    That’s a beautiful watch! They make great daily drivers.

    To be honest, I did have to be without it for a few weeks about 9 years in when it got sent to Omega for its scheduled maintenance. That was so tough staring multiple times a day at my bare wrist out of habit. I was so glad to get it back when they were done. They even sent it with a bag of all of the worn, original parts that were replaced in the service. Omegas are amazing!

    Yours looks in great shape after all these years. I had mine serviced last year.

    It’s a total work horse, and it seems impervious to my constant abuses. I still love it like it was brand new.

    If you ever see a stopped Timex Dynabeat or Electric for cheap, grab it. A fresh 303 battery might get it running. I've had better luck with them than with their old winders (sorry, John Cameron).

    WW2-style quartz field watch by Eddie Bauer on a 1960s olive strap.

    Been wanting one of this style but don't want to pay for a Hamilton. This'll do fine and it's about the right size (36mm or so). A khaki cotton strap would be a precise match but not gonna be anal about it.

    A classic. Where did you find it? I was fortunate to pick up a similar style awhile back. These old Seiko 5's are some of my favorites.

    Been on the lookout for this slim simple Skagen for over 10 years. It will replace several. Leather band was shot so a seatbelt NATO will do for now.
