Thats a cool story about your 24 hour watch. I don't think I've ever seen that movement. It sounds like a great one. All I see now are the russian model 24 hours moevements. Its a shame A Shield is long gone. I had one of their alarms that I used climbing for several years.

The most Famous Watch on This Forum....Congrats Ken! I think I'll give my vintage Glycine Airman an outing today...........one owner, bought new at the Munich PX in 1965!  It has been greatly abused and still runs like a champ....original AS1701 movement.  Original SS bracelet lies somewhere on a jungle floor near Quan Loi!

I can't even begin to tell you the absolute physical beating that this watch has taken.  Quite frankly, it runs so well, I'm afraid to have it serviced.  Still has the original acrylic crystal....although it has been polished out a few times!
