I've got one that's cooler than that, it is an actual rotor. I got it back in about 2002 (and paid dearly for it...over $250 at the time). I wore it to a couple of rotary shows but no one seemed to give a ****, so I stopped. It's just sitting on my shelf now in the box. I replaced the battery in it one time but it's probably dead again by now.

The coolest thing about it is that on the back it lists all the rotary engine versions/models.

you stopped wearing a watch that YOU liked because OTHER people didn't care to notice it?

That and the battery died and it can only be replaced at a jewelry shop, and I didnt want to scratch it or something, yes.

...And I can't even lie, (as someone who normally doesnt wear a watch) it felt like wearing a calculator watch from the 1980's too.

wish the rotor actually spins like how it should in the housing rather than just by itself.

I could be convinced to sell it, but the money would have to be "right".

They pop up every now and then. They probally sell better overseas. If you think those are rare and bidworthy look into used Spirit R Vin Tags!

I can see why a die hard or old skool rotary fan would want one.
