Hey QuePsiPhiSmkr, Emergency Mission huh? Sweet! Plus if you are ever camping and you forget your hammer and can't find a rock, you can use that monster of a watch to hammer in your tent stakes! ha, ha, ha
My favorite EM story is when Richard Branson took his off to give it to Steve Fossett during one of his ballon adventures. I watched a film clip of Steve landing and when he saw Sir Richard, he gave him his watch back. How cool is that?
If you want to read about the watch in my avatar, here's a link: Dreadnought
It's a solid watch, one of their more inexpensive models. But to be honest, it keeps crappy time. It is perpetually slow.

So does my Rolex Submariner... :angry:
The venerable Boston firm of E. Howard & Co., the Nation’s Timekeeper since 1842, has been making clocks and pocket watches of impeccable quality for well over 150 years. Now they’ve asked us to introduce the first R/C watch that gives you the convenience and accuracy of atomic time, while retaining classic elegance. The National Institute of Standards & Technology operates a cesium atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado that refines a single second into 9 billion intervals — then drives a radio transmitter at Fort Collins that broadcasts an 8-bit time & date signal throughout North America.
The Attaché receives and resets to that precise signal at 2:00 am each night — self adjusting for Daylight Savings Time and Leap Year. You’ll never set the time again! Select perpetual Date or Seconds on the LCD display merely by pressing the recessed button on the 3 o’clock side (notice there’s no stem!). Or, press the recessed button on the 9 o’clock side to manually reset time when outside North America. Scratch-resistant crystal and sealed case are completely water resistant to 165 feet. Choose polished stainless steel case with black leather band; or gold-plated case with brown leather band. Includes 2-year lithium cell. Attaché still keeps accurate quartz time when traveling beyond North America — just not atomic time!
Interestingly cigars and watches seem to go along quite well. In fact members of a watch forum sparked my interest in cigars.
I have to confess that I´m a watch nut and I must have bought and sold more than 150 watches in the last years. :0 :whistling:
Right now I´m trying to keep down my collection to max. 12 watches. Still I´m not a watch snob as I like my vintage or chinese watches as much as I like my Omega or Jaeger. :love:

Hey Frank....nice Master Moon. That's my most worn watch! Mine is the white face, though. Without a doubt, my favorite watch in the looks department. Works with jeans and a tux!

Unfortunately mine just barely gets some wristtime. In fact I would prefere the white face over my black one. I´m thinking about selling it, but haven´t made up my mind yet.
@3Vandoo: What happened to your Sub? I´m not a Rolex-fanatic but they´re normally tough as nails.
A Patek is definitely a watch worth waiting for.... someday maybe, someday.... :thumbs:
