Cassiopeia (and Seiko Monster!)
New phone has astrophotography mode I've being trying out. Need to use a tripod and holder to get best results. Was just giving it a go while out walking our dog. Had tried a few other nights but the Seiko lume was too bright and blowing out the night mode! Shot tonight was about an hour after leaving the house!
Was a bit cloudy to they were being lit up by light pollution. I really don't understand why people feel the need to light up their houses like christmas trees in the country side. Just use sensor lights! I'll try with the tripod and go to a more isolated spot next clear night.
Not mine but it can get some pretty impressive shots.

This arrived today and i think itll last longer than its predecessor (JLC Polaris Mariner). Green is the new blue imo 😁
Excuse the outrage of a strap, i have a nice dark brown leather number that should have arrived by now on order from Panerai.

I've been messing about with different bracelets for the Speedie Mark II, including the Uncle Seiko US1171.
Then, just to see, I tried out the US1171, with the Speedie Pro hollow end links on something else.
Well, slap my leg and call me Henry, if it didn't fit just nicely!
Authentic vintage looks on a modern homage.

Ah wibbs. The ultronic diver. I missed out on one of those recently in Italy. I bid a grand, it sold for 1100. It was the green dial version.
Anyway. This has arrived from our japanese friends. It has an 8f56 movement, perpetual calendar and an accuracy of 20 s/y. It does have an integrated bracelet.
It has a pink dial, salmon pink, pink is not for everyone, Rolex do a pink, if you are wearing a watch and it's pink, it gets noticed. It's a Seiko and it's pink. That's the whole pink bit sorted.
Oh it's a GMT, it took a minute to figure out how that works, the minute hand and GMT hand are set by the one position on the stem. The hour hand is independent.
I am in in the hills outside Lisbon, and a little bit drunk. I just got somewhat lost in the hotels garden.

As far as I can tell late 90s early 2000. It's an 8f56-0020. There's this one and a black dialed version in steel. There is also a Titanium version.
The movement uses a large coin cell for a 10 year life. Setting the perpetual calendar is done by shorting contacts on the movement. If you pull out and return the crown, it'll index the date wheel to show the month, second hand will take a position to indicate which year in the leap year cycle it is.
Here is a better pic showing the handset and indexes.

Just after arriving in the post! 🙂
After getting it out of the bubble wrap, I couldn't believe how nice it is! My journey into watchmaking begins! First thing will be to research the moment before diving in and of course get some tools.
Huge Thank You to @NIMAN for sending me this fantastic little Timex and to @banie01

New watch day! I ordered this 16 weeks ago and have been waiting patiently for Sinn to dispatch it. They had said mid November, so it was actually a pleasant surprise to get it so early. I have to say that I am very impressed. Well worth the wait
(also I have no idea why boards decides to rotate some pictures! Can't make any sense of it.)
