Will the watch part of a TimeKeeper break easily?/

[JazzPorcupine]

Wondering if it's worth getting one of the discontinued TimeKeepers. Is it pretty durable? Or should I stick with a Compact sans watch.

I didn't carry mine because I didn't want to break it - so I sold it

I guess that answers it.

I have a black one that I've carried dozens of times, it seems pretty durable to me and keeps time perfectly, but I take pretty good care of all my tools to begin with. *shrugs*

Yes! So when you buy it, send it to me for safekeeping, I will send you photo's of it and let you talk to it on skype

To be fair, I only carry it for special occasions as I don't wear a wrist watch, but it doesn't seem any more delicate than other cellidor models. I probably wouldn't rebuild a carburetor with it or anything.

Well if you aren't rebuilding a car with your SAK I don't know what else to use it for.

In case it ever helps anyone, while browsing an 2008 retailer / wholesale catalogue I saw part A.3646 listed as the replacement red watch module (with an additional .03 suffix for the black version).

At the time of writing, listed here for CHF36 (~GBP30): https://www.mengcutlery.ch/en/Swiss-Army-Knives/Accessories/Spares-parts/A-3646-Swiss-watch--red.html?products_id=1425
