I was cleaning one of my desks, when I found this.
While back, I went to Chinatown. Of course, the home of many reps! I was looking for the Bond Seamaster back then. But I found this. A Ceramic Japanese rep of a Seamaster.

I saw it and I knew I had to have it. Midsize we can say. Quartz Miyota Movement. Rotating bezel, accurate ticking (the seconds hand always mark on the minute mark perfectly aligned), and a nice feel at the wrist. Only bad thing is that the caseback is stamped "Speedmaster" and it has the Speedmaster logo.

I thought I lost it like 3 years ago. I found it, opened it up, and went and bought a new battery. It works like a charm. Gave it a little clean and here she is!
