Whats on Your Wrist?

Dude... Natty Boh.
Fucking A. Love that.
I grew up in Baltimore... I've drank hundreds of dozens.
My favorite Beermosa beer.

I was in Baltimore for years, Annapolis now. Hunt a lot outside of Chestertown. One of my hunting buds always has tall boys of random ‘old man’ beers- Old Milwaukee, Natty Boh, high life, etc.

My Hamilton Khaki Field watch. It was a Macy’s special edition at a ridiculous online price. By far the most accurate automatic I own. Strap is a Crown and Buckle single layer NATO strap.

I like that watch. What is the story on the Vaer watches? The ones I have looked at I like.

Smallish California company that makes pretty solid designs. Many models come in 3 versions... quartz, solar or Auto. They are trying to bring back some US assembly which is cool. If you like the look and movement I'd recommend them.

This one was a gift from my good friend Justin P. He got all of us a Seiko diver from the month and year we were born (Dec. ‘87 for this one). One of the coolest gifts I’ve ever gotten.

Holy hairy arm, hard to see the watch in that!

Really cool present though. In my head I am trying to think of cool shit like that to pass down to my boys.

Thats cool. The strap is a great compliment to your “old” Rolex.

This is my second watch. I wasn’t going to get another but I couldn’t help myself.

Vostok Amphibia Red Star Tank.

A.K.A, the Russian Tank watch. Cyrillic inscription at the 6 o’clock reads "KOMANDIRSKIE" (commander watch).

This was the second watch in my collection. Purchased for about $70 USD in 2005. My amateur horologist friend was really into Russian watches. Automatic movement, 31 jewels, still runs like an AK47.

Setting the date on this is a pain in the ass.

This is one big ass watch. But it’s a great insurance policy that’s easy to carry in the bush.

Such a cool watch. Most people probably won’t even know the full story behind the Emergency.

Thanks! The watch is from the early 1950s. Not flashy but she keeps perfect time.

It’s funny, I thought this Emergency II would be more like a B1 with backlight and features. It’s not at all. It has the same features as aerospace and no backlight. It’s not great in the field. You also have to re-register it every 2 years with NOAA. It’s free but you have to remember. They send you a sticker to “place on the ELT”, but the sticker is the same size as the watch. Haha…

Technically, the ELT battery is supposed to be replaced by Breitling and they also change the quartz movement battery that a separate battery from the ELT. It’s $1,100 every two years. But in reality you get 3-5 years then when you go to charge the ELT battery it will flash red and there’s a small light at the 12 o’clock that will flash red as well.

Isn’t that the “Blackwater” watch? Not “THE” watch but…
