Sat Dec 4, 2010 Fossil Blue DQ-1039 Digital

Today's watch is my old Fossil Digital Sport Hologram Display DQ1039. My sister gave me this watch when my old Timex IRONMAN triathlon died. This watch has a large display and a excellent EL light. The display is a really cool blue that is hard to capture with a flash. I did get a good picture of it a few weeks ago while playing golf. That pic can be seen by clicking the link bellow.

Nov 30, 2010 Digital Watch Week Watch #2 Vintage 1970's Seiko A134-5000T

Today's watch is this vintage Seiko Digital. This is the first watch that I can remember my father ever wearing.
I believe the watch dates to 1978. The watch measures about 35mm across and features day/date and alarm and hourly beep. Amazingly, this 30+ year old digital still functions as it should and keeps good time. Other than the smallish size compared to modern watches,it still looks fantastic and is an execelent dressy digital watch. I enjoy wearing it!

How to put a NATO Strap on a G Shock

Nov 19, 2010 Nato Strap Week Watch #5 Casio G Shock GL-7500HD-1 Milshock on DYI NATO/ZULU Strap

Today's watch is my G Shock 7500 that I fitted with a modified heavy duty 4 ring Zulu Strap. I had wanted to put one of my G Shocks on a NATO but after Shockeys struggles with the adapters I wanted to find another way. I came up with this. Instead of modifying the watch or using adapters, why not modify the strap itself. I chose a heavy duty 22mm ZULU and cut notches at the points it needed to fit the lugs. I then melted the cuts with a lighter. It worked great!

Besides being fitted with a NATO, this is a really cool watch. It is a limited edition 2005 model that was designed by legendary Hawaiian Surfer Donald Takayama. It's a G-Lide model that features a tide graph, moon phase indicator and a vibrating alarm that is perfect for swimmers, surfers, water skiers and anybody else who needs an alarm they can feel instead of hear.

It's a fantastic watch that I am very proud to own!

Casio makes a great watch!
