A black band on that orange Tag would work.
Speaking of (Tag) Heuer, I got this for my 10th birthday in the 70s. Still works and in great shape.
I have to confess, I have a watch fetish.
I like the orange band. My old one was fluorescent. Makes it hard to loose.
Being an artist, I like color. You should see my clothes. lol. Aside from an orange watch, I was looking for a classic white faced, silver, with a tan leather band. I ended up with two black ones instead.Orange probably repels sharks, too. I sometimes worry about my silver Seiko with stainless band looking like a tasty fish when I'm in the ocean for a long period of time.
Here’s my daily driver. Old reliable, I’ve had this thing forever and can’t remember the last time I put a battery in it.

Yeah, I rarely use the Indiglo.Many recent Timex watches use a big 2016 battery. I have one I bought in 2006 or 2007 that still runs.
Of course, it will last less time if you routinely use the Indiglo feature.
I love my new solar so far! I just have to resist wearing it to work, and let the Timex take the licking.I've replaced the battery on my Luminox at least 4 times over 20+ years. One reason why I got an automatic. But it's a dress watch and I don't get dressed up much, so it's always dead. The new diver is solar powered. Unless the sun goes out, I should be good.

This thread is brand new to me, never saw it before.
About 2 decades ago, I had got the grandpa's kinetic watch fixed by an actual watch repairman. Shake it a few times even today, it takes right off. This was around 1995 or so.
As of THIS VERY MORNING, I sent my late father's own kinetic Timex off to a guy in Florida that Timex themselves actually recommended. Retired repairman who does some of their work (these guys are dropping like flies, so act now) and he's assured me he can fix it.
Yeah, I'm sentimental, and it has affected my wallet as much as my heart, lol.
I started it last year and have been amazed that it has gotten so long!
I am rolling along with my two Seikos and a Bulova still. My Wife is up to around 50.......
I'm not surprised, ever watch the Invicta shows? Some collectors have more watches than I have records lol. I've always liked mechanical watches, especially automatics but they can be pricey if chronographs. But wasn't bitten by the collecting bug until the past couple of yrs, now I have a few dozen lol.
One of my Star Wars collectables.

Grandma gave something similar to me for high school graduation back in 1977. Don't quite remember the model or what happened to it.
Last year at a party, some young guy had one. I was stoked. He told me it was a replica and it was becoming the in thing. This was in Silicon Valley.
