Question I'm looking for a reliable analog Hygrometer, sugestions?

As I gather the materials I am going to use to build the drawers for my wine cooler humidor I find myself wanting to put in a nice looking round face analog hygrometer. The cedar drawers will show through the glass cooler door and a nice classy gold/brass tone analog hygrometer surrounded by the rich pattern of the Spanish cedar would be a nice finishing touch, and look much nicer than a square digital velcroed to the drawer.

Now I know the general consensus is that digital is better, and while I agree, there has GOT to be a reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and accurate, analog hygrometer out there.

Anyone have any positive experiences going analog?

What Brand is/was it?

Got a Link?
Got a spare??

I found this one but I am not sure if it is accurate or where to buy it. The MSRP is $42.99.

I'm not sure about what brand is best but I agree that the analogs aren't all that bad, digital is superior but that does not mean that the analog are obsolete.

I would salt test the analog hygro and also leave an accurate digital hygro in the humidor in the back in a tray or something. It won't be visible but from time to time you can check and make sure your analog is correctly calibrated.

I'll definitely have a digital in there somewhere. I have 3 already, I'm not gonna throw em' away, but for aesthetics you just can't beet a nice brass analog.

I bought a round adjustable one from Heartfelt a couple of months ago. I salt tested it and it was right on the money.
I bought another yesterday for my new wine fridge/humidor to be.

Actually, my "grand plan" Isn't really materializing like I had hoped. Even with the new wine coolerdor I'm already out of space :imconfused: and using all 3 hygros still. I still have a tupperware and my old humi up and running and haven't gotten an analog just yet.

I was however, able to find this digital on ebay for $12 bucks you might be interested in. I bought one and it seems to be working just fine. Found the same thing at PetSupermarket for $19.

Flurkers Digital Hygro
It is the exact same thing my B&M sells but without the Flukers name printed on it, but the B&M gets $28 bucks for it! :angry: And I bought one for $28 bucks before I bought this one.
