Love the hippy message watch let me know if you find another Shame about the missing segment on the time display, although I suspect that it's probably repairable in the right hands.
Thanks for sharing the photo.
Green Benrus - I prefer the original case any way The green modules and glass are interchangeable with the equivalent red versions, the first greenie photo'd on the left in my group shot has been rehoused, I actually prefer this case to the original.
The Marcel will always stay a riddle to me. Why doesn't the Sanyo module fit? Was there a green module with just 2 buttons that we don't even know about? Prolly the most mysterious piece i still have...
The Hippy watch is pretty cool. Peace and Love... Well i actually thought true Hippies don't need a watch? Yeah broken segments are annoying!

Oh I see, I get the mystery - I was thinking that the Benrus was one that you had made up yourself to use as an alternative to the CompuChron case, I now understand this was how you found the Benrus, as a greenie already fitted with the green crystal.

What does the original module look like?
I don't know, it came in a huge lot of broken watches that i got from ebay. The Marcel Greenie (Note that it is not a Benrus as i found out yesterday)came in pretty bad shape (Case) and without module. I have fitted a broken red module from the same lot into it which seems to fit, so it didn't look so "naked". But absolutely no idea about the original module. I always thought it's also a Sanyo, but trying yesterday proved i was wrong.
