Literally a handful, for company execs, I believe. They were never in stores.

Great article.

kaiserphoenix · 27 February 2015, 12:00 AM

Great article I agree with pretty much everything there and it applies to me. Particular the purpose built toolness and the toughness. Rolex watches are exceptionally well made and yet look great.

JJL · 27 February 2015, 12:12 AM

So true! I also wasn't aware of the SS DD. Learn something new here everyday!

Thanks for posting

Cool. I didn't know that the original Explorer that went to the top of Mount Everest in 1953 is still ticking to this day! Thanks for posting.

cop414 · 27 February 2015, 02:04 AM

Seaward · 27 February 2015, 03:37 AM

Sounds about right to me.

Was expecting to read things I didn't agree with but all five are solid points in my book

dysondiver · 27 February 2015, 05:36 AM
