me, as an army officer:

"we've noticed you're requisitioning a tank for every single operation you're on, despite none of those operations even remotely requiring a tank"

"yep"

"...why?"

"tanks have kettles built in"

"...YOU'RE USING SEVERAL MILLION POUNDS WORTH OF MILITARY HARDWARE JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE A CUP OF TEA?!?"

"yes."

@kimpegasus sold it for scrap to a... swedish? company IIRC

it went from "ooh, look at my shiny watch that has "true seconds", only proper watchmakers can do that so it's dead fancy" to "oh, is that a cheap quartz? NO! IT'S DIFFERENT DAMNIT" in the space of like, five minutes

A watch complication that used to be far more popular than it is now was the "seconde morte", or "dead seconds"

this was a complication of a mechanical watch where the seconds hand would move only once per second from index to index instead of the usual several times per second

it was one of the casualties of the quartz crisis, once all these cheap quartz watches had hands that ticked at once per second nobody wanted to pay the extra for a mechanical movement that did it
