inspecting a bike AFTER it's been delivered.

Timex never made watches, they made clocks.

Timex were different to other watch makers in that they used a clock
movement rather than a watch movement in their wrist-worn timepieces.
This is why they were cheap and didn't last very long, or keep good
time.

I had a Timex once, once was enough.

That's drawing a fine line on pedantism Theo :-)

Mind you, it did make me go and look up the difference. I think 99.99%
of the population would still class it as a watch if it is attached to
your body. And from what I could find on the net, that's how it is
generally defined.

You have any references for different definitions? I'm intrigued
(being an anal person about correct time after years in live TV where
we ran rubidium time base correctors before framestores and the
interwebs could provide generic atomic servers).

I'd always picked you as more a Psycho Watch-type (pronounced Seiko).
