so, i have wondered nearly forever why do we need watches that can keep correct time down to the seconds on a yearly basis?
and there's other folks who manage to show up to work on time without a watch?
what is so special about timepieces? is it all about money?

Steve, I don't want a high dollar watch. That said, what would you recommend in the 200-300 dollar range? looking for something that is not ornate. Field type watch is more my style.
My 28 year old Seiko Sports 150 is beat to heck, but I still wear it every day. Had to JB weld a few links because I can't find a band that works well with it. Looking for something similar.
Thanks Brother. Brother John, Over the years, I've enjoyed a couple of Swiss Army watches and they always gave me great service. I prefer the Victorinox company's watches over the other versions. Hope this helps. God Bless, Your Brother Steve

Question. If an eight day clock will run eight days without winding it, how long will it run if it you wind it???

Two Rolexes in Havre? Say it isn't so!
Thanks Steve. That's better info than I had before I asked.

with the right key, and proper procedure, it could go on until it wears out, or the answer (in terms of correct time) is no longer trustworthy. watches, how did they ever come to mimic the intergalactic space, sun, moon, and Earth movements?? the Navy knows, right?

I don't even own a watch. That's because you have someone telling you what time it is

Please Note: A watch that gains one-second per month is never on time. A watch that is stopped is precisely on time twice each day. Does this mean that the stopped watch is better? God Bless, Steve

Ahhhh Brother Steve, any more watch maker "jokes"? Seems like the ubiquitous cell phone has replaced the watch in many circles. I don't need a watch for daily wear, but I really like one hunting.

In a restaurant one time when a customer,pointing at a clock on the wall, asks the waitress if that clock was right. Sure, she says, it's always right. Right there. He didn't ask anything else.
