What a thread we've started?! HOw about those Leica watches that I've =
seen on eBay?? ha!!! dont' own a Rolex here, but I do have a nice =
collection of old Bulovas, etc that seem to work real well. all =
mechanical and never a spot of worry about them. I can own at least =
10 real gold watches from the 30s and 40s for the price of a used Rolex, =
have them restored, swap em at will with nary a loss of value, keep on =
using them and none of the TAG/Rollex guys even give a crap! That's my =
life and I"m sticking to it! ha! A TAG on my wrist as I'm cruising on =
my Royal Enfield doesn't seem right! ha! Each to his own. =20
And about those swatches: I have one I bought 15 years ago (in high =
school) that still has the original plastic band and has several =
coloured "crystal protectors"-- little pieces of rubber that fit over =
the crystal and protect from knocks. Gave it to my daughter and have to =
only set the time when you change the battery. It's dang accurate for =
junk! Hoping to give my daughter a leica when here barbie 110 wears out =
too, but the dang thing keeps firing!!!! Have even dropped it off her =
bike and ran it over once! Dang that engineering! Kent
