Casio EXP-10

The last watch arrived at home is a 90s Casio gadget-watch. It seems it will be the last watch before vacation, I will have to wait after vacation to see the Lorus that is on the way :(
The "new" Casio is an EXP-10, a Excercise Planner with a lot of functions I will never use :) The module is a 1183, you can download the instructions from the Casio web site by entering the module number or just following the link to Scribd.
The watch needs to be cleaned, polished and greased, I hope to have time during next two weeks.

Diving in Tarragona harbor

Last dive in Tarragona was not bad. The visibility is not our best friend in this area of the Mediterranean Sea as you can see on the first picture.
The dive was in the Tarragona harbor, the max. depth is around 20m but below 12m the visibility was awful so we did not dive below this depth.
The temperature was not high, around 22ยบ, lower than other years by these dates.
Is this picture the definition of fun-dive? ;)

Poseidon watch

New watch at home, and this time a really new watch, not a vintage as usually. It is a watch made for Poseidon, a very well known dive equipment brand.
The watch is not a dive watch, according to Poseidon web site it is the watch used by divers when not dive, at least I will not use it for dive, it is a 100m water resistant watch.
The watch is huge, 46mm of diameter (excluding crown), 26mm black silicon strap.
The movement is a standard Miyota quartz movement, simple and functional.

Casio W400 my 1st Marlin


Today a lot of "new" watches arrived at home. Let's start.
The first one is a Casio W400. A Marlin watch with resin case, screw down back and the well known 106 module (same as the classic H101).
The watch is in quite good condition, I don't know the age of the watch, but the production of this model started on the 1980!
To clean the watch I've opened the screw down back and removed the module.


 The "speaker" of the watch is not placed on the back as most of the Casio watches, it is at the front! See the 2 rectangular buzzers.

  Finally a picture of the nice screw down back.
