Seiko Jungle Master: I wanted a waterproof daily beater and, frankly, some LumiBrite in my life. You want rehaut?! This baby has rehaut! And a rotating inner bezel compass thingy that doesn't work in the southern hemisphere - but I'm a sucker for gimmicks (and complications are gimmicks too, right?) I know I hadn't set the day date yet on this when I took the pics, but it's bilingual which is interesting. I'm very happy with it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 That is one sweet watch. Looks like it might be bright. Can you do a lume shot? Wear it well. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Nice piece, cornerstone! I have been considering one of these myself for the compass. It looks so much better than the T-touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Cheers! On the lume front - it's no Orange Monster with those famous massive blobs of lume. But it is fun when fully charged, and it can certainly be read in the dark long after the average rep has faded away: (Sorry blurry shots, no tripod. But no trickery with them, just point and shoot with the camera with the watch still running. Only sharpened in PS to mitigate the blur). The T-Touch is interesting. The Jungle Master isn't a proper compass really, more of a boy scout trick - but it could come in handy in, well, the jungle. Or perhaps the desert. It's more of an arid dive watch! With the T-Touch, I wonder if the fingerprints would get annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 A buddy has the t-touch, and the built-in gadgets are fun, but I still think your watch looks much better. ..and if you really have to rely on your watch for bearings, you're probably in more trouble than the t-touch can handle anyway.

Pugwash Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have a Casio compass digital for camping duty. It's not pretty, it's not mechanical and it's not analogue. However, it's damned good at what it does. Your watch is much prettier, though. I've wanted one for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenacious_b Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 So, how much could I expect to pay for one of those, and where might I find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenacious_b Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 nevermind, I just searched one and it's only 40mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempire Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Back from the dead via another thread. Great looking watch. Definitely worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
