Interesting...I have a 50s Hamilton I used to wear all the time. (hey, a pun?) It's gold plated and very thin, the reason I liked it. Also wind up of course, don't think we have electronic watches at that time...but unfortunately no date.
No

I had better exit stage left before the off topic police show up!

Geometry was the most critical/useful mathematics class I had, and it didn't even teach me mathematics.

I still have a 21 jewel Bulova wristwatch I bought on liberty in Japan back in 1951 on the way to Korean war..The transport shipp docked in Yokohama...It is "self-winding" and still runs if you wear it long enough to wind it. You can feel the counterbalance "swinging around" when you move your arm.

This shows how people can follow others blindly without questions. Look at how many people kept on talking about watches in a hand saw thread!
