I have a cool old watch. It's from the 1960's or earlier. It belonged to my grandfather who died in 1968 before I was born. I found it in a drawer in 1986 when my grandmother passed away and we were cleaning out her house. I don't know much about it, but it's really thick and has a stopwatch and some other interesting details. My grandfather wrote a couple of books on flying. This watch is depicted in one of the diagrams.

Steve,
Pls post a photo or more info of the watch. Might be worth saving for yourself or kids.
Joe
