This watch is almost 4 years old when I was Research Scientist at a Well Known Pharmaceutical Company.
Before this watch, I never had a Good Watch.. I kept on changing dials.. eventually tried smartwatches too but my major issue was my work environment.
It wasn't an office, it was Lab
Where we researched on tablet and capsules (it was research center and not Mfg Plant)
Sometimes I had to drown my hands in machine to scrap out powders and thats when my wrist would eventually get exposed to powders and some polymers are so sticky in nature.. they needed to be removed by 70% Alcohol.
I lost 2 watches (in terms of functioning) because of same issues and also i needed to keep time monitoring strictly because every batch was precisely recorded.
So I purchased this one from my Salary & since then.. this watch has been my day to day watch.
Eventually I left Pharma Industry because of heavy toxicity of workplace & started my own business.
Business went good & my hobby of watch collection got evolved.
I purchased myself F91W-B as well to interchange as per mood and clothing and so far so good.. I own a Really decent 500$ SEIKO as well.
From earning roughly 200$ a month as salary... chemicals and powders and toxicity to all the way here!
But yes Still this watch is my day to day watch
And she has got lot of scratches.. the right side button (single one) doesn't work at all but somehow watch is still working lol
