In Response To: Could anyone explain... ()

I like the fact that it's a tough, durable watch.
I like the fac that it's manual wind.
I like the looks.
I like the fact that it has a history behind it.
I would think most people either like it or they don't, and if they need someone to explain to them what's to like about it, they're in the "don't like" camp, and an explanation isn't going to change their minds..
