Now that is a trip back in time! Real beaut!

I have one of those made by Timex from 1976 with the red LED push button function and red lens. I wonder if it still works.

Regard! Mark

Mark, I didn't think mine would work anymore. It's been laying in a drawer for 10 15 years. I put a battery in and it "lit up. I have long since lost the instructions, so I emailed Armitron for the instructions, and everything works as it once did. Alarm, light, date, the works!
Think I paid $15 for it in 1980.

Mine did a year ago, as I had a young electronics 'geek' go through it and resuscitate it and all functions worked perfectly, but it's so large, I couldn't find a band that fit it and just put it back in the drawer.

Guess I may have to revisit this old watch again and see if she lights up.

Regards! Mark

I guess I got lucky. The old battery was a little corroded. I cleaned it out and put the new battery in, and everything works.

Peter - movement is an automatic, based on the Ebel 300. new ca. 2007. Almost as good as the Helbros!

Tissot, bought new in February 2014. Movement is the ETA 2836-2, this one is in the wear often rotation.

Orient bambino is my dress watch.

Hi everyone! It's been many years since I've been on Chapter 185 site and truly miss y'all. So I decided to once again become active at Chapter 185. I discovered one of my threads I began way back when is still very active! Truly put a smile on my face. Hopefully I can put a smile on yours in showing you this fun and interesting wristwatch I wore yesterday after dusting off.

Thanks Dr. Debbie! Hopefully, I will be here more often!
