Actually I bought a C15 from Christopher Ward and I honestly have only taken it off to shower and sleep since it came in a week ago. I'll post pictures later.

Nice. Just this morning I managed to snag a Seiko 5 "military" for $60 including shipping from ozzyland. I'll post some photos in a couple weeks when I get mine.

I definitely recommend picking up a Christopher ward if you have the chance/cash. I had a local jewler look it over when it came it, he said it was one of the best watches he'd seen in a long time and with good care it should be ticking after I stop.

The more I read this thread the more it made me feel like my Eco drive, g-shock, and fossils weren't cutting it, so I now have an old vostok komandirskie on the way to me. I also ordered an orient Mako and a NATO strap for it. Orient has a 30% off plus a free random watch offer. Or you can go to retailmenot.com and find a coupon for 50% off plus free shipping.
Curse you all...in the best possible way.
