I get it. Why spend like that when you can have a gschock.
My father while flying helicopters in Vietnam used his slide rule equiped Navitimer as a tool, back before all the sophisticated avionics came about. His leather band rotted off from sweat and humidity. Anyway, it still performs and the thing is that is all mechanical.
You should check out some the the really sophisticated mechnical watches and what they are able to do... all being hand made. Way way over my price range, way way ha, but still they are marvels.
