Default Just bought one of these (Watch thing)

A classic from the late 70s. "New-Old Stock" and perfect working order. What do you think? Retro-cool or retro-crap?




It's a Pulsar Sport 3502-2. The last of the Pulsar LED watches before they went out of business in the late 70s.

A mate and I were talking about this exact thing at work only this week. The red digits are cool - especially when they disappear and someone tries to tell the time from your watch.... 'its broken'.....'er - no it aint'
