Any vintage watch experts out there? Buddy found a whole box of watches in the attic of a house. We found most online and they ranged in time (no pun intended) from 1906 to about 1972. They were all in repair envelopes with the latest dated 1977. Unfortunately he screwed up and separated them all from the envelopes without tracking what came from where so any info there may have been is now mixed up.
We can't find a single reference on this one. Ugly as hell but interesting at the same time.

Oh and the weird shape to the bezel isn't an angle of the photo or trick of perspective it actually is made that shape.

The fact that Buick is top spot makes me highly suspicious of this poll.

Why? Who buys Buick? What chance that they're going to be disappointed? I think this says more about who buys what (and whether the car meets their expectations) than about actual hardware. But I'd have to see the questions used to arrive at this result to be sure.

Well, it is a sales satisfaction survey. Maybe the customer went in, the Buick wasn't available, and that satisfied them.

I will say getting a ~25% discount on my last Buick vehicle purchase because they couldn't sell them was pretty satisfying. But that's GM in general.

I refuse to believe that modern Nissan is above "segment average" in any category.

It's generally pinned on so they can lift it to read it. Saves a wristwatch from getting sticky while changing bedsheets & etc. The 5 sec intervals may have something to do with taking pulses, or not. I'm snowed in right now, so I didn't stay a Howard Johnsons last night for any boost. Backwards ... no clue.
