Hey i have the exact Tissot!
Can show more on the strap you using on it?
Hard to find something that matches that watch actually.

Nice bicycles you have there. Self training / leisure cycle / serious Mountain bike / adventures / keeping fit?

I am almost a recovered watchaholic, but last checked shows only 70% recovered. How?

The Tutima boys. On the left: Tutima Military NATO Chronograph TL reference 750-02. On the right: Tutima Field Chronograph reference 768-01. I am not sure of the 768-01 is really called the Field Chronograph. I got this information from a Japanese website. This watch is very rare (nice word for unpopular?) but I like it has it has the same centrally mounted chronograph second and minute layout as the Lemania 5100.

Not really collecting mil spec watches but just collecting what catches the eye. Somehow it seems to gyrate towards military type watches. It is the simple dial, ease of reading the time and the fact that they are tool watches, made to be used.

takashi78,

Sadly Stocker & Yale is no more. However their designs lives on in the military watches under the Traser and Luminox brands. As for the 184A, it does appear time to time on the bay, but I cannot guarantee the watches sold there are all original. The other choice is to visit the sales forum of military watch forums. They go from between USD 50 to 150 condition dependent.

Two of my favourite Casio. They are not G-Shocks. These watches are a part of a three watch series under the MD-703 200 M Water Resistant Series. On the left, MD-703S-7AV and right, MD-703-1AV.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the kind words. As for being a 'complete' collection, I am getting there.... ::)

More to come, but for now the cheapest G-Shock anyone can get. The DW-5600E-1V and its brother DW-5600EG-9V (the one with the gold trimmings).
