I saw that . . . probably shoulda done that . . . .but Rolex and Abrams tank or squad car don't mix . . . .get a good old Timex ($20) so when you slam it against something you're not out $345 or $700,000. I do have a Breitling though. It stays in a box until I have some formal something to do.

Back when I was at the PD we had a retired trooper who wore a Rolex Sub he bought as a retirement gift to himself.
They are tougher than you think.

So what is a machine like this really worth? I've looked at Apple's Refurbished shop page and similar, but newer, machines are fetching $1200 ~ $1800.
