That's quite a macro shot! As always, your watch looks new and different every day.
Another day of mandatory telework with a Vostok KGB Amphibia
"262 kHz." That indicates a Precisionist movement, no? Really, really handsome chrony.I just can't take off the Apollo 15 moonwatch ...

The only watch I own but I am thinking of getting another.
Yes to both! Eight seconds a year accuracy is what they claim.
At under $300, the only affordable moon watch.
There are date and no-date versions, if you're looking.

But Mike... your photo tells me you just did. Am I going crazy?
Hairsplitter!
Obviously ... I meant ... the other watches are getting no wrist-time.
Seriously, a chrony is of no use unless you time A/C or fast cars. They were popular with wanna-bes (me!).
But the countdown HAND is super-useful as a mnemonic: set it as a 24-hour reminder. I'm finding it very useful that way - kind of a visual alarm.
Wish I had the "real" moonwatch, the Omega. But *so* spendy!

Here is my Stowa Antea KS.
I´ve got slender (if not tiny) wrists.
Because of relative long lugs and thin bezel, this watch wears large for its size.
Does it look proportionate on me?
May be it´s just me but I find it a bit large on my wrists.

You wear yours fine. Your Casio has a small "hour marker circle" relative to the case size. That makes balanced proportions.
Which model is it? Pretty cool.
Ha! It was brand new at a Goodwill store near my town. I bought it about 8 or 10 years ago for the Princely sum of $5 American!
I'm so lazy I only wear it in the summer so I don't have to change the time twice a year for daylight savings! For about 3 or 4 years it hasn't been changed, and it's about a minute slow.
The model number on the back is: 2790 in a box, and to the right of that is: LCF-30

Cool. 
I love Casios! I use this one as a clock to wake up each morning:
(and I wear it at the office as its unpretentious)

Thank you. It is, and it is a hand wound hackable movement that keeps excellent time.

My sentiments exactly. Perhaps Timex watches can't be repaired, but with luck you'll get a good one that just keeps running.
