    I’m gonna psyche profile the guy and say its a Seiko.

    I can’t quiet remember but I think he has a us navy background.

    I don’t know what it is, but it looks like a 70s design.

    Excellent watch to source though. I hope we get an answer.

    One thing that struck me, watching Alone In The Wilderness 1 & 2, was how infrequently Dick wore a watch. It makes sense when you think about it, what with him not having to adhere to a strict schedule very often, and frequently doing the type of labor where a watch could be broken or become a safety liability. He only seems to wear a watch when he’s not doing any harder labor.

    God I love those documentaries; Mr. Proenneke was a real one.

    He made it out of a beaver testicle, fishing line and the gears he carved from a tuna can top.
