I gotta agree, I love watches too.

I kinda have a weak spot for them among other things that seem to congregate on the beach, Dive watches that is and while there not of the high priced Swiss variety for the most part, I collect Seiko and other Dive watches and really go head over heals for them.

One of my watch boxes:

Cheers,

Seriously, Jim, and that's only one of your watch boxes? Nice collection. Wolfy, I found a watch on the beach years ago. I Wasn't even metal detecting. Sitting on a log in the sand enjoying the ocean and people watching, I got out my sand scoop and started scooping around the log. Among other things, I scooped up a cheap Timex watch with plastice band. It was running. I took it home, cleaned it up and wore it to work for many years! Another time I was detecting with my ten-year-old granddaughter. Dug up a watch. It didn't have a band and wasn't running. I handed it to her and went on detecting. Soon she came over to me and said, "Grandpa, I got it running." Took it home, cleaned it up, put a new band on it and gave it to her for her next birthday! It still runs today!

Wolfy, good find. I could use another watch, the battery in my timex is about to run out.

Jim, I found a Texas Instruments Model # 403 LED watch. Remember those circa about 1974. It was about 4 inches down in the flower bed of an abandoned house. For curiosity I popped the back off of it and it looked dry and clean. Put a new battery in it and it was dead. On closer examination I could see tiny traces of oxide between the processor chip leads. Too bad. I found a guy that collects LED watches on the web and he was looking for a 403 processor for one of his watches.
