By the way, a good 10 years ago you serviced a good friends 1680 that was dropped in an oil drum whilst on the wrist, or should I say, off the wrist of my buddies dad while working on the Bakken oil fields in the 70's.

Haha, I do recall that story and watch! Definitely not common! Hope all is well!
