Zodiac and mister freedom 

Vietnam eta military watch strap on bulova. Now the 16mm lug width makes a lot of sense, and the color looks better than the factory blue or black.

@cheapmuthafukr well, one pocket suggests spec to the ‘41 uniform regs (maybe even earlier) - but I’m not expert enough to confirm anything, I just know enough to ask pertinent questions. 

Could even be a replica 

Definitely not a replica. It smelled like old wool when I found it at the thrift store years ago.

I don’t have any resources that aren’t available to everyone else - I just read, remember and learn. But here’s the full 1941 Uniform Regulations, as I said they’re public domain.

Hopefully your shirt is a war issue, I was just curious as to how you knew … especially with it being in such great condition, it’s such a great find regardless.

However, this is exactly the point I made in the ‘blog’ thread, and more recently in ‘blunders’ thread - it’d be great if ‘information’ was actually substantive; “I love my CPO shirt” is opinion, “My CPO shirt is a WWII issue” might well be misleading. 

I love my wwii (maybe) cpo

LVC and Braun on vintage tropic

Is that the McCoy's wool pile jacket? Looks great! You might have to change your name to NotSocheapmuthafukr, though.

I wish… just Patagonia. They are the OG tho, so all good.

Bezel or no? The bezel on my braun has been kinda sticky, so I took it off to clean it and I kind of like the watch without it.

Thickness between a vintage hand wound 2 hander (universal geneve) and modern automatic chrono (edox). Kind of impressed how accurate the UG is for a watch that’s around 5mm thick including the acrylic crystal.

Why does the left leg always twist more than the right? 

I don’t know… and left hand twill is the opposite. I’m sure ringxring made a post explaining it back in 2005 sometime, but I’m old and can’t remember.

I love leg twist

My first new watch, and first chrono.
