Not many Arcade Games match the watch in terms of production dates. Took the opportunity a d failed miserably (obviously due to the distraction of watch shot)  |

Testing this one which is my first proper Franken. It is a 6106-7670 from 1973. Unfortunately it is impossible to find a crystal for it. So I put it in a 6106-7570 case of 1972 which originally contained a yellow Advan with rotten movement and a dial that had lost all the chrome plating of the indices. The 16mm strap is hideous, but I don't have a bracelet that fits. The hands have been badly relumed at some point, but I like the dial. Not sure about the whole thing, but that is what I am wearing today...  |

Believe it or not, this actually isn't the 7A38-7080 I wore a week or so ago (WRUW 9/30). No, I bought another one for no other reason than it was relatively cheap.
This one is a little bit scruffier than the other one, but still pretty nice. Watch was absolutely FILTHY when I got it, but the movement is spotless and it functions perfectly. I swear this watch was purchased in the mid-'80s, worn for ten years, and not cleaned ONCE. Had a new Renata battery in it...I call Renatas 'acid dispensers'...that was immediately sh!t-canned and replaced with an Energizer.
Hey, it is a 7A38. Can you really have too many??  First pic is the new one, second pic is the other one. I'd call the one I already had "the old one", but it was made in '85. The one I just got was made in '84!

Ready as I'll ever be for the long weekend. Thanksgiving will definitely be a much more muted affair this year but we still have plenty to be grateful for!  |
