Actually I did work in a section of the public service that did require extremely high accuracy and precision. It caused great consternation when my caesium beam frequency standard failed just as I was about to decode a realtime encrypted message.
I would not buy one of those watches because I don't have a need for it but if you like to pass yours on I would most certainly cherish and keep it.
I don't wear a watch since it was knocked off my wrist while playing cricket 50 years ago. The band broke and could not be repaired so I still carry the time piece around in my pocket and wind and set it when I need to know the time a little more accurately.
