A good mechanical watch will just keep going and

occasional clean and lube.
I read somewhere that watches themselves are on th

decline.
Apparently many folks simply use their mobile phon

as a time source.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Since I got my 1st mobile around 2001 I haven't
used watches at all.
Before 2001 I never really used watches that
much anyway. I never needed them at school
and didn't go out much during my teen years.
Infact, apart from one my grandparents had
(with day of the month on it), I never used
watches until I left secondary school (summer
1996) and had to go out looking for work etc.
(I didn't want to do further education - sixth
form, college and Uni etc.)
Didn't Mozart grumble about being paid with pocket
watches instead of
money?
Cheers,

But surely the watches would have been worth
more than money, to the right person of course?
