oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
4 oclock crowns are for idiot shitlords with no style or taste.

chronographs are for 14 year old boys with a subscription to soldier of fortune.

metal bracelets are for people who don't like comfort

etc

I like metal bands because they don't absorb sweat and smell like rear end

dude the kinetic ball rolls around inside the watch on a little track, it sounds so cool and you can feel it. by far the best watch powering technology imo

I, also, have a Ball watch

most do but that one is neat

it had quartz-like accuracy before quartz watches were possible, and was actually the first wristwatch allowed by the railroads, pocket watches were the norm since keeping it in a vertical orientation made it more accurate. quartz wristwatches came on like 5 years later but it's still a neat bridge technology

they don't all have the see-thru face



the current accutron they sell is a quartz movement but it's some crazy ultra high frequency crystal. I bet it's not temperature compensated though

the see-through was just supposed to be a display watch for dealers, but people liked it so much they ended up selling them. this was back in the 60's when watches weren't just a $5 quartz timex that tells perfect time forever
