I should dig it out and see how well it keeps time these days, though I'll need a quick refresher on how to use the C and D scales. It's been decades since I've played with a slide rule.
I bought mine for a real cheap price when I was stationed in Korea. I've always loved tech and had to have this. When calculator watches became an affordable reality, I retired my trusty Seiko.
My taste in watches is analog, though I prefer wearing a Casio G-Shock when doing the outdoors bit.
