Good Afternoon…. This is the watch that started my interest in vintage watches..
I bought it whilst on holiday in Sarasota at a flee market by the St Armada circle…
Nearly 30 years ago now times flys for sure no pun intended…
My first license plate - 1988. Back with the little Sky-Rocket after a few days of standing outside in heavy rain with the Seiko. That plate was attached to a 1979 Dodge Diplomat! No Aston Martin…

I get the feeling I’ve seen the Skyrocket before! 😉
I have a watch buddy at the place I get my coffee in the AM before work. I complimented his watch (invicta) several months ago and now I find he has 30 or so invictas. So the regular thing has become, get coffee, one minute of watch talk and wish each other a good day. Most of the time he politely says “cool” if I’m wearing an old omega or seiko but darn he saw this quartz tag and flipped. I had to write down all the numbers for him as all I know it’s an aqua racer I got used but he refuses to buy used (I tried to tell him tags don’t hold value well and they are pretty east to pick up cheap) then I shut my mouth because if to him this is “the watch” who am I too judge. I’m wearing it as we have been getting a lot of flash flood warnings and these monsoon like storms that come out of nowhere the past few days

My Rolex Royalite Observatory (chronometer, circa mid 1940s) sends salutations. Adjusted to 6 positions, temperature, isochronism, Oyster case, manually wound. About the same vintage as your Skyrocket.
