    I have done a half marathon before. I did 8.5 recently, but it was really hilly (1500ft of elevation gain). So I am pretty confident I can do a half this summer. K am also contemplating a 25k for my 25 year High School graduation anniversary. I did a 20k for 20 years.

    It's OmegaForums fault.

    The alternate 505.
    IMG_6993.jpg
    This was an early (1999) Ebay purchase from a Paraguayan seller and was a "deal" at the time. Serviced, I wore it happily for several years, blithely ignorant of the fact of redials. Later I came to suspect. Shrugged and continued to wear it: to the office, on our travels, designating it most regular daily wearer.

    Then I joined OmegaForums. Since that time it's mostly hidden in shame from the camera and I don't wear it so often. Shame as it's a good accurate Constellation. Still, I had it serviced again more recently.

    Don't really know what to do with it. Have considered redialing the redial to something that closer resembles an original, but haven't gotten around to it.

    Dude...this is fantabulous to see...I’m glad you found your Mattel Electronics machines and have been dorking with them! :thumbsup:

    Also...from what I’ve observed over the past 40+ years regarding my Mattel Electronics Auto Race machine...26 is the fastest time I’ve ever been able to achieve...both BEFORE adjusting the pot as well as AFTER adjusting the pot [clockwise to the stop] recently. My intended goal regarding adjusting the pot [clockwise to the stop] was to achieve faster than a 26. I was only able to achieve the same 26 following adjusting the pot...the speed progression of the brighter blip “up” the screen did NOT change...but the speed progression of the dimmer traffic blips “down” the screen significantly increased [therefore increasing difficulty] and the audio speed increased. Also worth noting is that most of the time if I have 0 crashes over the course of the 4 laps [in 4th gear the entire time], I’ll get a 27 or 28...rarely will I achieve a 26. I wonder if changing lanes a ton slows down the progression of the brighter blip “up” the screen?

    Anyway...how many bytes does that thing have? Like 512 bytes or something?

    Okay, to some of us on OF it’s an anomaly but, to the other 99.99% of watch wearers it’s not only a nice looking watch, it’s a nice looking Omega watch!

    Wear the socks off it :cool:

    Dang it, @Lou P! :mad:

    I just spent the last 1.5 hours trying to get a 26 on my Mattel Electronics Auto Race...no joy...I was able to get several 27s and 28s...but no 26s. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this. Last time I got a 26 was on 17MAY20 after I set the POT back to the factory setting. The reason I set the POT back to the factory setting was that my pilot buddy from American Airlines was complaining that it wasn’t fair that he had to compete on the fast setting with minimal practice on the slower factory setting...so he requested that I return it to the slower factory setting.

    Anyway...pic below of the first out of several 27s I achieved tonight...and for the record, I’m wearing my mechanical bike computer from earlier in the day...

    Raining today, so this it is. Sent a note to Sinn customer service about the bezel and how to obtain one, around 10 days ago with no response as yet. Guess we need to be patient with the dreaded COVID still interrupting things.
