What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

View attachment 612914

One of the watches I had assembled. Seiko 4R35 movement in a modified SKX type case. Shroud made from naval bronze, and assembled with blind hole screws. The bezel insert is sapphire, rear printed with lume applied so the hash marks and numerals can be seen in darkness. Domed sapphire crystal. The bezel itself was made by a fellow up in.... Ohio I think. The back is engraved "The Dog's Bollocks", because I think this one turned out well, has been worn quite a bit too.
Intersting take on the Tuna. Looks very well done

I don't always wear a watch when I hunt. But when I do, I prefer a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.

I don't always hunt Roe Deer, but when I do this one keeps pretty good time.

Just ordered another watch. :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot, you pack of enablers :ROFLMAO:

Not sure it'll see much hunting duty.

I'd had a hankering for a blue faced watch for a while.
I didn't have a GMT (apart from the G-Shock).
I didn't have a Flieger (It'll do until I get a Laco).

Sapphire, screw down crown, interesting GMT operation, Swiss movement (Ronda 515 from memory), some cool Glycine history.

What's there not to like for US$127!

@0002S I like the espresso at 5:30!

I’m wearing an Omega Seamaster 300 now, fantastic watch. My son wore it to prom, which is a different sort of hunting.

Everyday
 
Checking the time before I test the water resistance in Aruba.

Picked up a WOE Five Eye Nato strap for my everyday. Really liking the Nato strap over band or bracelet, not sure i'll ever go back.

You have good taste! I agree, the WOE straps are excellent.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
