Bulova 96c35 "The Honeymooner"
"The Honeymooner"
When I got married on December 28th, 2008, I purchased this Bulova 96c35 on my Honeymoon in Clearwater/Tampa, Florida. One of the first nicer watches I purchased up to that point.
This one is a quartz movement that features a retrograde day of the week. The date of the month and 24 hour clock are presented on subdials.
I later had the caseback engraved with "Chad & Sandy 12.28.08"
It's a piece that I rarely wear because it's a bit small for my curent tastes (38mm) and it's a quartz movement. I really only want to collect mechanicals going forward, but, this piece will always be in my collection and hold a special place in my heart.

Stuhrling Original Manchester Ozzie
My Stuhrling Original, Manchester Ozzie. Mechanical automatic movement with day/date complications.
It took two different kinds of Skittles to match the colors on the dial; regular and wild berry.
Citizen Eco Drive Calibre 3100 Big Date
My Citizen Eco Drive Calibre 3100.
Eco Drives have solar powered quartz movements. This particular model features a perpetual, big date calendar that never needs reset.
The case diameter is only 42mm, which is on the smaller side these days for a guy. So, this hasn't gotten much wrist time on me lately, but, it's still a great piece to have in my collection.
