Reply #2: I have a Timex watch story like that [View All]

[skygazer]

Always felt it would have made a good commercial for John Cameron Swayze (remember him?).

I found a Timex in the road while camping one year. It worked fine so I kept it. A couple of years later, I lost it while working at a riding stable. A full year later (after going through a Vermont winter), the owner of the stable had her giant manure pile carted off and while the guys were digging it up, they found my watch about a third of the way down.

I cleaned it up, wound it, and it still worked. I had that watch for another 5 or 6 years before I lost it permanently. Best watch I ever had.

Takes a licking but keeps on ticking!
