The Kobold SMG-1 is King!!!

Post by GGD » Wed Jun 16, 2010 5:51 am

Hey guys -

so thanks again to Jay for hooking me up with my SMG-1 :grin:

This thing is awesome, I think it is probably the most comfortable watch I've ever worn..... being Ti it weighs like nothing and wears very, very well on the zulu strap.

I haven't tried it on the bracelet yet, probably won't bother to be honest because I think it's a perfect match for the zulu strap addiction I have :lol:

I love the crown at the 8 o'clock position., the GMT hand is unobtrusive unless you're looking for it., white hands are VERY legible against the big, black dial & the red seconds hand is sweet!

I initially thought I'd want to get the date wheel swapped over to white number / black background but the black on white is growing on me and makes reading the date at a glance very easy.

Anyway - lets be honest, it's all about the pics :thumbsup:

These aren't all that flash but will give you a general idea.... it's very hard to capture the depth of the dial but it looks a lot better in person than it does in the pics.

Paul - you would LOVE it :rock:

Cool Don. Love the crystal on it and the extremely legible no nonsense dial/GMT function. Great piece and great pics. Kinda like the white date wheel too but I see what you mean about a black one. :salute:

Thats my favorite K by far. Congrats it is much better looking then the one in the 1st pic... but the black date wheel is a nice upgrade IMHO. You have the best Tac watch collection.... :salute:

Wow, Don! You don't disappoint!

FANTASTIC!!

You know how long I've wanted that one.. I actually sent the original guy a "I'll buy it" PM, but Doc got to it before me.. (story of my life...)

Anyway, HUGE CONGRATS!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks guys :salute:

I'm pretty happy with this one. It's one of those watches that you put it on and then completely forget you're wearing it because it's so comfortable.

Paul - you seriously need to consider one of these..... it's unreal & I know you'd LOVE it :cheers:

SMG-1 is definitely the king, Don. Congrats!!! That's one that I regret never getting my hands or I should say wrist) on.

Love the pics and look forward to more. :cheers:

Hey Don,

Congratulations again! Great looking tactical watch. One of my favorite Kobolds by far. A very clean looking and easy to view dial. Use it well.

Regards,
Scott

Man, that Kobold is SUPERB. The HRV on the same side as the crown is a very nice touch. The GMT hand on that watch is easily seen, but quite unobtrusive. Just perfect.

Love the shot with the Omega, too! One of these days I will have the X33.

Outstanding photographs. Your pics make me feel like I need a Kobold for sure.

It's a beauty, Don. I'm with Bill on the date-wheel. It's not a huge deal, but eventually a white on black date wheel would just finish it off. :thumbsup:

Hi Don,
Great SMG 1. For some reason she has all the look of a military kind of watch with GMT. I own one too and done the review with Bruce Lee. I also see you change your avatar of a Judo throw pix. Are you in Judo? Which school?
Best.
