Chris, yours is not a sword but a Samurai or Mongolian blade cos it curves.

Sword is straight & pointed.  ;D

Duniajam,

Not really a military collector. Wanted to collect but realised very quickly it is a minefield out there with regards to these watches. Wrong case, wrong hands, franken watches etc....

Seiko I like, but not even close to yours. I have a few Seikos, mostly Divers and Seiko 5.

Here more sword hands...

Self assembled pilot inspired watch with parts from Germany and ETA 2801 hand wind movement.

The two Seamaster together. The SM300 was assembled from parts sourced from the Internet and Omega itself. It is the same as the ones being assembled down under. I had a great time doing this project.

duniajam,

I believe the watch is still available via Amazon.

sshark,

I can't take all the credit. I bought the dial and hands off the Internet. The case was from Omega. The movement was sourced locally here in Taiwan from an older Seamaster. I had my watchmaker strip the movement, clean, re-oil, replace worn parts and retime the movement. I assembled the watch and sent it back to my watchmaker for final fit and clearance checks. Also he did the water resistance checks on the watch, twice, once without movement and once with. He also rechecked the timing after the movement is fitted. It was a fun project. I am currently looking to start another, but this time with the large triangle (at 12 o'clock) Omega dial. Still sourcing for the dial.

I consider this watch a homage to the original, although all the parts are original Omega, it is not 100% correct for the watch. For example the dial and hands are correct for the watch, but the case is not. Currently Omega only have cases for the version with date, thus the space where the movement sits in is about 0.5 mm deeper (because of the calendar module). So you will need thicker movement clamp. As such the case part number is not correct for the dial and hands. Also the font on the case back is not 100% as the original. The font is slightly different.

The movement that I am using is correct for the dial and watch but the serial number dates the movement before this watch was released by Omega in the 60s.
