Selling my Casio ProTrek PRW3100, which I bought brand new at JC Penny back in 2017/2018. A great ABC watch that I wore mostly on vacations around the US and abroad – so worn, but still in excellent shape as it wasn’t a beater or a hiking/outdoors watch for me. All functions work; the time synch is extremely reliable; excellent backlight; holds charge well; and the STN display is phenomenal – the best viewing angle of any digital I’ve ever owned. No box/papers – just what you see.

$125…

I’m a little on the fence about letting this one go – I know I’ll never find another in this condition, but I think I’m a little over saturated on blue-dialed watches. The WAN2111 was originally launched in 2009; I bought this as NOS from a seller on Chrono24, and it still had the bracelet and clasp stickers in tact – I have not worn it since buying, other than sizing the bracelet and trying it on. Comes with a newer Tag box and generic/blank warranty card. The watch head and bracelet appear…

Selling my Tag Heuer 1500 Quartz Diver. This is a model/ref# 929.213G, which a year or two later they started calling the WD1210 in their updated reference scheme. This watch measures 37mm in diameter, but I'd say with the bracelet it wears on the larger side of that. Screw down crown, 60-click bezel (bezel is in incredible shape for its age - the inserts are normally pretty chewed up on these), and bracelet with divers extension.

The adjust button on the DW5600 is a pain to operate given how far recessed it is into the case. I’ve read that you can replace the recessed button with a regular pusher from a donor watch to get it to protrude out of the case further, but as I was sitting down to implement that solution, I came up with a simpler fix that I thought I’d share. The button/pusher presses in on a spring metal “finger”, bending it inward toward the center of a watch such that the cupped end touches an electrical…
