Seiko Stargate military
Here is my latest project. Not quite what I had envisioned but still I wanted to share. I thought that the black version of the Stargate could make a nice military watch. I still think it does. For my first trial I used an original Seiko military dial and some Seiko hands, the hands are dark chrome framed from the white dialed Seiko FFF. Not bad looking overall but I thought I would like it more...
Please enjoy a few photos.
Speaking as a guy that was military for 26 years, I like that watch.
Having that inner 13-24 hour ring doesn't make a watch "military". Legibility, functionality, reliability, accuracy, and affordability do that. This one meets all of my basic requirements.
I'd wear it anywhere, and that's what counts.

I like to look at life the way my Corgi, Phil, does. Don't sweat the small stuff... and everything's small stuff.
I agree, that looks good!

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
Well, I like it anyway, good job.

I dig it. Looks the biz and as George pointed out easy to tell the time.
Your best yet. I hope you keep putting those out.

I need a new watch
Thank you.
That's exactly my thought too... I wanted to make a easily readable watch, different from the original and inspired to that type of dial. I like the result but I am kind of thinking of how it could be improved...Originally Posted by George W. Olney
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you very much
It's mostly good, just not fully clicking to me...
Thank you and yes I always like easy to read watches
It does have a nice look overall, but I think it's because it is a great base watch...
