I have a 36mm gilt dial.

I got it for the Bond vibes and I love it.

I think it is very, very good value for money compared to other watches in the price category. The movement has been holding to tighter specs that issued for the year or so that ive had it. One of my more accurate watches. It'll hold zero over the week if I take it off for sleeping most nights.

The dial gives surprisingly precise readings given the 36 size I have. Works great under water but the seconds hand is a little blurry. I'm sure the 39, and 42 sizes would have better under water visibility on the seconds hand. But its a great skin diver.

With 18mm lug width, it is a strap monster. I tend to rock sailcloth and parachutes more than the OEM bracelet. But the bracelet is perfectly serviceable, but the 36 does use a butterfly with no half links or micro adjust. The only counter to that is, being a 36 and lighter, if it wears a little loose, I don't mind because of the size and style. I use the textiles for tight fits. Also, it takes in a whole new character with a $10 straight link jubilee style from amazon.

The lume isn't going to give you sun burn, but its is very much no slouch. Its enough to get me to the minute around the apartment and a champ in the tent went camping. Under starlight, you can just read the dial as normal with the finishing of the hands and indices. It's usually his under my sleeve due to size and I can always make out the time with relative ease, so I'm not "cheating" by giving it a flash light charge.

I'm gonna psyche profile the guy and say its a Seiko.

I can't quiet remember but I think he has a us navy background.

I don't know what it is, but it looks like a 70s design.

Excellent watch to source though. I hope we get an answer.

Go look at San martin.

Better than Seiko up to 1500usd in my opinion.

That Timex is not a bad get.

Sinn makes one for air craft fuels and solvents.

I'm going to give you the benefit of doubt.

Lying about the cost of a watch might not be such a bad idea.

It sounds like you're heading for divorce with or without the watch, so might as well gaslight her for her half of it, anyway.

Oh and remember to remind her and her lawyer, bonus if the kids are around, that it was her dumbass that thought you'd be worth it when she agreed to marry in the first place.

Enjoy your time piece!! 😀

Either that, or at least you and her boyfriend will know the truth. Honestly, its a better investment than the FDs you were probably going to blow her money on. AND FRIDAY IS TOMORROW!!
