And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Nice looking time pieces, but when it comes to function my Casio AE1200 can do all of the tricks of these 4 watches and a lot more. All for under $30 USD.
I'm a big fan of the "rally strap" - the type with the holes to allow your skin underneath to breath and ventilate. Not very dressy though. Sailcloth and canvas are also comfortable while real lizard, alligator, and crocodile seem to wear out quickly. Ostrich is just too weird for my taste.
Kind of strange that two of them have the crown on the left side but the chronograph start & stop buttons are on the right side.

ReplyDeleteI quit wearin watches 25 years ago when I realized cell phones have accurate time
ReplyDeleteI quit wearing watches 40 years ago when I realized I didn't need to know what time it was every single minute of every single day.
DeleteAnyway, in 1976 I bought a Fortis Marinemaster with a similar color scheme like the one on the bottom. I sold it a few years ago for $3000.00.
4 different times...close enough for government work.
