Anyway, before I went upmarket, this was my watch:

It happily took anything life could throw at it - every scratch and
scar has a story behind it, and I've made a point to never have any
of them fixed up. Best of all, after 19 years it's still sitting on
my watch winder ticking merrily away and I still wear it on
occasion. The Seiko 6309 is easily the most reliable watch movement
I've ever come across.
BTW Laz, was the Blue Sub I posted the one you were talking
about?
