I am a happy camper. After rummaging around last night, I found an old friend, my everyday watch for several years but not seen for about 12 years. . . a Casio ana-digi. I thought it was lost! I put a new battery in and here it is. . .

Congratulations on finding your long lost friend.
I'll bet you thought you sold it at a yard sale!!

I have one of those also. Was my first big (for then) dive watch and an experiment to see how I liked them. Mine is older though, I know I bought it pre 1990. They still sell them I believe.

I can't tell you how many cool Swatches and G Shocks I've lost to my mother thinking they were dead and throwing them away while I was at college.

I have to admit, my record of selling watches at garage sales is a little spotty. :lol:

That's a really cool watch.
Glad it's back on your arm!

Sweet!
I have a few watches like that.....
Lost in the woodwork I guess.

I saw that same watch today at Costco... or if not, it was almost the same.

Great story, and good for you.

Actually, Rusty's mrs. bought it new the other day and let him "stumble" across it. He's getting so ancient he fell for the oldest gag in the book!

I have had a couple of watches that like to hide in their original box and then put the box in the closet with all the empty boxes.

A clever ruse that has worked on more than one occasion!

That's really cool, Rusty! I had one just like it, back in my EMT days. Talk about a durable watch. I miss mine. Now I can relive the watch vicariously through you!

Here is one I'll share with you Jerry. See the gouge on the bezel between the one and two o'clock position? I happened when I was gesturing madly during a conversation with a colleague as we were walking and I accidentally hit a door knob. I thought for certain the crystal was toast.:biggrin:

Funny how we remember such stuff.
