Thread: New member in New England

    Hello, it's good to be here.
    My modest collection is eclectic. I have a few automatics but I lean towards quartz. What can I say, I like accuracy in a watch. I wear a couple that I've inherited and a couple that were gifts. I've bought a few myself, and a couple came from thrift shops and tag sales.

    I'm currently pretty much in love with the relatively new Bulova 262 kHz quartz movement, with two Accutron II watches in my rotation. A black Snorkel and a blue dial Surveyor. I put the Surveyor on a black leather strap; the bright blue one that was original with the watch is too bright for my taste. Below is the blue Surveyor.

    I also like dive watches for their clear displays. I have one "real" dive watch, a Seiko solar quartz.

    WELCOME! In the pic it's such a dark blue that it makes it look black.

    Not very old at all. It's a model 96B212, first sold on Amazon June 18, 2014. I received it yesterday so for me, it's new.

    To my eyes, the photo made it look darker than it is in life. It's a sunburst type dial so different parts have different shades, but overall it's not quite that dark.
