when i was a kid (early '80s), i swear that i had a manual-wind timex similar in design to their current "camper," like this: does anyone remember what i'm talking about, or am i just an idiot? ...wait, don't answer that. Last edited on Sat Jun 28th, 2008 09:20 am by austinmark |

Believe it or not...when I was a kid (post-Mickey Mouse period), I had a hand wind MIDO...my Dad had a good friend/patient who was a pawnbroker. |

First watch I ever had was one of those military looking hand crank Timex's. Still wonder to this day what happened to it. |
