[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3915291, member: 24867"] Thanks, I appreciate it. I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but as long as some folks enjoy reading it I’ll be happy to keep posting. These do take quite a bit of effort to write up! I won’t do all of them, as I don’t want overload everybody. Like my Seiko for example. I love these little watches, but most people see them as cheap throwaways (incorrectly in my opinion). I think they’re fantastically engineered workhorse watches that look great and I really like working on them. They keep time just as good, and many times even better, than watches at several times their price. I will try though to write up some stuff on the the more interesting ones I think people will enjoy seeing, like this Vietnam issue Air Force navigation watch. I have a chronograph on my desk that I will be starting on soon. This is going to be a big step for me, but I’ve read through the technical manuals about 10 times now, and I think I am ready for the challenge. [USER=5412]@dennishoddy[/USER], the one I will be working on actually has the exact same chronograph movement as yours. I’ll let you know how it goes! I’ll hopefully start on it in a week or two. Thank you, I appreciate it. I’m enjoying the hobby thus far. It’s been quite a learning experience. [/QUOTE]
