Hey guys, new here. I have a C023 in silver I picked up from the Navy Exchange in San Diego back in '87 when going through dive cert. Since then it's been around world with me- San Diego, Hurgada, Egypt, Dominica, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, Aruba... Great little watch.

Those were the bomb when they came out, I think mid or probably late 80's, and they wern't cheap.

Will do. Just dropped it off at a local jeweler that says they can still do battery, seals and pressure test. We'll see. Should have it back Wednesday afternoon.

Can't wait- I thought this thing was lost. I hadn't seen it since fall of 2010 and my wife was telling me to just buy a new one (Eco-Drive seems cool) but this one has sentimental value. Luckily I found it in a bag hanging on a chair in my family room.

Yes it has. And still going. I even flooded it once and it spent a week in a Tupperware container with some dessicant bags until it was dried out- that was 15 years ago and it still works great...
