A local watchmaker pulled this out from under the desk today. Quite cool in an 80s sort of way. No, I didn't buy it.  |

I used to have 3 solar tunas, now it's down to my favorite classic, the crop circle, and the solar beater...i'll swim with either of them. Does anyone think i'm nuts for taking the crop circle into the water? It's from 2001....  |

I think you're nuts for other reasons though  |

This 7005-7130, looks black but it really has a nice matte dark blue dial. It's on my right wrist, that means that I'm testing it after a service.  |

A very basic Sanyo from October 1983 (if I assume the same serial number convention as Seiko). They changed their corporate logo in 1987 so I'll settle for "pre-1987" as a back up. Thankfully uses a conventional watch battery. The really early Sanyo's took the oblong shaped "pill" batteries that are no longer made. Time and date only. Not even a light. Drilled lugs on the case however.  |
