#wotd Fossil Arkitekt, circa 2002. Has a Swiss Ronda quartz movement, and a very nice large display where I don’t have to wear my glasses to read! 🤣 Wish I still had the Fossil Big-Tics but that’s alright.

#wotd Casio DW-5200 G-Shock. Dad bought new in 1985. This is the Mk II that put the G-Shock on the map. The lineup still features this case design, with EL and atomic functionality…this one features a still working filament backlight and impeccable timekeeping 40 years later

Easy way to check is I think the club issues did not have embossed covers. But if you run the dead wax matrix numbers in Discogs that’s a great way to find out. Here’s my OG and Club issue and the original sleeve. Hard to see in the photo but one on left is embossed the one on right is flat

#wotd Timex Expedition. Dad got this 20 yeas ago, haven’t worn it since last DST clock roll back and only gained 20 second in over 6 months! Not bad. Digital and analog displays still synced and Indiglo works great. Solid reliable Timex!
