Found my old Seiko I bought on my first trip here in 2003! Seiko 7T92 chronograph "Hong Kong Limited Edition" number 53 out of 1000. I didn't wear this for very long, as I also bought a G-Shock on that trip and it was my main watch until it was replaced with another G-Shock, then another.

I just replaced the battery thinking maybe I could use the chrono for cooking, coffee, etc. But as you can see, for some reason they made the 1/20 seconds the most legible subdial, while the minutes subdial (shared with hours) has an index that is barely legible. So it's utterly useless as a chronograph unfortunately.

I realize now how small this thing is when I wear it. Can't tell with a wrist shot of course, but looking down, it looks like I'm wearing a women's watch

Speaking of which, I also found the Movado I bought for my wife in the late 90's... it doesn't get much more 90's than this! But actually I think it looks pretty nice even today, so I replaced the battery in it as well.
