[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16915637, member: 131874"] And then there's this one, the exact opposite of all the super cool watches here: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1684439008554.png"]1794141[/ATTACH] It still works! It's a promo item that was made by Buler for Recaro back in the 1970's. I got it new from the local Recaro sales rep. It's super lightweight - it's all plastic - the case is fiberglass and the strap is reinforced plastic. Manual wind only. UPDATE: For years, I've believed it was Swatch, probably because that's what the Recaro rep said it was. Studying the back today, I found two things that were wrong in my initial post. First, the name "Buler" is on the strap. Otherwise, no indication of its provenance. The back of the watch itself says "Swiss Made" in big letters, but that's it. Second, the strap is actually removeable, but it's so tightly in place that it doesn't flex willingly. Also, since winding it yesterday morning, it looks like it's losing about 45 seconds a day. Not bad for an inexpensive watch that's 46 years old. [/QUOTE]
