So, what kind of watch was it? You make a brand name
suggestion, was that what you bought?

Yes - it's a plain Rolex from the days when the company built
watches accurate enough that they could be used for navigation.
The case, stem and band are plain old stainless steel. And even
though it doesn't understand Daylight Savings Time or time zones,
it hasn't missed a tick (5.00000/sec) for over forty years.

That's better than any other machine I've ever owned.


Yet the buck three eighty quartz jobs keep as accurate time, if not better,
and you can take 'em off at night without sacrificing accuracy. Oh yes,
and pitch them if the crystal scratches rather than pay 180 bucks for a
replacement.
