[Leica] OT: modern pocket watch?

[rmcclure2 at woh.rr.com (Rob McClure)]

Love my omEEga Speedmaster Pro (Moon Watch).  It is a true mechanical 
watch which requires winding every 2 days, but this is in fact a ritual 
akin to pulling out an exposure meter to check conditions light for my 
M4-2.  Have a 12 watch winder box that keeps my selfwinding watches 
wound (but certainly not accurate).  Lest you think me wealthy, my son 
brought back a drawer full of "replica" breitling, rolex, etc. from a 
tour over to the mideast sandbox.  Many are surprisingly well-crafted 
and keep better time than the originals.
