My Casio Solar Atomic was been flawless for many years. The metal strap is held to the semi-metal case with some plastic links. These are the things that fail. As I expect they are designed to.
They are very nonstandard. I’ve cobbled them together a few times now. Going to fail for the last go round soon. Don’t remember what it cost, but it has been well worth it.
Never need to touch it, no battery, and the time is always correct.
A friends’ wife, many – many years ago. Was an oiler for Timex. Her station had some sort of magic dingus that dispensed a micro drop of lube when touched to the bearing.
They were expected to oil so XX many watches in a shift. Don’t remember what he told me.
There was bonus money for lubing beyond that number.
He told me his wife was one of the fastest lube(rs).
He also said that when a Timex came in for repair under the warranty, they would just chuck out the movement and put a new one in the case. Not worth anybodies time to fix it.
Here’s a question for y’all.
Do you take your watch off at night?
I often don’t. The Casio has a light up face that is bright enough to see with – with full dark adjusted eyes.
Who needs firefly mode on a flashlight when it’s built into your watch?
All the Best,
Jeff
PS.
Speaking of tail lights…
I once had a 73 Detomaso Pantera way back when. The tail lights were off a Maserati Bora. You did not want to brake one. The side running light were off a Mustang. Free with a happy meal at Autozone.
Yes it’s almost unbelievable that it’s real, but it is - though this one may be starting to get a little dried out. Pretty well anything that lives at great depths is weird, I suppose they have to specialise in a way of feeding to the point the rest of the body is kinda left behind. Eyes are useless at those depths, though some still see and hunt with light - fascinating down there, and I bet we haven’t seen much of it yet.
Never heard about sea pig, strange creature. And what’s inside?
Goblin shark - not ageing with class like a wine, that’s for sure Or is that just unicorn who do the drugs?
Barreleye Fish is definitely weird, with nostrils looking like eyes, eyes looking like marble balls.
And with the rest looking like content of average politician’s head
