I had a street vendor try to sell me a "Rolex" watch for a ridiculous (read: suspiciously low) price. On really close examination of the watch's face though, it actually had "Reflex" on the face! The horizontal - of the letter "e" was very faint, like someone had tried to rub it out. Caveat Emptor! When I was a lad of twelve, my mom and dad decided to buy me my first wristwatch for my birthday. They picked out a lovely (albeit heavy) Bulova that claimed be "Self-winding." When we discovered that it did not actually wind itself, my parents and I went to the store where they had purchased it. The salesclerk replied that it was indeed self-winding. "You have to wind it yourself," he stated... Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

See, THIS is the reason to buy a Rolex! 😄 It cost me $200 in 1972 and when properly tuned it kept time to within 15 seconds per month. Guaranteed to keep within one minute per month. It was indeed self winding and I never took it off, even to shower or sleep. They were often seen on Viet Nam veterans. Magnum PI wore one, for example, many others. I saw a pic of one on the outside of a space suit doing a space walk. It finally quit for the last time and I don't feel like paying a few hundred or thousand dollars to get it fixed. I don't need a watch these days anyway, even without a smart phone. I do, however, have a DayClock on my wall that has a single hand that makes a complete circuit once a week and points to the day. 😄 I had a doctor ask me what day it was, and I had no idea whatsoever. When you're retired, every day might as well be Saturday. Hence the need for the DayClock. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!
