I've been beating myself up about this all day....

I had a Bulova Lunar pilot sitting in my cart all last night, debating with myself wheather to use the 40% coupon and extra 10% off deal from Kohl's.

Decided "Nah...." and went to bed.

Told Mrs.MoT about it this morning and said I would have given it to her to give to me as a Christmas gift.

Did you see the refurb Lunar Pilot deals posted by [mention]Derek80[/mention]? The silver one is gone, but the PVD is still available.

The silver one is the one I want. Out of all the Lunar Pilot reissues, that one is the closest to the watch David Scott used during Apollo 15.

My mother once bought an electrical bedroom clock which ran backwards (i.e., counterclockwise). I told her to keep it, but she brought it back to the store.

Seiko Watch Error . Condition is Pre-owned. The name on this watch is Seeko, I searched everywhere I couldn’t find a watch that says Seeko. I believe this is an error. So please if you know or find any Seeko watch please email and let me know. I will close the auction. If not I am selling this watch as error. Please see photo. Sold as is !!

So this should be worth more, right?! Like when I was little and baseball cards with misspellings and other errors were worth more. :idea: Now I know what happened to the "E" in Cal Ripken Jr's name.......it musta got swapped with the "I" from that Seiko. Better than his brother Billy's card I guess.....

I imagine it is fairly unusual for Citizen to warranty Seiko watches.

I ended up ordering this case. I'll let y'all know whether it's Celtic or French.
