My watch came in

Won the auction several days ago, went on a trip and got back last night. Checked the mail today, and whoo-hoo! My package came in. It's a 30 second stopwatch, mechanical. Pretty freakin awesome.

Now I'll be able time my torpedo runs manually and realistically!

I wanted to buy this one:

But damn, that's expensive. And I wasn't even sure about whether it was authentic or not. I'm pretty happy with what I got

Very nice

I must admit I was tempted to bid for the original one....just whilst I was viewing it and noting the Ebay buyer protection facility but would never get it past the missus unnoticed

I also noticed $23 for a reproduction German WWII grenade

The funny thing is that I have been looking at the same type of stopwatches, as I like thsoe types of things in general.

Pretty nifty! It would be kind of neat to have a real Kriegsmarine stopwatch!
