| I had plans for this Linglingwatches milgauss lookalike and purchased a couple of NATO straps from watchbandgirl hoping they'd arrive close together. Nice when things arrive exactly as hoped All arrived today. The milgauss lookalike came from 肖 娟玲 on a perfectly decent black NATO, but I wanted something just a bit more adventurous, and I'm really pleased with the combos. I didn't open the watch for a movement shot because my trusty rubber ball wouldn't do it, so...too bad, I tried Anyone know for sure what's in these? Anyways, here's my photos...and I really like this watch. I wore it all day and it was extremely comfortable and kept essentially perfect time. Also this particular example hacks perfectly with no second hand jump at all. Plus it winds smoooooooth and easy. Screw-down crown is also easy and feels solid. |

| Oh wow, this is NICE Ron ! ..You have that EXTREMELY cool second hand, which looks like lightning. Along with a simple, yet sporty kind of dial. The orange accents fit in flawlessly, and helpshow off that second hand once again !!! It's a classic look, and I think your straps personalize it, and make it something that is all your own. The version with the tan lines stands out, while at the same time fitting in nicely with the overall look of this watch. The gray lined Nato looks just as good, and would probably add in a stealth-like feel to your watch ! Either way, the watch looks GOOD !..That case is extra nice, and it's great how the case-back is so smooth, but has those vertical lines there as well. They seem to draw your eye to the lines on the crown by the way also !!! FANTASTIC pictures here, along with watch Ron ! Hope you ENJOY it !..Congrats !!! ____________________________________ | |

| Ron,
Thanks for sharing that one. I'm tempted myself by it. Is the lume any good? |

- Ron,
Thanks for sharing that one. I'm tempted myself by it. Is the lume any good? Thanks Doc (and everybody ) I just checked and it *has* lume but I have no idea how good the lume is. Mind you, the test was just me walking from a flourescent lit room into another room and shutting the door--and the initial lume was actualy brighter than I expected, so... ??? If I can remind my 1960s addled brain, I'll try to get a better idea of the lume overnight tonight. I will say I'm really happy wih the watch. As far as accuracy goes, my initial impression is this is a very good timekeeper. |

| Love the NATO straps and the watch looks like a pretty decent homage to the Milgauss. Congrats! Stan |
