Mate, the background music is way too loud, I could hardly hear you. My dad was an Australian Advisor living with the SOG teams at Dak To during the war ( 69-70 ) and he brought back home his issued watch and I still have it. The new one looks good too!

My SNK381 is a bit small but I like it. Next stop is adding more period looking baton hands and a white date wheel. Probably will pop off the Seiko 5 "shield" under Seiko and with all that it will look very similar to some of the originals.

@@wristrants Okay no worries. But it would be interesting to know for sure. Out of curiosity. I have two other seiko 5 watches and they run within 10 seconds range. i have another watch with NH35 movement and it runs -5 to -10 seconds in various positions. That said, i too never had to worry about the accuracy because these watches are fairly accurate for my everyday use. And the values i gave you above came from a timegrapher android app. So, it's only an approximation and the watches could be a bit better in actuality.

@@Seirin-nr.15 yeah 35 kinda sucks. But that's within the advertised accuracy range for this movement. So seiko will not take it back. You can get it regulated however. The accuracy varies wildly on these movements right out of the factory depending on the individual watch. One could be running at COCS certified rate, but another piece could run 15 sec fast and so on. but i still love the watch so much. it doesn't leave my wrist at all. i am planning on a domed sapphire crystal upgrade
