Hi, Gang! Welcome to HUMPDAY this week!
To start off, this frequently used/rotated SEIKO GLOBEMASTER (?) quartz chronograph with a nicely bright blue dial. Picked it up from ____________ a number of years ago & don't regret the cost. Seikos are one of my fav brands, ever since I bought my first one at the Base Exchange @ Clark AB in the PI back in late 1967. (I still have it, has been refurbished and still wear it on occasion.) This chrono's easily lights up easily, thus making the dial more attractive. Sorry, no pics of this here. dave;

Hi, Gang!
Here is Friday's ride, which is a puzzle to me. I purchased this as a rep, yet when I pulled off the case back, the movement and battery were all marked as TISSOT -- something I know is NOT unusual among reps. So, not being an expert and having a search of the PRC 200s not too helpful, I treat this as a rep and would not post it as a gen on watch sites that don't allow reps. BUT, to me, not a big deal; I just like the watch. dave:

Hi, Group!
For Saturday, this lightly worn CARTIERE chronograph I wear every blue moon or so. Picked it up a number of years ago because I liked the roman numerials on the dial; plus, it had a clean, stylistic presentation I found attractive. For me, the time on the dial is very readable and, overall, the watch just looks so smart. Of course, it has a quartz movement to power it. dave;
AARRGGHH! In my haste, I copied THE WRONG WATCH!! The one I'm wearing is a chronograph!! O, well! As POOR RICHARD noted: "Haste makes waste."

Same situation with my aquaracer. Everything matches up with the genuine, even the movement. I figure some of these were either production overruns or a group of parts suppliers made additional runs beyond the factory orders and a third party assembled. Regardless, I very much like mine.Hi, Gang!
