<br />I sympathize with the item about 'real' railroad watches... but then again I have a few since the days in school I learned to work on them. Only one with the antimagnetic features required post-1942 or so -- but it's a 950 with Elinvar (bought when $125 was a lot of money to pay for a watch!) Interesting that the cheapest quartz wristwatch you can buy at Wal-Mart is more reliable and about a hundred times more accurate AND precise than the best of the Hamiltons, Illinois et al.! More accurate, too, than the Accutrons used by PRR (and then PC) to time the Metroliners -- which could gain or lose 2 seconds a day depending on which side of the wrist you wore them! Interesting how many people I meet down South who have 'their grandfather's old watch' that are Model 92s, often grade 845s... wish I could buy 'em but it wouldn't be right. <br /> <br />Overmod... You must be a watch collector. I think I miss the dicipline of time associated with railroad watches. I would enjoy seeing a modern quartz movement in a 16 size pocket variety, in a gold filled case with a railroad , a la Hamilton late Elinvar bold dial. I ralize that modern watches are more accurate. <br />Mitch
