Title: Will the watch part of a TimeKeeper break easily?/
Post by: JazzPorcupine on June 14, 2017, 04:48:28 PM: Wondering if it's worth getting one of the discontinued TimeKeepers. Is it pretty durable? Or should I stick with a Compact sans watch.

Post by: twiliter on June 14, 2017, 11:03:47 PM: 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. :ahhh :salute:

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

Post by: Little Tinker on August 19, 2017, 11:04:16 AM: 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
