The Alba Y823-5000 is a neat little digital watch I picked up at a flea market in Osaka Japan for about $10. Beside the usually quartz watch offerings, this one had a button that will read the current time to you in Japanese with a button push.

Exactly! The speaker sounds like crap, but it may need a thorough cleaning when I get back home.
That is a nice find! I love the old Alba/Seiko digitals.
I didn’t know about Alba before but after doing some reading I’m really liking their vintage watch lines. I wish I had paid more attention to the buckets of “as-is” watches in the markets.
