You Great Grandfathers watch is really special. Sometimes I look at my cell phone instead of my watch...bad boy...I do prefer my mechanicals. Something amazing about a ticking watch. I love to have the exhibition backs so I can see it moving.
Same here. I recently bought a Hamilton 940 watch that's in a dicy case. I'm hunting for a "salesman" case (glass back) that I can use to show off the incredibly beautiful movement.
