Find myself mostly wearing more daily beaters since moving over here.
This one is an oldie but goodie AMW-320R which is a later version of the Casio "Arnie" which has a push button on either side. Love the colour of the yellow/gold dial in the sun.

Was sorting out my home office, going through some boxes of paperwork, and I found my old watch I wore in college. Still in decent nick for many years in a box.

That spb079 is a beautiful watch.
It is a stunning watch.
Few variations for it SBDC061(bracelet, black bezel), SBDC063(rubber, blue bezel) Japanese and the SPB0779 (bracelet, black bezel), SPB079 (rubber, blue bezel) for the international market. Prefer the blue bezel myself.
Some good pics here.

If I got rid of my Seamaster for an Explorer (as my only watch), I'd say I'd be gasping for a blue faced quality diver soon enough. That Seiko on rubber would fit the bill nicely. I think I've gone through most of their blue faced auto divers at this stage, except of course the SBBN037 which is still high on the list!
If you are selling your Seamaster please give me refusal

Just read this on a watch forum. Someone describing the Explorer 214270:If you want a Rolex but want others to think you are wearing a Timex, this watch is for you.
I guess it's the watch for me so My ads on adverts.ie

This is gaining more and more time on my wrist lately.
It's converting me to weird shapes and it's a GMT!
I don't know why, probably years of doing US timed tasks
but a GMT is by far my favourite complication.
Come the arrival of my V3 Bund Homage this week it may well be relegated soon tho.
Wonder when UL are going to take down their panto advertising?!

Picked up this accutron 218, a birth year watch and an accutron were on my list, I managed to get both in this. Its also a dress watch which I don't have too many off, another simple three hander. I can't get over the hum, I put it on an oscilloscope just to visualize it,359.94 hertz.
Anyway the plan now is to send to a chap called Rob Berkavicius , an aussie in thailand who services accutrons. Wibbs had posted here about a guy in Bulgaria who does service and sales. Watch seems ok, lume on the hands is defunct and there is some staining on the dial, water ingress maybe. Its running slow, 30 Secs per day.
The watch also came with a service receipt from Croydon watch centre, £58 in 1992, added to the bottom is a handwritten note that the watch is a collectors item.
Any recommendations on a decent leather strap, black or brown, ostrich or aligator maybe, I think its 18 mm.

I do love a hummer.
I used to recommend https://electric-watches.co.uk/service-and-repair/ but sadly it seems he's stopped servicing most electric movements and now only doing the ESA 9162/64 hummers as fitted to Omega, Longines et al these days. Real pity as I have a LIP Nautic in need of a service. 
Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

That's not a bad idea.
I've had this for quite a while...
Goes well with one of these, which I inadvertently picked up at the same time:
