This video from 1949 produced by the Hamilton Watch company (A heritage American watchmaker), uses a Hamilton 747 movement to instruct the audience on how an automatic wristwatch (or pocketwatch) works. Save for some improvements and complications by various manufacturers, the general engineering concept for a basic timepiece has been largely unchanged for 300 or so years. I am not very mechanically minded, but certainly the Mechanics, Engineers and Architects amongst you should be informed/entertained by this video.

This is why a good watch that you can pass on to someone starts at like $1200. The Modern version of that Omega Seamaster is probably about $7K and worth every penny. It will last 100 years with servicing every 5-10 years.

She was wearing an AP in Mott Haven!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with NYC, the Bronx (with the exception of like 4 neighborhoods) is the poorest boro of the city. The Bronx has roughly 30-35 neighborhoods and Mott Haven is probably in the top 3 in terms of poverty and criminality. This chick was likely either a stripper, a drug dealer's GF, or both. You're not living in Mott Haven and wearing luxury wristwatches from your gainful, mainstream employment. There is probably less than a 1% chance of that being possible. To contrast, I own 3 less-expensive Rolexes, but I'm a man and I would not be in that neighborhood wearing one. Plus, I'm 6'7" and willing to fight. This chick is lucky they didn't shoot her or hack her arm off. That neighborhood is nothing but Blacks, Ricans and Dominicans and half of them are gang members. Real bad news.
