My 5-watch blue dial collection: L-t-R: 1. [SRPG39] 5 Sports Field 2. [SSC935] Crystal Trophy Chrono 3. [SPB157J1] Baby Alpinist 4. [SRPE33] Save the Ocean Samurai 5. [SPB163J1] Riki Enamel

A ‘mid-grade’ 5-watch Seiko blue dial collection: 1. Field/beater 2. Chrono 3. GADA 4. Diver 5. Dress…thoughts?
What else would you substitute or add?

The Riki enamel dress watch was just added. I’ve had my eye on a Riki blue enamel or a Shippo enamel for a while but all the versions have been carrying a hefty price premium. They are really hard to find discounted…I finally found the SPB163J1 (actually a JDM SAR057) on Chrono24 and pulled the trigger. Beautiful watch,…my photos aren’t doing it justice. Cheers🥃

EOD EDC circa ‘92-93

Just dropping some ole school EOD EDC….the pre-robot/bombsuit days:
Rolex 16610 Submariner
Camillus MC-1 Paratrooper
Camillus MIL-K-818 Utility "Demo" Knife
Buckingham Leather 2-tool crimper pouch
USN M2 Cap Crimper, Plier type w/ Fuse Cutter
GP Lineman’s pliers
USN Fulton MX-993/U Flashlight

I’ll go on the record here and say that the Fulton flashlight (along with its OD green, right angle brother) was (is?) a complete piece of sh*t, generations of operators, at all levels, were thrilled when MagLites came out. Sometimes, equipping is baby steps… “We are jolly green giants, walking the Earth with guns." Indeed. ISOTF 🥃

SSNAV-D Blue Yonder, Tritium Quartz on a WoE NOFORN Single-Pass

Shout out to my USAF homies from a muddy-boot Army EOD tech, I’m a huge fan of air superiority.🫡

Gruppo Gamma - Peacemaker Bronze PN-20

New arrival, I’m a fan of the old school bronze-diver look and the hand-wind movement adds to that aesthetic. It’s 43mm so not for everyone; and it’s a somewhat of a Panerai Luminor Marina Bronzo homage…but it’s $900 instead of $18k. I just put it on the Gruppo Gamma leather strap, the rubber strap it came on is very nice, but for me the watch needs to be on a thick leather strap.
