You dodged the bullet on the watch thing ~P, whew! Little did I know how badly I'd get bitten when I went looking for information on a cheap Russian hand winding watch years ago. I've studiously avoided the whole flashlight thing by carrying nothing but Maglites for years. It was close when I went looking for a small powerful light for my wife and picked up a Fenix (in purple, her favorite). I survived by diving head first into traditional knives!![]()
Oh heck, that's not surviving. That's jumping from the frying pan right into the fire!
