Timex 21 JewelPicked this up on ebay. It is only a Timex but it was made in my birth year (1963) and is keeping better time than my Rolex!

I remember when they tied those Timex watches to horses legs and boat propellers and after all that, they still kept ticking.

I think they used to lick them too..
That's where they got the slogan..."Takes a licken' and keeps on ticken".. or I could be wrong..

I was born in 1963, too. Did anyone else notice you've got all the numerals for your birth year on the dial? 1, 9, 6 and 3. Cool!

Hi Lisa, cool that we have the same birth year. My wife says "none of the men will notice the numerals."
|
||||||
| Lisa |
None of the women would notice, either - except the strange ones!

Oooh... I think this one would do nicely.
