Eric,

Watches .... they're a terrible addiction :)))

Cunning little devils, those Swiss watchmakers LOL

Good point Eric,

Been practising reading time off the sun, get within an hour, sometimes less than 30 mins.

Yep, the $50.00 special was a thought.

$50 bit exe for me. I paid $10 and it does the job.

I actually only bought it for refereeing soccer. Most of the time it lives in the bag.

Like Gramps said clocks all over the place, time on the phone who needs it.

I used to where a watch all the time until a couple of years ago. We had been running a childrens camp and needed to make sure everything was on time, particularly for meals so a watch was essential.

When the camp finished we headed off down the coast for a week of lying in the sun to recover. Got to the site, made camp and sat down for a cuppa. When I looked at my watch I noticed it had stopped so I put it aside thinking I am on hols I'll get a now battery when I get home. Never did get around to it.

Duncs

I got 2 wqtches from "Hungry Jacks" with hamburgers 20 years ago,put new batteries in them a couple of months ago and just had a look and they are still going could sell you one if u want hahahahaLOL

Thanks, heard about them, will havea better look.

Gotta 2nd the motion.
Night time with a little light, lights up really well.
Water Resistant to 200 metres if you can hold your breath that long.

I got 2 mates in the service they both have the 6500's, they are bloody amazing at night, I can stick my Seiko next to a spot light to charge up the glowy things and the Bloody Traser is still brighter than it LOL

The chit that makes it Glow is the same stuff used in mortar sights or something like that.

I have a small collection of Swiss manual and automatics and I love them.
Anything swiss made was quality.I have an old Felicia military style and even though its 30+ years old it still accurate to within a minute a month
Sure you can get a cheap Seiko to do much better but I like the idea of a small piece of machinery ticking away on my arm.

You can get top quality German made watches on Ebay with high grade Swiss movements for under $200 ,self winding or manual.
