Occasionally I visit the flea mart at Sungei Rd..........and was suprised to pick up these 2 watches for a decent price....

1) Vostok watch....needs TLC.....but it runs .....$15



2) SAF issue Hamilton.....glass cracked.....but watch runs perfectly, just needs a new crystal,......$30



Love the 'TROPICAL' dial Vostok......

add a service to both watches; and there you go. two daily beaters at a very reasonable price.

Wow good catch man!

[toffeesthings]

Good catches, especially with the Hamilton Bro! Can I trouble you to let me know the casing diameter of the SAF Hamilton? I'm thinking of hunting for one if it's 38mm but maybe not if its 36mm. Many thanks in advance! : )

[problmchylde]

The Hamilton is 38mm without the crown........41mm+ with.

Cheers,P.

Wow...the hamilton is the one that is issued to R.O.D personels?

Thanks for the swift update bro! Really appreciated! The crystal can be replaced rather cheaply at neighborhood shops, maybe for $30. It won't be sapphire crystal but will do the job. Enjoy bro!

Hehe, Bro Feilong,
It's nice yeah? This used to be the Hamilton given to ROD personnel. Now there's an updated version of the Hamilton Khaki with a rotating bezel given to ROD/MR folks. The new one is 40mm, quite nice but I like the older version better. It retains the classic military watch look. And if it can be found for under $50, why not? I think I got 3 more years before I ROD. Just wait lor...

Haha, no fish prawn also can lah. Who knows some high-ranking military personnel reading will take your feedback into account and make changes? Wow, if like that, dunno if one day we'll get an SAF Blancpain 50 fathoms upon ROD, hehehe!

[feilong108]
