Needing an odd 14mm spring pin, I had the good fortune today to stumble upon a spring pin assortment while at the local hardware store.  So after being tucked away for close to 6 years, my lone titanium watch is again 'reporting for duty!' 

The watch was given to me by a generous co-worker. While I was a quality control and shipping manager, he worked as a purchasing agent for the aftermarket performance auto parts company which we worked for. He brought me a box and said "I know how much you like watches so here ya go".  An absolute gentlemen. 


The watch is full titanium, and is branded for Nology, a spark plug wire company.  Inside is a seiko quartz movement with chronograph, capable of precise tracking to the tenth of a second. I think the dial and hands are a bit 'Speedmastery'...hey I can dream :D:D



I like the case and bracelet...

This watch reminds me of my former workmate and good friend but I don't think it looks too shabby with my "new employer's" uniform either. 

Titanium grey meets ABU digital camo...

being all ti this things lite as a feather, a watch that until you need it you truly..."Fugetaboutit"!!!

** by the way wis, I noticed the dial's sitting off but less than a second won't do but...i'll get it
tomorrow:D

Thanks for looking!

Looks good!  Reminds me a bit of a Sinn / Archimede case design.
