Thanks Ken and everyone ! I've seen a few folks lament the slow delivery and the fact that they missed the deal. Being a new shnoop.com member I've gone back several days in a row now, and they seem to be running this deal frequently, at least in the "yesterday's deal" section. Finally, they showed my order 'shipped' the very next day, so I hope that means that I'm lucky in that department.

30 years ago, I had a "Railroad Approved" Accutron. I'm a Locomotive Engineer by profession, and my company designated a retailer/wholesaler to offer us watches at a discount. That was a great watch. When I was promoted, my Father bought me a Seiko Chronograph to time the measured miles on my Division between Detroit and Toledo, Ohio. I really had a use for the stopwatch :D. Somehow over the years I lost that Accutron, so I'm very happy to find this one in an attractive and functional configuration. I wear a Chase-Durer to work these days.

Thanks for all the warm and encouraging posts fellas...Tom
