I need more watches! As soon as they have one that can project a hologram of the death star I'm buyin' it!
Or a hologram of Princess Leia.
WOTD: The venerated Casio Duro.
Watch: $50.
Strap: $20.
IMO, the best value in the entire watch world. Amazing quality for the price.

This watch had to go out for warranty service, and it took months! I got it back yesterday. I missed it!

It's the Bulova Sea King. It's a 262 kHz quartz movement (vs the traditional 32 kHz). This makes for a very accurate watch that is typically less than +/- 10 seconds PER YEAR. It also features a smooth-sweep second hand (like an automatic watch) instead of the tick-tick of a traditional quartz.

It's a BEAST of a watch... at 49(w) x 55.5(L) x 14-mm and 154 grams. I think it's gorgeous! I like to call it the Sea Monster or Sea Beast.
It's also a "lume monster":

Bulova Lunar Pilot. Really neat watch. Replica of the prototype worn by Apollo 15 Mission Commander David Scott.
Commander Scott was wearing his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster when the watch suffered a spontaneous “major malfunction.” The crystal popped out during EVA #2 (extravehicular activity a.k.a., “moon walk”).
He asked permission from NASA to use his personal back-up watch for EVA #3. Roger that, Falcon. His back-up watch was a Bulova prototype that didn’t make the NASA cut (OMEGA won the contract). The prototype was gifted to him by Bulova.
