The proper use of a watch in any historic reenactment can make the difference between a good portrayal and one that is truly memorable.

Because organized shooting events often require a participant to be at a certain place at a specified time, it’s probably a pretty good idea to have some sort of timepiece at one’s disposal.

Many folks expend large amounts of time and money carefully researching and obtaining proper items for an authentic portrayal. While pursuing the hobby to that length may not be for all of us, we can’t help but admire those that do their level best to be as authentic as they can, and in the process make an impression that is remembered for a long time.

Nothing ruins the effect of an otherwise great- lookin’ get-up more than the sight of the latest and greatest offering from Mr. Timex peeking out from under the sleeve of that Wah Maker shirt. We all know it’s not the 1880’s, and we live in the modern world, but geez, it could be so close, if it weren’t for stuff like this.
