I recieved an LL Bean field watch, about 20 years ago as a gift. Its been back to Bean 2-3 times due to rough use or my own stupidity, but has otherwise been a reliable and durable time piece.

Don't even know if they still make/sell the unit, Bean holds little attraction now as it sells mostly clothing to yuppies and preps these days.

But 20 yrs ago they sold a good watch and still fix'm as needed.
