many more.


Yes..... but does it tell time?

I still wear a Timex Quartz purchased in 1980 for $12. Looks fine. It

flew
'round the world with me through the last 15 years of my career, and more
sedately in the ten years since. Never more than 1-2 seconds off in all
that time, according to WWV. New battery about $3-5 every 2-3 years.

Of course, ...... it won't impress anyone.


Nor will a Breitling impress those who really know watches. There are
dozens of small Swiss manufacturers that produce a better product at a small
percentage of what a Breitling will cost.
