That is awesome!
You think he was concerned with "can I get it wet", "can I wear it to play golf", and all the similar questions?

Sorry, can't do that.

You can't take anything with you going to Hell and as far as I know you can't even get back when your first are gone.

These are fun too... I have a book somewhere that rolex used to print with a bunch of these.

Funnily enough I was thinking of a post on here a couple of months back where the gent had worn a day/date every day for x years. Can't remember his job but it was a manual one IIRC, you could hardly see through the crystal.

He had it refreshed and it was quite a satisfying post to read and see the outcome.

Good luck on this forum. But you could ask to see some overworked and abused Cape Cod cloths.

show and tell,

War watches don't necessarily go through more hell than watches that are used in more normal conditions.

My war watch, which sadly I no longer have, came back unscathed, while I was on the verge of death.

I thought it was broken because it stopped and kept stopping, but it was just because I was not moving enough to keep it wound.

When my dad took it to have it fixed, he brought it back and said it worked perfectly.

It was a Bulova by the way.
