Buzz,

The only watch that I have that might be of interest is an old Elgin Timer Stop Watch that I believe was made in the early 1900s. It was my Grandfathers and the referees used it when they were calling basketball games. It still runs and works well but needs to be cleaned and I took it to the local watch shop and they couldn't find any place that even knew about this model or how to work on it. It has a sealed rubber cover over all but the face which is turning yellow with age and a wind up stem that you press to start and stop it.
All of my other watches have just been run of the mill Bulova, Timex, and that type. I now wear a Seiko which I have had for abut 18 years and like it, but it is nothing special.
Some of the people on here have some great watch collections.

Ron
