I got quite a shock this morning when I went to post a photo of this one. I had no photos, not a one. Scary! If I'd been asked yesterday, I would've said that every single watch I own was documented on my watch blog. But I'd have been mistaken, 'cause obviously this one slipped through the cracks. Oops! My goof!

It's 39mm, with an unbranded no-jewel movement.. about as basic as a watch gets, I reckon. Pity about the 'Quartz' on the dial, as it would otherwise be totally sterile (no Allan, I ain't countin' the indices on the bezel! Laughing!). It's been with me for approx. 2 years, a gift from an old e-mail friend in Sweden. The dial's a beautiful midnight blue, to which the photo above doesn't do justice. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the lume..

..which is astonishingly good for a watch of this one's price point. Well.. obviously I'm guessing at the price point. Wink, wink ... But if it were on the shelf at the local Wal-Mart, I guarantee it'd be priced under $10. Laughing! A fun watch nonetheless! Thumbs Up!
