Seiko D031 / Armitron LC415 Scrolling

[abem]

Hi,

I just got an Armitron branded version of the Seiko D031 design (this one designated the Armitron LC415). The features are exactly the same as the Seiko. I put up a little gallery and description if anyone is interested:

My question is this:
If you push and hold the date button for 2 seconds, it goes into marquee mode where it continuously scrolls the time and date from right to left across the display. I was wondering if this uses more power and shortens the battery life as compared to the normal non-scrolling time display.

Glad to see it arrived finally. Sorry for the long wait
Nice Watch! , I like the new band...Way better choice

Aha... it is a small world (well, at least this particular niche is). if Ed could set up his own auction site, he'd give eBay a run.

Thanks Benrus! Yes, I rather like this little gem. It's like no other in my collection and it's quite sparkly with it's odd color changing mirrored face.

PRESS BUTTON AT SIDE AND IT WILL SCROLL ACROSS SHOWNING DAY DATE. IF KEEP PRESSED FOR 2 SECONDS IT WILL SCROLL CONTINUESLY THO NOT RECOMENDED= WILL DRAIN BATT QUICKLY.

so i'm not an expert but thats what i read at another discription of the d031.

btw i think i have to sent in mine for a photoshoot incredible pictures again Abe...just love to look at them.

love the scrolling shots

It does look good with the Seiko strap, maybe your choice inspired the seller.

Thanks for the heads up, I have now bought it. Now on the look out a gold version (either this or preferably D031 or Armitron) to go with it.

Cheers

Pleased to have pointed it in the direction of a happy buyer.

Here's another that has also been mentioned recently on the forum, the Seiko F231, item number 140655884931, looks to be in great condition too.

Obviously

I wasn't referring to another scrolling display watch just a particular watch that was mentioned in a recent post
