      Nope, the winder fell off.  It is in a sealed plastic bag in the safe with the rest of the watch waiting for me to save up enough to get it fixed….

        I just found this:

        Think I have to get it. It is manual though… don't know if I'll remember winding.

        Seize the day and don't you cry.

          You'll get used to it surprisingly quickly.  My usual watch is a manual wind, and it's just part of the routine to wind it before putting it on in the morning.  I think I've only forgotten to wind it once.

          I'm ambivalent in how much sympathy to feel for you, Giles.  Yes, it sucks to break the Patek, but a JLC is one hell of a backup.  I think I could live with that one as a daily wearer.

                  here is the link to the watch, & they have  a few of them.  i just wanted a blue faced watch that wasn't too expensive & i wouldn't mind if i destroyed it (which i tend to do)

                  http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK807K2-Automatic-Cloth-Weave/dp/B000HGDWXE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1317059479&sr=8-3

                  it's really nice & a hell of a bang for the buck.  i'll try to take a few more pictures tonight.  really thinking about getting a beige face as well so i can switch them out.  got a cheapo deployment deployant buckle & a few other straps to switch out to keep me entertained  for a little bit  😠

                  corrected per G$

                              any recommendations for a watch in the range of 200-300? (preferably not seiko though…)

                              old watch strap looking like shit now, need an excuse for a new watch and not a strap...  😃

                                I'd go for one of these (well I did and loved it).  Yeah, I know it really is a Seiko, but you can pretend it isn't…..
