Love the hippy message watch 8-) 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? :-D Yeah broken segments are annoying! :x

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.
