Aloha Shawn!

Arrived Saturday 11/15, picked up today 11/17. Great timing too as I will be heading to the mainland later this week.

(Received the two faces I ordered right after you sent them out. August? September? Honestly don't remember!)

Big mahalo for making this happen!

I don't wear my watch everyday so it stops; is there a method of winding it so it keeps time for more than 24 hrs?

Search Amazon for "Watch Winder." They're also a good Christmas gift

Y'know, this might actually work...

The way an automatic watch works it that it has an offset weight attached to the winding gear. As your wrist moves, the weight swings and winds the mainspring. Vibration won't wind it, but even small movements of a few degrees in either direction will work.

I think if you strapped your watch to the steering wheel of your daily driver, the act of turning the wheel while you drove would wind it enough to keep it powered between wearings.
