Incoming, What have you got in the mail? Part 2

[DPflaumer]

A quartz Victorinox Alliance to match my wife's. I wasn't sure at first but when hers got here yesterday I was very impressed.

Because my Sandoz HK has proven to be difficult to mod (from the dial size to crystal and chapter ring) I decided to jump on this one when I saw it:
Attachment 692841

That's a Sandoz SG, right? Perfect for a MKII milsub. (lose the cyclops, though. )

SKX007J1, my first ever automatic watch.

Yeah, looks like the SG. I definitely want to get rid of the cyclops but I'm worried I'll run into some problem seeing my bad luck so far with these.

Just some parts for the next load. Refurbing the 2 M1s that are under my supervision :D.

1) A new Miyota 1L12 for the boss lady's Momentum M1 (there were loose parts in the case, hence no return under their great warranty)

2) New bezel insert both mine and hers, kindly sent to me at no charge by the folks at Momentum!

3) A Bonetto Cinturini model 285 from the Watch Prince for mine. I needed a new strap as my ZULUs were getting a bit gnarly, and figured that rubber may hold up to pool duty a bit better.

Glad you were happy with our service Mike, will let them know :).

Mako Pepsi. Hoping it will be a winner!

Just ordered a Seiko SNKL09.

Only problem is, some sites list it as having 20mm lugs, others 18mm. I guess I'll just have to wait until it gets here, before I order a canvas strap and bring out the fieldy goodness from it...

To join kmusky with one of these 20mm lug ones - should arrive in a few weeks..

Quartz Seikos don't get a lot of love around here - especially if they aren't at least Solar. But I put a lot of thought (read: way, way too much thought and time) into this purchase. I've been toying with the idea of collecting vintage autos, but their general unreliability and the astoundingly high price for a regular service ($200+ where I live) really made me realize how much I appreciate the simpleness and mechanical longevity of a basic quartz watch. I wanted to find something that would be a highly functional, everyday beater, but still look dressy and elegant - something that will hopefully last a long time, and I can change the batteries myself. My requirements were basically: sapphire, quartz, decent WR, screw-down caseback (for ease of changing batteries), dressy looks, 38mm or smaller, lume, and stock bracelet. I looked at a bunch of Tissots and a few Citizens, but they're pretty pricey and veer between having no lume/WR or looking distinctly sporty. Plus I'm not crazy about most of the bracelet styles on those Tissots - too blingy.

This Seiko is the closest I found to meeting all my requirements. I'm not sure how I feel about the titanium and I wish the bracelet had solid end-links, but other than that it seems like a good fit. Plus I know that a Seiko quartz movement will be both accurate and reliable - one of my vintage watches is a '70s-era Seiko quartz I found in a GoodWill. I replaced the battery myself and it's kept perfect time. And a $3 battery is a lot better deal than a $200 service, in my book.

I've got a Casio Oceanus OC-102L-8AVEF on the way.
I've been looking for a plain face yet smart looking watch. 100m WR too.
Can't find any info on the net about this one. I think it may be from around the same time as the OC-108.
Was a bit of a impulse purchase but didn't pay a lot for it.
