..but a quartz diver which is, as far as I can tell, all original. The model number may (or may not) be #795, as that number is the only marking on the caseback. As mentioned earlier, the case appears identical to the ex-TakesALickin Slava Peace Watch, which now resides with Bro. Brad Click (aka Jinxed).

It's a nice size (40mm dia, 42mm across the lugs, 10.5mm thick, and uses 18mm straps) and wears very well. Thumbs up! The module is , and is unmarked save for "Made In China". Quite nicely finished, too, somewhat to my surprise. One middlin' unusual thing about the module..

..is that it is loud! And I mean loud!

Most quartz movements you can barely hear at all, right? Not the case with this thing! I was sitting in me Man Cave the other day, in the wee sma' hours when all is quiet, and became aware of a steady "Ting, ting, ting" sound, coming in exactly 1-second intervals. And yes, 'tis "Ting" and not "Tick". I am confused Obviously a watch.. and it wasn't too hard track down which one. Laughing It was sitting more than 4 feet away, yet I could hear it plain as day. Eek!

Anyone else have any experience with this watch and/or movement? I'm wondering if this is normal... In any case, I'm totally diggin' this one! WIS Honeymoon Smile

So I just grabbed the watch and Ye Olde UV Flashlight, ran to the bathroom, and.. Nope. Frowning No lume whatsoever on this watch. I am crying

Still, not a dealbreaker. Smile

I mean, when the watch is free, "dealbreaker" is pretty much impossible. Rolling on the floor laughing my a.. off
