about 5% of watches having green numerals like pre-1970
they don't want people to associate with radioactive luminous material use betweem WWii and the 60's
Rare green numerals, not the design or the watch
That white one looks good. 45mm and auto, only 100m
Sadly the numerals themselves aren't lumed. Does anybody know if it supports 0.5 hour timezones, e.g. for SA. From the manual it doesn't look like it.

seiko website says luminous hands and index (what index means ?? the numerals or the dots)
Correct, only the dots are lumed. You can see a youtube video with the lights out. I don't like how the green numbers give an impression they're lumed, but really they're not.
agree
Yeah would have looked good with lumed numerals but most field watches are like that. Probably so the enemy doesn't spot you hiding at night.
Hamilton's khaki field is the same:

Just one more watch review:
https://youtu.be/yDGtofpDyjw?si=wdkwKVnYatSf9rHT- mineral crystal
- 100m WR
- push pull crown
- pvd coated
- is very thick (and moreso with the two pass nato).
- still good for the price on discount $399.
Interestingly heavily discounted straight away for a new model. Maybe it hasn't sold as expected, but we all know how dreamy Seiko RRP is.
military looking with gmt yes
others should have world time wheel like this one
https://watchfactory.com.au/products/fc8001-87d?variant=3996…
searching for one
put "world timer watch"
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/276188903064?chn=ps&norover=1&mk…
above is a world timer as impressive as it is expensive (USED)
so this GMT may not gain as such in value but highly collectible
I am not SELLING . Decision made it's my niece

LAST one on the Bay when purchased over 10 years ago at $125 AU from Singapore
not windable 24 jewels (someone may recall movement xS36 or like that
Just to confuse people
my Niece Out-ranks myself in my extended family
it's an Offering, not a Present
i received a warning
see you all in 10 years
yes 10 years ago i was active
then 5 years ago (can't remember)
so i stop being childish for a time
will come back having some fun later
We've all received warnings, it's no big deal. Just learn from it & keep going.
When you come back… Can you post the deal to where you get all your tiny violins?
i am telling my experience with watches
if you bought this GMT keeping in box for resale no worry
if you wish to wear but the Leather strap too tall
search Willow PVD watch bracelet
above average quality at budget price (less than 25 after adding postage 5 years ago)
expected to be less than 40
from Au online (store could close now low activities during Covid?
I gave my sister AM! 200m auto PVD on green nato
she ask if there was bracelet (original tinny pretending to be solid - some here would know the type and black peeling)
so i got 2 Willow PVDs 20/22 (saving some postage cost)
they are heavy so never went back to look again (in same parcel I also purchased several beautiful quick-release orange leather few 20 1 22mm)
THEN my sister kept the green PVD nato
I doted on family members
Some people says AM! is from HK some says India
whatever that micro brand was stupid to use good quality case but rubbish bracelet
(sister wore that watch once a month swapping between metallic basket-weave gold dial Seiko 5, all Lume titanium Pulsar auto and Red 37mm Swatch auto with exposed date wheel) she is near retirement only working on Sunday as locum
they were all from my collections (do you care about your sister that much?)
be careful of cheap watch stores selling fashion watches offering bracelet adjustment
they scratched the case back of my brother in law (my gift) Addidas chronograph (last one on the Bay when bought 93 including postage from UK)
leaving a mark like rail track
they might not even have tools, just screwdriver and such
How rare is rare?
