Blog Mirror: 60 Clicks; A Brief Guide to the Iconic Watches of The Vietnam War

Why? Well because you need to know, that's why.

A Brief Guide to the Iconic Watches of The Vietnam War

For what is worth, here on the second day we've linked in a watch thread, most soldiers were never issued watches. Never.

Not in World War Two, not in Vietnam, and not now.

They're issued on a need basis alone. For guys who need to time things precisely. And at least in my experience, if you have a watch with a second hand, and most people do, the services expects you to use your own.

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
