    Hi,

    I don't know anything about trains/railroads but I appreciate hobbies/enthusiasts. I collect watches and have just picked up a quartz watch called "S.P. Daylight". It has a track running around it, and model of the S.P. Daylight (Coast???) running around the track as the seconds hand :)

    I would appreciate any info on this such as:

    - are they a dime a dozen or rare?
    - when were they issued?
    - are they collectible?

    I can't post a link just yet, sorry.

    Welcome to TrainBoard.

    Cannot say with absolute certainty, but really doubt the RR put it out. Probably more in the aftermarket/souvenir type venue. Likely quite minimal worth. Just a fun item for someone who would be an SP fan.

    I have one. Bought it about 20 or so years ago. Visually- it's OK. Functionally-It's a POS!! It stopped working after a few months. If memory serves me- it was in the $30.00 range.

    Just my 2 pennies worth,

    Well, I've been told this one works. Fingers crossed.

    Did it come with a black strap or a stainless steel/gold two-tone?

    Mine came with the fake leather black strap. That sucked as well. I was very dissapointed with the watch.

    Wow, sounds like it really ruined your life :)

    I know what I'm getting into. It's just a fun novelty piece to bore my guests with.

    I'm into originality, so I'm glad you can confirm the strap. I have seen another one with a metal band.
