Only watch I’ve ever lost was a Remington Electra 23 given to me by my grandmother’s second husband… looking back it was prob a terrible watch with a cheap 1-jewel movement, but I wish I still had it. Got lost in a move with the military
Helbros was a really large American brand that died a slow, lingering death in the late 70s after about 50 years of history.
