    $228 in 2026 dollars. That is an insane amount for a Rocky and Bullwinkle watch.

    What does the 17-jewel thing mean?

      Mechanical watches use tiny jewels for the bearings for moving parts. For a time-only watch, 17 jewels means that every moving part has jewel bearings.

        I have lived my life up until this point thinking the numbers on the watch were made out of jewels and that it was a vanity thing.
