On an airplane right now.
Someone else [edit - cobrajet25 ] in this thread got one of these (H711) a few weeks ago, and I was intrigued, so when it popped up, I grabbed it. This one isn't as nice as the earlier one, with some scratches on it. Unfortunately the crystal on these can't easily be replaced, so I'll have to live with those scratches. It will be my only quartz watch, so I'm curious what I think of it once it's on my wrist.
Mine is in the mail as well. Please give me your thoughts when yours arrives! I have one of those. Not super legible. More of a novelty watch, the "floating" digi display is cool. Rob

Thanks to camrok for the tip-off, I have a very well priced Annie on the way. All I need to do now is find a decent AM(?) shroud.

I didn't notice that one of the screws was missing.

Been working on this one for a month and finally finances happened (enough cash so momma doesn’t see). The seller was busy with things on his end too and finally time worked out on both ends. This cool turtle is on its way home to me. BNIB (opened)

7c46-7011 sbbn007. Auction just closed for yours truly for 39500jpy/~360usd/ ~305eur. Slight wear on the crystal and such but easily replaceable if needed. If everything inside works I think thats a bargain. Very happy. Nice pick up! My favorite tuna 🙂.

Early 31-7000, pre-quartz. Hoping it works, just adore the design, and high nerd factor.

Woke up this am and scanned the old “garage sale” app and saw a really crappy picture posted. -this. So, instead of passing on it because it didn’t look like anything. I clicked on it to see what it was about. VERY shortly after seeing this next picture, I bought immediately without asking any questions. It’s now on its way to me for some TLC, gaskets and wrist time!! Well, win some, lose some. Genuine article, bad case/crown tube, bad crown. Bad crystal, bad bezel and insert. Good insides though. Guess I got a project now.

6119-6023 (seller's picture). I decided to risk this one because the dial and hands look very promising to me under that beat up crystal. We'll see... If anyone can give me a tip on sourcing a crystal (original or not) I would really appreciate it...seems it might not be easy to find.

The XY320.214 might be a better profile but I didn’t pick one up to try.
