I spent quite a lot of time viewing several TR 900 on the fora, and doing my homework before going on mine. All the TR 900 I saw came with a sandblasted case and case back, except ...This one: As every TR 900, a superb watch, with a nice dial and hands, a...  

I do think that it has a military look and the case back, although too crowded and much, attests to this But from your comment, I gather that it is not one of your favourites... Cheers

And yes, I prefer the sandblasted case. That's not that I don't love it, but I just prefer the " normal " Sandblasted case of the TR 900. A great watch, by the way... Suprising! Best, Nicolas

Or is that just a random strap that came with it? I'm also facinated by the marking Tornek-Rayville US, I don't know what the US part means in this case A

Wait a bit, a Review is in the Tube... Best, Nicolas

but so beautiful!... like quasi all the Ff vintage. I think that the case on this one is rare, and gives, as you said, a more civil look. A nice look, indeed, but a less tool-watch look. I remember when you show me your another TR, hermano... the first ti... 

FF... Best, my friend. Nicolas

I just think that it was polished. Could be sandblasted to correct finish. Nice dials and hands. There might be someone at the MWR forum that might have the correct crown. Brian...  

I agree, Brian. All the sharp edges are gone. A real shame really, as I'd prefer to see an original case with dings in the sandblasted finish than the lines (and history) destroyed. Still nice, though.

But couldn't believe that it was made on a tornek, that someone would be stupid enough to make it on THIS watch. I had a doubt on the polish while seeing that tghe case back had the same " finish "... All the writings are still here, and didn't went out w... 

That's indeed a logical explanation. As for the crown, will tell my firend, if he's looking for one, to go there. Thanks, once again! Best, Nicolas

...there is still a LOT to love about this watch. My favorite elements are: - the strong and well-proportioned bezel; - the shape of the second hand. It puts me in mind of a spear that the Spartans would carry. An appropriate icon for a military watch; - ... 

A Nato or this kind of strap. You may also give the watch to a strapmaker, and ask him to make a strap sewing it around the fixed bars... As for the watch in itself, can't agree more, Daos... The TR 900 is my absolute favourtie FF, along with the Pakistan...
