    That's a quartz movement correct?

    4 months in, wearing daily, I still don't have a bad word to say about this. A steal for the $$.

    Just FYI, I had some "issues" with CountyComm customer service. Just absolutely terrible, down to many ignored emails and paypal dispute. It's a great deal for sure as long as your order goes smoothly, but there's other good value automatics out there too.

    sorry to hear that. hope it worked out in the end.

    i haven't seen that many other 'value' automatics in the same price range other than seikos; any favorites you could share?

    They've become increasingly hard to find but if you stumble across the one on the right you should be able to easily pick it up for less than $300. It's a SandY (Stocker & Yale) 490 which has an ETA 2801 manual wind movement. I've owned a number of high end watches over the years and this cheap mil-issue was the most accurate of the lot. The only downside is that it's around 37mm across. The one on the left is a SandY 590 which is quartz.

    Gave Mom the military style Seiko 5 for Christmas last. She's still loving it.

    I still wear the orange one this month and the pepsi next month (seiko divers). letting them wind down for longer service live eh.

    kinda dig the yellow face, but then ... ... ... effing never ever see a used auto 'round here in pawn shops or antique malls, i've been looking for years.

    i have to stop now. bubye.

    Yeah it's turning out to be quite the ordeal.

    He's sending a new insert though. And I am really stoked to have #96/100!!

    A friend of mine has an Orient Mako with the yellow face...solid piece, and at ~$200 USD is on my list.

    I really like my Bathys. It's a bargain even at three times the price of the Mako.
