At last; some real-world photos of the Darth Regulus. Thank you.

You're welcome. I think I will be returning it because it is pretty much useless in all but direct light.

And this is the key insight for prospective buyers.

A glass of wine too many & a £7 +tax negative display from AliEx turns up 😲
This thing lights up like a torch
It's very comfortable to wear too, quite large though.

Skmei or Lokmat?

Skmei or Lokmat?

Skmei, there is no branding on the case, just on the caseback.

Yeah, I thought so. Anyway, here's a Lokmat watch that looks somewhat similar:

Looks as though Lokmat has fitness functions, the Skmei I set with my Casio wave ceptor 3 weeks ago & it has kept perfect time.
Good value

I like Skmei watches, but sometimes they are not so waterproof as advertised

That's a very rare Seiko lcd wach from 1972. How much did you purchase it for? I'm curious. They're very hard to find in working condition.

too much!

Couldn't find this watch brand new anywhere in Bulgaria, so I bought it second hand.

Should "alm" stay always on display even if there's no active alarm?

too much!

I know that it was too much. But how much is too much? That’s what I would like to know. Don’t be scared to say how much.

My previous reply was meant as a polite way of saying..... don't be so nosey👃.
Obviously you didn't pick up on it

I was asking how much that you purchased your rare Seiko for and for a very good reason. If we don’t know how much, we will never know what to offer for this particular model if a model like this ever is put up for sale. That’s the reason why I was asking you how much that you purchased it for. It has nothing to do with being nosey. It would be nice for a fellow WUS member to be able to help another member know what to offer for a watch like yours if one ever goes up for sale. That’s what this forum is all about.

I think for such a question a private message would have been be more appropriate.
Not sure why your reason for asking would really help.
If someone offers one they will ask whatever price they want to ( they will generally have done some research to figure out what to ask ), its then up to you if you want to buy it or not.
if I told you I paid a $1000 for mine and the seller was asking $3000. You telling them that you knew of one that sold for just $1000. won't help. They'll as likely just say ...'well you should have bought that one then!'
If I told you I paid $4000 for mine, you'd still have to decide for yourself if you wanted to pay the $3000 or not.

Bought a pair of NOS Citizen Freeway watches, just because I could. One has a velcro strap, the other a regular strap. The blue backlight is great on these.

I finally pulled the trigger on a used Nixon The Regulus, since the price was right, and the color was acceptable (not being camo), it's Dark Slate.

I wanted a Suunto Core for awhile, but wanted the Alpha or Stealth. The price was a little too much considering it was a non smartwatch. I picked up a Nixon Regulus Red/Black and it was a cool watch, but pretty much useless unless you were in direct light or using the backlight. It was around what I was going to budget for a digital watch that wasn't a GShock. Lo and behold, I was gifted an Amazon GC and they were selling this for $125. All in, I paid $32.50 for this, so I see it as a win. Already more useful than the Nixon, because I can see it. Fortunately, the Regulus is on its way back to Carlsbad for a refund.
