Hi Forum Friends!

I found this watch at an auction, and kind of liked the dial and also the size, so I placed my bid, and won it!

It had a monsterbracelet, which I of course took away!
It's on a black leather strap for now, but maybe an olive colored natostrap in the future?

The crystal is in need for more polywatch, but it is tikkin on, and keeping good time!

A question, searching this reference, most of the ones I find are with numbers and with beautiful lume.
And also with a nickname - MACV-SOG, some websites claim that these are military issued watches?

So the one that I have is a more common watch?

Cool, yours? Not so easy to find.
Nope, found the picture from a dealer!

But now that I know they exist, it is on my hunting list!

This is a nice looking watch. Dial uncluttered.
Is it true that Seiko watches are hard to get serviced?

I want one now. What's the difference between Seiko and Grand Seiko?
