Mark, yeah, that's a mighty cute watch, but that's one of those rare HW items that go for quite a bit. Unfortunately this kind of watch is not divable because no one is willing to make the crown waterproof again... Not that I would turn one away, but I have way too many watches as it is, I even have two Bulova Accutrons! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulova#AccutronJB

If I had the cash, or found one very cheap I'd love to have one just to have it, but not going to hold my breath. I just wanted to show this here. I'd love to find an older dive watch someday, but going to be happy with my Casio right now, which I actually love and look forward to taking it underwater this Summer. Mark

The name really had me flummoxed for a bit: Glaucus (Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος) was a Greek prophetic sea-god, born mortal and turned immortal upon eating a magical herb. It was believed that he commonly came to the rescue of sailors and fishermen in storms, having once been one himself. Glauca glaucous in Latin meaning "bluish-grey or green" also Glaucus (/ˈɡlɔːkəs/; Greek: Glaukos, "greyish blue" or "bluish green" and "glimmering") is a Greek name. In modern Greek usage, the name is usually transliterated Glafkos. because Arctostaphylos glauca is a species of manzanita known by the common name bigberry manzanita. It is native to California and Baja California, where it grows in the chaparral and woodland of coastal and inland hills. Muhahahaha--nerd-boy strikes again!

I caught this on my Facebook page feed. I noticed the Pinocchio mask in the first photo, and had to check it out further, then I saw the Healthways second stage... Mark

Anyone know what the correct technical term for the little round spring clip that holds the short duckbill in the exhaust of a SCUBA reg.? I just started working at an auto parts store chain and might do some investigating to see if we carry a line of specialty fasteners, etc.
I'm not going to ask around for a "chingadera"...I am stranded in Ohio and can only stand so many blank stares when I use that word...
I'd guess something along the lines of a "circular spring clip" or something like that? Also, what size should I ask for? 1 inch diameter? Thanks Mark

Mark,
These are more robust than the original Healthways clips, which we called a "C" clip, as they did look like a "C" The original ones were a wire clip, with the ends facing inward. They went along the horn's retaining ring, but on the inside to keep the duckbill in place.

I know what the Healthways clips looked like, just very little luck online finding one. So I might just be done with it and get one of the modern versions that are easy to find. Mark
