Well, I have an early '70s Accutron, but sorry, no I don't want to sell it...
Doggone, this thread made me remember that I have a small, eclectic collection:
My grandpa's cheap, but priceless Westclox Pocket Ben, in his pocket the day he died, that still sports a "Shoestring makes a fine watch chain!" feature. The hands have been rusted onto the dial face since they stopped in 1958.
An Ardath Reefmaster, a modest mechanical self-winder with day/date from the '60s that my dad wore every day until he died.
My red dial Bulova Accutron, from about 1973 or so. I keep a battery in this one and wear it now and then for fun.
A purely functional Timex Expedition Indiglo, not as cheap as Brian's finds, but it has the loudest tick in the world. I had to let the battery run down so it would no longer bother my wife...
Most often I get the time from my cellphone!
