Browning 9mm goes with the 36 yr old Rolex GMT Master; Walther PPK/S in
32 acp goes with my Buova Accutron Astronaut. Kid's timex keeps better time than the Rolex (which costs more <$500> to have it serviced now than it cost me when I bought it new for $225.00) but can the timex take a licking and keep on ticking??

Bought the non-working Accutron in a Army PX in 1970 for $10. Had it redone a couple years ago, and its' a beautiful watch that hums instead of ticks and keeps within 1 minute a month...
