I traded away my SKX 173 for that St Martin bronze I got a while back, now I'm getting it back as part of another trade with the same guy at WUS. It has caught a minor mod along the way. Also getting the parts that were replaced. I like the 12 hour bezel. BTW, that's his wrist and Volvo. Looks good Mike. I like that mod. It's understated.Understated. Yes, a well-chosen descriptor. The nice thing is, is that it is reversible if I get tired of it.

Excited about this one I just acquired from my pal David. 6139-6012 I think it looks great on the black leather ZULU/NATO but may begin the hunt for its original Railroad Bracelet.

I traded away my SKX 173 for that San Martin bronze I got a while back, now I'm getting it back as part of another trade with the same guy at WUS. It has caught a minor mod along the way. Also getting the parts that were replaced. I like the 12 hour bezel. BTW, that's his wrist and Volvo. Well, that deal fell through. He decided he didn't want what I offered.

Oh your going to love working on those. Pocket watch parts are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge compared to our Seiko pieces. They’re lovely to work on.

Yeah, I can see that 😂
Now to see what all beyond the obvious is missing and track down parts.

Looks like I'm going to be a father......................have a bambino on the way;) Yaaaaaaay! Fantastic news! So so many congratulations! Your first or an addition? One tip: Make sure you buy a birth month/year when the time comes, I’m still hunting a March 2011 as I didn’t think of it at the time. (So if anyone has an SKX007 that they want to swap let me know!)

Great. Now I am am unsure again.
I thought it's going to be an Orient Bambino, not a real kid?
