Yes the phone has a 3 second exposure in the dark so it distorts a little bit as i'm only as steady as i once was.

There're 2 kinds of "beaters. " The kind that can take a beating and the kind that you don't care if they can or not! That's one tough beater.
I've had this watch for 10 plus years and it still puts out a very strong lume as do all my Luminox watches.
It's a shame i beat it up unintentionally of course.
I had this and lost my G-Shock so just started wearing it. The crystal has taken some serious impact retaining some nice scratches but i love it even so.

If they ever make a solar model, I'll be on their bandwagon. Same with Bertucci.

The Seiko kinetic is a toughy.
It went through day after day of rough treatment for a few years until....
The Citizen eco drive was volun-told to take over.
IIRC the Kinetic produced electricity via a mini "generator" which used an iron bead sliding over copper wire on a tiny shaft when you moved your hand. Sort of the ancestor to the current "spring drive." (Sort of.) I suspect that the Eco is more efficient, but I love the innovation of Seiko. They even grow their own crystals for their quartz movements.
Hamilton, being known as the "movie watch company," has probably been unknowingly seen by millions who think Daniel Wellington is a great watch. For no reason at all I'm wearing the "Men In Black II" Ventura Chrono. It would go perfectly with my black suit (if I ever wore a suit.)
Now! If I can have everyone's attention, please! What you just saw was swamp gas reflecting off the planet Venus! Now just look into this little spot right here and have a wonderful day!
Yeah, you either get it, or you don't!

The world's first electric watch.
That watch became famous when Elvis Pressley wore one.

Hamilton Ventura and Elvis: A Comprehensive Guide and History
One of the most enduring associations between a world-famous star and a legendary timepiece is the one between Elvis Presley and the world's first electric watch, the Hamilton Ventura. A bold horological gamble when it debuted in 1957, the Ventura is now a mainstay of Hamilton's sprawling...

Having a difficult time getting a decent image, so scratched. The Caravelle Bulova I installed on a dog collar many years ago. Thinking I was a teenager when these were purchased? Coming on 50 years for the Seiko?
Any info from the experts here is appreciated. Total understanding if nothing of note. These had to be the lower echelon.

Those pre-date my hands-on experience, I must confess. (My being but a wee lad of 56.) Is that a trick of the camera or is there a sunburst dial on that Seiko?
The Seiko is a Lord Matic. Nice watch. Automatic, right? Shake it to wind it type.
I had one as a teen.
Can't see the Bulova well enough to get an idea which model it is.

Not sure what a sunburst dial is, but it is nice?
Sunburst is like the green watch in post 2490 where it looks like fine lines radiating from the center of the dial. It produces a very nice effect when bright light hits it.
Edit: And with just the click of a mouse button, I've been promoted to "Enlightened." Strange, I don't feel any different.

You have a side by side photo of these two watches sir?
Me?
No I do not.
But then again....
I retired the Seiko when the battery quit so I had to remember where it was stashed.

🤣 As always, Mr. bykfixer comes through. That Seiko is a cool looking watch. Thanks for the effort brother!
For you, anytime my brutha from anotha mutha.
I bought it because it looked like the LM Kitro showed. I still hope to find another one someday.
An old Gruen automatic arrived today
Post '58 Precision model but seems to be early 60's after the Gruen family sold the busines in '58.
580 SS (sweeping second hand). I've yet to find details about that Swiss movement.
Stock Speidel stretch band almost looks custom.
Keeps time spot on.
