the Dude has arrived
After three long weeks of waiting, I know that's not a long time to wait (it's quite short, actually) but I can be very impatient, my Scuba Dude arrived at my doorstep. Well, a chit of paper telling me to pick up a parcel at the post office arrived at my doorstep, but you get the point. I tore open the package and hated what I saw.....directions written in Russian! I quickly tossed that aside and immediately loved what i saw next....a wonderful watch.
Let me first say the watch has a ton of personality and charm to it. No other way to describe it but "personality." Secondly, I was expecting the dial to be more navy and not the teal green it really is. Doesn't change my opinion of it, but I was expecting a navy dial. Thirdly, the watch is quite a bit thicker than I expected it to be. It still fits under a shirt cuff so I'm ok.
I've been wanting this watch for a coupla years but never seemed to pull the trigger on it. I hesitated partly because I couldn't decide between the larger (I believe it is called the ministry) case with 22mm lugs or the classic smaller case with 18mm lugs. I finally decided that my birthday was a good enough reason to buy a new watch and purchased the classic case (it's model 420 if anyone is interested). I also had to buy a coupla new straps as I didn't have any available 18mm straps. Thanks, Ague Trading Company!
So, enough blabbering....on to more pics!

Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Superb! I've owned two of them and wouldn't be surprised if I bought a third at some point.

Happy Birthday! A lot of watch for the money, and a ton of character.
Too many watches, not enough wrists.
