[Leica] OT: modern pocket watch?

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Beats me - I got it for her about 20 years ago and according to the dealer
it needs about $300 of "adjustment" and cleaning every two years or so.  I
got it because she itches when "alloy" bands are on her skin.  No big deal I
guess compared to the original cost.  My little Seiko keeps on working fine,
like my utilitarian Canon or Glock products.
