Its not fancy, just a stainless Oyster perpetual, but it has worked fine for my dad for at least 45 years of daily wear.

Most people stare at me as though I'm insane when the subject of Rolex is brought up (not by me). Can't say I care much for the over-inflated Mont Blanc either. </excerpt> Everyday I wear the Rolex my father gave me ten years ago. He bought that watch in 1965. Even if I don't wear it for two days it still runs, accurately. Not as old as my M3 but just as good. When my Rolex ticks its last tick I'll buy a new one and pass it on to my son. I'd rather spend a lot of money on something durable then buy something cheap over and over and over again. </excerpt><<<<<<<<
