A decent quartz analog. One that won't run down on the days I feel too lousy to wear one.

 Casio has a lot of affordable analogs, that keeps time well. The Edifice ones looks classy.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I've always wanted to try a Vic watch. They seem to be pretty good quality but I'm currently set with my Casio.

What...  :o  :o yeah, that really sucks, Robert. Sorry about this!

You got a great bargain with the new watch.

But it sucks nevertheless. Not just due to the money, but the time period it followed.

This is what happens when you buy low quality watches.  37 years later they just break to no reason.....

My Wenger is my "go to" watch these days. 

Looks like you bagged yourself a real bargain there SAKguy, though I do hope your Sub doesn't cost as much as you think to repair. :salute:

Especially for only $64.  I'd have paid twice that and still been proud of it.  That is a serious score you got there.

Thanks guys!!!!  Really happy with it. This is my first battery watch in 37+ years and I can't find what battery it uses anywhere on the net or how long they last or how to change it out.

I am unworthy.....
