Bit of a 'barn find' this, has sat in a drawer unloved for almost 40 years, just stuck a new battery in it and it's ticking away merrily :)

pretty enough find that.
That's a nice piece. I'm still trying to find an Accurist diver's from the late 80s that looked a bit like a Tag. I had one but can't remember what happened to it. Lovely thing. Can't even find a photo of one.Quote:
