Broken watch

The inner slide rule bezel just came off my Citizen Skyhawk watch.  Figures, the warranty just expired, too.

EDIT:  And naturally, the battery is dead on my old Casio.

I got a lovely retro Casio for pocket change, free shipping, and ultrafast delivery from http://www.xcelwatches.com/

I've sent off an e-mail to Citizen asking how much they want to repair it. If it's unreasonable, I'll just try gluing it on myself. I really like the watch (though I wish I'd known they were going to release a new, more advanced model within weeks of buying it) and don't plan on replacing it any time soon.

That web site does have one of the more interesting Casio watches, though, one with a solar panel, atomic time, barometer, thermometer and compass and made of titanium. A mere $200. :P

I wear a simple Casio W201 for $11 (free shipping). My last watch was a similar model and lasted over twenty years, so I think it's a good deal. :)
