My Dad wears whatever was on sale at Wal-Mart. I can't do that as I break 'em
too fast.
I've got a Timex "Iron Man" thats lasted something like 5 years now. The strap
loop (the thing that holds the loose end of the strap) broke but its replaced
with an elastic.
This has been a seriously good watch for me, anytime the strap lasts longer
than 3 years its a victory. Even nylon straps which I hate don't last. This one
has a rubber strap that shows no signs of deterioration.
I'm hard on my watch, I forget to take it off until it catches on something.
I've "polished" several bad scratches on the face of this one out with my
pocket knife...

i remember at our first big rustyQ, this dude comes to ask me about
his first generation rolex explorer. the hands have kinda rotted out
and he wants to know if it is "worth the money" to get new hands. he
was about floored when i mentioned the watch was worth thousands as is
and he ought not mess with anything without consulting an expert lest
he diminish the value of the watch.
in retrospect, i should have told him it wasn't worth the money but
i'd give him 100 bucks on the spot for it as my daddy wore one just
like it and i'm sentimental. lucky for him my dad really wore a
bottom of the line wittnauer.

Larry - Ed Ebel is the service manager at Becker of North America in Saddle
River. His Email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think that is the
only place where they do that work. Their turnaround is pretty quick, too.
I just sent mine in by insured USPS, and had it returned within a week.
I bought a 30 GB MP3 player made by Phillips, as it cost a lot less than
going with the Apple monopoly (iPod). The player came with all the software
needed to put any audio you can get into a PC onto the player. I loaded up
probably 6-8 CDs and didn't begin to tax the storage limits. And yes, since
it is shirt pocket size, it disappears into the glove box!
