Anyone for a game of conkers?
The Brits on here will know what it means to dangle a conker (horse chestnut) on a string and hope your opponent doesn't smash your knuckles with theirs. A popular school-ground game in Autumn (fall) here in the UK.
BTW, the watch is from 1970. A Seiko Speed-Timer 6139-6031, known as a 'Coke' pogue. First Automatic Chronograph.

Tunokies seiko nut. But not exclusively. It started with Seiko and I'm partial to vintage but I like most brands.

She looks real good!!
Amazing watch. We also played similar game in Russia. Though instead of knuckles there were bullets and you hoped to survive 😂. Kidding knuckles they were.
We played it in New England in the USA in the 60's.
If you won you were a King 1 and if you survived the next challenge a King 2..and so on.
We used shoelaces.
Okay Morgan. Challenge accepted. See you at the Redbar meet in Bristol next month👍🏻. But I have a Seiko Tuna I can string up as a backup 😉 (just to warn you)
