Red sky from smoke in the California air makes the shot look like it was taken on Mars

Is this the re-issue or the real deal? Looks NOS!

Just arrived!!! A big thank you to Eric aka Sierra11b for a seamless transaction. He included a terrific patina (cleaned of course) Maratac NATO along with OEM Seiko straps. This thing is in amazing shape for its age. I owned a few Image, but the nicest condition one I have owned. Love this re-issue and clean dial, except insert, of the original 7549-7010.

Thanks again Eric!!!

Cooking, drinking, and rocking a charcoal Ute NATO. I’ll fight anyone that doesn’t think this is the best NATO color ever. Grey is a close second though. Finally got it in 22mm.
