    Thanks! Yeah, they don't seem to be very well known. Check them out - they have some very cool motorsport-inspired designs. I really like the style.

    As I mention in the ad, I fell in love with the design of mine on-line and had to buy it!

    Ha!
    Not many. Any mine not only works but the original magnet that you need to set the time is still under the clasp.
    They made a few versions. Mine is from 1973. Pulsar was the first electronic digital watch.
    They called it a Time Computer!

    Fun facts:
    Back when it launched, it was priced higher than the Rolex Sub. About $400.
    James Bond wore one in Live and Let Die ...just before he put on his Sub!
    Johnny Carson demoed one on the Tonight Show.
    Pulsar brand is now owned by Seiko and they relaunched a version of the Pulsar last year. Looks the same as my old one.

    When i first saw your pic, it stuck with me that I've seen it before, but couldn't place. 007! Makes it even cooler.

    Nice looking design, piqued my interest and will look into. IMO, doesn't look too big on you.

    Thanks. Definitely check them out. As for the size, I've gone back and forth on it. The photo is a little deceiving; watch wears pretty large for a 42mm. I have a few other 42s that are totally fine. I think it's a combination of the thickness, large lug-to-lug, and the fact that the dial extends nearly the full width of the case....

    This is one of those "Small World" posts. I played golf a couple of times with John Bergey of Hamilton Watch, widely credited with the Pulsar Watch discovery. I belonged to a country club in Harrisburg and John was a member of Lancaster CC. I did not know him and he was kind of a modest but goofy guy. It was about half way through a round that his partner told me "That's the guy who invented the Pulsar Watch." Back then the Company I worked for had an arrangement with Hamilton to provide the gifts for our 25 year employee service awards. I met John again when I got a tour of the Hamilton factory in Lancaster. This was around the time I think they were moving production to Switzerland. Late 70's early 80's? Guess someone on here will know.

    Thanks Pap.

    Hope you are well.

    I consider watch addiction less of a collect and more of a random assortment!
