MY FIELD WATCH ON DUTY AND WORLD TRAVEL COMPANION IS THE GEORGE J VON BURG 'TRIPLE DATE' WITH CHRONO, MOONPHASE DATEHAND AND 24-HOUR AND SMALL SECONDS HAND AT THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION-11 FUNCTIONS ON A MECHANICAL WATCH ! ON A FABULOUS VALJOUX 7751 MOVEMENT. I'M ALREADY INTO IT FOR ONE MAINSPRING ($700) REPLACEMNT AND RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE DOUBLE- STITCH CROC BAND WITH A SLIGHTLY INFERIOR ONE AFTER OVER A DECADE OF CONSTANT WEAR. THE GERMAN FLIERGER STYLE HANDS ARE EASY TO READ AT NIGHT AND THE WHOLE PIECE JUST 'SINGS TO MY WRIST'!

ONLY FIFTY WERE EVER MADE. FRANKLY IT SAVES ME MONEY; I SEE OTHER WATCHES OF INTEREST THAT MAKE ME DROOL HOROLOGICALLY

BUT THEN SENSIBLY CONCLUDE "I'M ALREADY WEARING IT"

THE OTHER OF MY FAVORITES WAS GIFT FROM A LOCAL JEWELRY SHOP OWNER WHO LEFT THE KEYS IN HER SHOP'S FRONT DOOR ABSENTMINDEDLY. IT IS MY '60'S WAKMANN ON A VENUS 178 MOVEMENT. WHAT IS CHARMING ABOUT THIS ONE IS THE THREE SUBHAND-DIALS ARE ALL DIFFERENT!

THEY DON'T DO THAT LITTLE STUFF ANYMORE.

< THIS PUPPY SITS BY THE COMPUTER AND GET WOUND MANUALLY ....EVERY DAY!

I TEND TO FROWN ON ALL THE NEW APPLE WATCHES

NOT BEING ENTIRELY A 'MAN OF THE 21ST CENTURY'

BUT I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO WEAR ONE IF ENTERING A SAUDI EMBASSY

The watch was connected to a mobile phone he left outside, Reuters quoted the Turkish officials as saying on Oct. 10. __________________ "Only two things are infinite; The Universe and human squirrelyness?!!
