- I recently purchased a mid-50's vintage watch, and on the face it says
-
- ANTIMAGNETIC
- INCABLOC
-
- I can guess what antimagnetic means, but what's "incabloc"? Also, the
- seller recommended winding it at the same time each day, and not while
- wearing it... is this just superstition, or is there some mechanical
- reason for this?
