Thank you. This one was recently gifted to me by my brother.
The SKX models had a long run, and the 7S26A movement is a reliable workhorse.
I have a SKX009, which I had molded, and sometimes think I ought to put it back to standard (the Pepsi bezel really pops against the blue dial in original form)
I regret selling my SKX011J1 (Orange dial) It was a 'reduced' 38mm case, which was really nice to wear.

I'm seeing 20% discount on the Casio webstore with code: 041BLUELIGHT20

Might pick up an F-91W for a bit of fun.

Their offer looks attractive - until you see you can get the watch through Onbuy for £12.90 with free delivery ...

That will be the SK013. I think mine is on the jubilee bracelet - it deserves an outing.

Seiko 3003 with snowflake dial and battery hatch in caseback. (This formed part of the series of the very earliest true quartz watches. I have one earlier still (and the parts to rebuild it) - dearer than a Rolex in its day, despite its unprepossessing looks. I shall dig it out).

Strela column wheel manual winding chronograph.

Looking to pick up a Speedie at some point but having just spent 4 weeks off work due to injury I'll have to make do with the Soviet space watch for now. It's actually really nice for the price, I'm impressed.
