Aquastar Seatime 1000 diver from the 70’s. Quite different from most of my watches with the gold-plated case, but I’ve started to like it…

Certainly not a timekeeper but really good when it comes to weather forecasting 👍

1950s Benrus, anyone know the model name?

Post from last year i just came across.... I have seen one referred to as a Benrus 'Swordfish' by another owner. I have one myself.

And now for something completely different.

A 2000s era "Mister Chrono".
Bought it at the Time Square Swatch Boutique about 15 years ago...for the kids of course ...which they hardly wore. Recently found it in a box, changed the battery and voila!
I think it has the same movement as today's MoonSwatch, except without the date stripped out.
So I'm calling it a Pre MoonSwatch...and as such will attain tremendous value! 😁
Hey, it has a working bezel (not just decorative)...YaY

I showed my 60 year old (?) Tissot PR 516 yesterday, on its stainless steel Tissot marked bracelet which I mentioned is gawdawful difficult to handle, comfortable once on the wrist, but pinches when I’m trying to do it up. So today, I went to my stash looking for a suitable bracelet. I have about 40 FixoFlex type bracelets which I hate. I found the J B Champion bracelet with fold over clasp, so that is now on the watch. I know so many of you hate these bracelet ends, but the case is steel, and maybe I wear the watch for about a week each year. So it is what it is!

Indeed. It feels kind of like the end of school before Summer vacation, but the feeling is amplified 100X.

My last day as a working professional was 12/31/17.

Took until the pandemic to get a settled disposition and not be on edge after 35 years of being at the HUB of all activity.
