What was your very first LED watch and when did you find it?

I thought it would be fun to tell what our first LED watch was (name and model) and how or when did you aquire it?

Mine was a Texas Instruments Star Wars model my parents bought me in 1978! I wore that little bugger ragged and loved it to death.
Here is pic of the version I had, the original is long gone:

Bulova driver's watch, taken in trade against the bill of an antiques dealer I was working for. He had asked me to take a hand at fixing some of his digitals a while before that and I decided to get one for me and my then fiancee (current missus). She got a stainless Pulsar Ladies Touch Command - her first LED watch..

The Bulova was(due to my lack of knowledge regarding the market at the time) probably the worst deal I ever made. Paid like $600 for it 8.5 years ago - standard two button, gold-tone with the "waffle top".

An Exelar, just like this:

I was 7 or 8 at the time. It "broke" very quickly, and I gave it to my Dad to fix. Needless to say, I never saw it again !
In hindsight, I think the batteries had just run down

I also paid too much for it, at the time I was new to eBay and got carried away with the bidding.

Mine was a Silver tone Gillette Reflex 305. I was 14 years old and I saved my lawn mowing money for months to buy it. I am now 48 years old and about 2 years ago my father found it in a box and gave it back to me. I still have it and some day maybe, it will be working again.

My first was actually two watches both pocket LED's an Armitron and a Compu-Chron both bought at the same time as I joined the forum.
