A handsome timepiece, Hawk Eye. I have its twin - my grandfather's. Alas, mine is stopped. I think the mainspring broke.
I was surprised by this as well, but am reminded of a fighter-pilot joke I once heard: "How do you tell a bomber pilot in the shower? He's the one with the big watch and the small..." Well, you get the idea. Apologies to any bomber pilots in the room, I'm sure it's not true.
The point being - you don't need a giant watch to prove your masculinity!
