Speaking of mechanical watches, I still have the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical on my wish list because it's kind of low in my priorities but the idea of owning a hand wind souvenir de guerre watch is attractive. It's more expensive in Canada but in the US it's considerably less expensive, I think somewhere around $200 and it's got a sapphire crystal, an ETA (2804-2) mouvement, and is water resistant to 5 ATM (50 m) probably suitable for swimming.
