My wife gave me a Seiko Day and Date with real numbers on the dial 30 years ago. Last year the Day/Date setting failed but the watch stilll kept great time. I had Seiko replace the whole movement for $140. The wife thought I was crazy but it'll last me the rest of my lifetime!
Thanks for your reply. Good idea sending to Seiko - hadn't thought of that.

I didn't get the Seiko, I ended up with the techy Acutron. Still have it though the hands are loose and needs repair. Also have a Petri FT that followed me home and all over the world as the Army dictated.

That Acutron was, and is, a biggie, and I remember the Perri as well. Looks like, frim your handle, you were up-country, abd was a year or so after me. I was based at TSN but travelled all over, including Thailand. Tks for visiting.
