Yes, I hear about such things happening, but I'm not there at the time, and usually constrained by personal ethics if I am. Dad talked for a couple of years about a 300SL someone bought from some elderly $$$ folks in the Miami area and was driving up the interstate near Ocala. The story [urban legend?] was that the electronic fuel pump went out and stranded him, and he sold it for a song and a ride to somewhere. Dad heard about it a bit too late.

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.

Re: [MBZ] hijacked to certainty
Seems to me that I used to wear a digital that was that accurate in the late 70s. I'd check the watch against WWV each time I flew as nav (about four times a week) and it was 100% accurate to my-ear-tolerances. Time accuracy was important, because my flight logs and nav fixes went into court as evidence.

Re: [MBZ] hijacked to certainty
the generally invoked standard for super accuracy in a quartz watch is 10 seconds per year, so you did very well here. better quartz watches will do that right out of the box. the great irony is that those interested in quality timepieces have pretty much rejected quartz. this is curious given the obvious assumption that the main practical function of a watch is to keep time. i never wear a quartz watch today and haven't ever worn one on a regular basis. while i own some fancy swiss watches, my main watch is a relatively inexpensive chinese seiko automatic with malaysian movement. so, you see, i don't make any sense to anyone on the watch front.
