Damn, damn. Casio just released its first automatic watch. Now I need another watch.

Those have the time tested NH-35A as a movement.

Those movements cost maybe $15-20 each in large quantities.

They’ll run ten or twenty or thirty or more years in constant service, more if worn occasionally.

In theory they can be serviced.

But the owner can replace a movement if he’s handy and has a ten dollar set of watch tools.

I retired July 3rd, 2002 and in celebrating Independence Day the next day took my watch placed it in a small box and put it in the back of my bureau drawer where it's been ever since.

I don’t miss wearing one at all as I’m now on my own time ! puffy

Just picked up this early Rotary Revelation Reverso. The original leather strap was in rough shape, so swapped it out for a nice chocolate brown suede strap with butterfly deployment buckle.

Very cool! I love a strap with a deployment buckle. Someone now is making NATO's with a deployment, I'm almost ready to pop for one.
