  Good luck finding one, they are much sought-after.  I myself have
coveted the Chronograph for nigh-on thirty years...I couldn't afford one
then (as a kid), and I can't find one now! ;)

  It's cool to be almost-in-touch with a software developer from Hayes.
 It's very likely that I've run a lot of the code he wrote while he was
there.  Here's a hats-off to him!
