What watch do you wear?

Citizen Eco-drive as well. I just chipped the face somehow and have to figure out who can replace it, because since I bought mine the price has jumped up close to a hundred bucks.

Check for watchmakers in the largest urban center near you. Ideally a watchmaker on an upper floor of a watchmaker/watch dealer building downtown. Watchmakers/watch dealers on street level charge more because they pay more rent. After that, a jeweler/watch dealer who does watch repair. Watchmakers typically give the best price for simple repairs and adjustments on spec. You might come back with your dad's vintage Rolex for cleaning, lubrication, regulation, pressure testing, etc.

I had it custom built by the manufacturer, the original design was a S&W product but the busy dial really bugged me...since I was already going with a custom dial adding my name was no problem.

Casio Lineage today. My first radio sync watch and I think I'm hooked on this feature. It's like a cell phone. The time and date are always accurate. The watch takes care of itself so I don't have to do anything. Solar powered. Power reserve display. Power saving mode. Backlight for when I need it. Sapphire crystal. Thin and lightweight.

I thought the radio sync might be a hassle because I've read that many people have to put the watch in a window overnight to receive the signal. Knowing that, I had planned on not worrying about the radio sync. If it synced then fine. If it didn't, that's fine too because the watch can be manually set also. As it turns out, the watch has synced every night regardless of where I place it in my house. I just lay it wherever I want to lay it and it always syncs overnight. I didn't expect that because I'm about 900 miles from the Atomic Clock but I'm very pleased with those results.
