I've had a couple of citizen solar dive watches, when I was diving. They didn't spend all their time underwater

I've put pics of my full collection up before, when I have chance next week I can take a few pics of the G10 and post them.

That would be great, I look forward to seeing it. You might end up costing me money!

I was at the DHU at the time I was issued it, which is tri-service. Anyway, it was buckshee and buckshee is always good.

100 Years of British Military Watches - Part 3 - anOrdain
Cold war to the present day 1980 was a significant year for British military watches. For the first time in a quarter of a millennium, a British military issued watch was not powered by a mechanical wind up movement, but an entirely new electronic movement commonly known as Quartz. The...

I missed getting one of those Lorus "Lumibrite" field watches* shown earlier in the forum, so I've ordered the titanium one.
20% off at H Samuel for a short while, so it's £39.99 click and collect. (I was a tit for missing the other one.)
It's the one @Dashing_Chap was referring to I think, so I'll report on it when it arrives. (There's a review of it on YT and the tester says it's amazing at that price.)
*At £15 that has to be the all-time bargain. Also found out the arrse-issue Casio black analogue (with the white numbers) was also £15 at the same time. Double bollocks for missing that too.

Looks the business. The screw back is a real upgrade and the screw-down crown looks quite 'meaty,' much better than the push / pull crown. Hopefully it's not so big that it digs in the back of the hand. It looks similar in quality to the CWC issue black diver. Excellent choice of strap!

I never have a problem with the crown digging in as I wear my watch on my right wrist

Fascinating. I have a Pulsar chronograph which is the civilian version of the Gen 1. I didn't realise that when I bought it as a cheap back up watch when Argos had a sale of end of line stuff about ten years ago. Reading the article it mentioned the crown popping off. It does! I went to change the date the other day and the crown and spindle came right out. OK it popped back in but not what I expected. I do like it. (picture taken a while ago, on the 15th of some month)

I've noticed this thing about marking 2, 4, 6, 8, instead of 3, 6, 9 o'clock. It annoys me, probably age-related grumpiness. It is a very clear face, but I'm not sure what the white arcs are about. Anyway, I'm pleased with my Argos bargain - thanks for pointing out it's back to full price, I was lucky!.
Useful round up here: The best watches for men under £200
Ms W21A asked me for hints for Christmas so I sent her a link for a £1450 vintage watch I fell in love with via Presentable Watches thread. I never expected it and she didn't buy it. However, she did get me this which has much the same look...
I like it a lot, and this is probably going to become my office watch. Anything requiring 'real' work and it will be the workaday Siekos, or Mirvane.

As promised, my new Lorus field with the titanium case.
The strap is surprisingly good for the money (same as the watch itself): double layer nylon. Unfortunately it’s right at the last hole on my wrist, so it’s now on this...
It bigger than I expected. The forums all bang on about how these little field watches look lost unless you’re anorexic etc. Load of shiite, I’ve got 7.5” tradesman’s wrists and it’s fine.
Bloody hell, it’s really light.
(First NATO strap I’ve had: need to see how I get on with it.)
