Great watch Earl!
I wish I had the watch that started me out on watches...It was a Seiko Dive watch.
Do you still have the Tudor?

Here are the ones that started me. First was the one on the left - a 1983 TT DJ with leather strap. Then came the one on the right - a 1991 TTDJ w/ jubilee bracelet. Can you tell I like Romans. From there it's been downhill (or uphill, depending on your point of view. (I've got better pics at home. I'll post them next week after I get back from Florida.)

You mean like the one on the left? Bloody good thing, they are - took me 17 years to replace it, and then it took and SD to do the job!

... the only regret I have ever had with a watch. I let one go for a great profit a few years ago, got another one but it was not the same so I sold it. I love that watch pal!!
