Heh, I'm wearing my Commodore watch now, datestamped 07/77 and still getting
admiring glances from all and sundry. When I flew from the UK to Guernsey
(in the Channel Islands) the other weekend I wasn't allowed to take it into
the cabin because of the terrorist threats - "it looks like it might set
something off!" was one comment. Nice :)

Ah yes, the famous exploding Black Watch, still
going for silly money on
epay even if it doesn't work!
After I couldn't get any cooperation in getting the needed parts for mine,
I tossed it out. Your comment probably explains why the company
stonewalled on my requests for a complete kit. I bought a Commodore watch
instead--for $15. Sadly, I don't have it any longer, but I still do have
my National Semiconductor LCD watch. In both instances, perspiration did a
number on the circuitry.
